INCOMING POGEE MESSAGES
Just now
You have just left for work. Barnaby is alone at home, inspecting the new prescription reading glasses you brought back from Dr. Evans...
I am drafting a formal complaint to the veterinary board.
I specifically requested distinguished tortoiseshell frames. These are red.
Furthermore, there is a cartoon feline plastered to the left hinge. How am I supposed to read my philosophy journals when I look like a toddler's accessory?
Are you entirely devoid of respect for my academic standing?
