In the midst of a flood of automatic replies to one of my email newsletters from furloughed NIH staff, I got this beaut, which takes absolutely NO prisoners:

We lost our very beloved cat Otis last week, and he is finally home with us again. The mailman set the box labeled "PET CREMAINS" on the porch so I could sign for it, then picked it back up again, handed it to me gently, and said, "I'm so sorry for your loss."

One of NNLM's Book Club selections for September is a 338-page book on how technology has destroyed our ability to focus on anything longer than 65 seconds, and I just wanted to let you know that reports of the death of irony have been *greatly* exaggerated. #medLibs
