"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Nobody read it? Really? I figured any office includes at least one person who'd need to.

Well, at that point, we didn't need to, since his soon-to-be-ex was calling up our coordinator as if she were a secretary, demanding to know when he'd be in the office, on a daily basis. There was not a detail of that divorce we did not know about, before the end.

Not surprised on the Blockbuster front. I coulda told you that fine print would come into play when I saw those "no late fees" commercials, but I am aware many people do not understand the meaning of fine print to their lives.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It looks print only, Dana, but I'll keep poking around.

No big worry. I'm sure it'll start spreading.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Jeez, brenda, so you work for the Navy Seals?

You'd think so, wouldn't you.

The non-profit world can be as hard-assed as the private sector, they just cover it better.

Huh. May have disturbed coworker by proclaiming, "I want to kill her. No, I want to kill her, resurrect her, and then KILL HER AGAIN."

Possible am watch too much Buffy. Possible am need Valium.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Make the crazy bad people go away.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Don't you have to resurrect it and kill it again?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So INCREDIBLY unprofessional. Also rude, but most importantly, UNPROFESSIONAL.

I was going to say...

Anyway, I feel very ugh today. My head has hurt for about 3 days now. I want it to end.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One of my coworkers asked me how our joint presentation/demo went. I told her we ran too long, and that it's not respectful to the audience to do that. She's been on the phone in a personal call in a language I don't understand in a very whiny tone of voice for the last 40 minutes.

I'd laugh if there was a connection. She asks for feedback more than anyone else, but takes it so poorly.

Which makes me gentle, but no less honest.

Ah, well. Must go chiro.

That's why you are going to be a good teacher, ita. In the end, it's all about how you present the criticism.
