Lazy Thursday

Libby calls in sick today. Assures me that this is the first time she's ever done so, ever, in her whole working life. Ever. And it won't happen again. Ask her what about when she has her baby? She replies that she intends to take one week off. Do not believe this for a second. Rest of day feel unusual freedom. Billy (work study student) makes a puppet out of a paper bag. Puppet is a wicked but very funny facsimile of the vice-boss--drinks vodka (water from cooler), eats pills (paperclips), and shoplifts clothes (envelope.) Becomes anorexic (rubberband cinched around middle of bag.)
