Me at work, putting away overstocks. I need to write the quantity on them. Hmmmm... 3 boxes deep x 6 boxes wide x 12 per box = 18 x 12 = I don't feel like calculating that. Think think think...
3 x 6 x 12
= 3 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3
= 2³ x 3³
= 8 x 27
= 216
Seriously, if you don't use math at work, I don't think you're actually doing any work.
(And yes, I could have done 3 x 72 instead which would have been simpler, but the prime factorization was so obvious it distracted me.)

Me, approaching the door on my way in to work.
Coworker: Hi Elise, Corrie quit.
Me inside the store.
Supervisor of another department: Hi Elise, Corrie quit.
Me after team meeting.
My supervisor: So Elise, Corrie quit.
Me tidying up at 6:00 AM as the opening crew comes in.
Supervisor of the opposite end of the store: I'm sure you'll hear soon enough but - Corrie quit.
Me almost ready to leave the floor as the sales staff turn up.
Supervisor of Corrie's department: Hey Elise, Corrie quit, I have an opening in my department.
======
Either I complained about Corrie a lot more than I thought, or Corrie complained about me a lot more than I thought.

Her Majesty's health bulletin: no new developments this week. No nosebleeds, no faking-one's-own-death since Monday, no dying and coming back evil... just a lot of sleeping, moderate amount of eating, and today we walked almost a block and a half, haltingly, before she decided to turn back. She's very thin but not shaking, not incontinent, not in any evidence of pain. If she just slowly fades away like this, that's fine by me.

I go out to pay the rent, leaving the dog asleep on the bed. I come back an hour later, she's in an unnaturally extended position, eyes wide open and fixed, no sign or sound of breathing. So I was like "how can you have died in the hour I was gone?" Then I poked her... and she's perfectly fine. You damn dog!!!!!!!! You're doing this on purpose. I know it. And if anyone thinks my dog isn't capable of faking her own death every fews days to fuck with my head, you just don't know Her Majesty. She always was the most manipulative little thing.
