Tabby is an April Fool

[grrgoyl]

Working from home definitely has its advantages. For one, not being victimized by pranks others consider "harmless April Fool's jokes." Poor Tery has no such protection, however. She arrived at the hospital only to be told by Tabby that someone had called in looking for their lost white ferret. They had been out of the country and unable to reach their housesitter. She played it until Tery was ready to call me in tears. This was still less cruel than calling her mother to inform her she had been in a head-on collision on the way to work and had her already restricted license revoked permanently. She gave the poor woman a half hour before calling her back with the punchline. She also went next door to the gas station, mixed orange juice and lemonade, passed it off as her dog's urine, and had the techs run a urinanalysis on it. They were trying to figure out how to break it to her that her dog was severely diabetic when she could keep a straight face no longer (I said I would have gone a step farther and taken a sip of it).

Tabby is eeeeeeeeeeevil.

As she told me these stories gleefully, I dispassionately said, "Then you won't mind hearing that I sold our Sarah McLachlan tickets on eBay for a healthy profit." Tery joked she could use her half of the winnings to pay for her car.

Man, am I glad I work alone.

BTW: Only 7 shopping days left to my birthday, people. Let's show some hustle.
