Don't sweat the small stuff, it's a long walk back to Eden.

Overheard At Work...

*entering samples into computer*

[Kristen:]  Why are people so weird? This dog's name is Clotho.
[Me:]  Where are Lachesis and Atropos?
[Kristen:] What?
[Me:] They're the Fates.
[Kristen:] I have no idea what you're talking about.
[Me:] Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos!
[Kristen:] Listen, hippie, I don't speak nerd!
[Me:] Clotho spins the thread of life, Lachesis measures the thread of life and determines how long you live, and Atropos cuts the thread of life with her giant scissors.
[Kristen:] You can keep talking but I still won't know what you're talking about.
[Me:]  A little while ago I had a dachshund named Boinky.
[Kristen:] That's better.

You ain't no nice guy!

Overheard In The Bedroom...

[John, sick:] Oh, god.
[Me:] There is no god, only Zuul.
[John:] I'm dying. I've got the apocalypse plague.
[Me:] It's just Captain Trips.
[John:] Heh?
[Me:] Tell me, have you been dreaming about an old woman or a walkin' dude in a denim jacket?
[John:] ...I'm not...dreaming about either of those people...
[Me:] You've never read "The Stand"?
[John:] No.
[Me:] Ugh.
