I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Clearly, I must reward myself with ice cream. Right?

Yes, you absolutely must.

As I've gotten older, I've become more intellectually flexible; but when I was 18, I was a notable dingbat.

I Was an 18-Year-Old Dingbat. Sounds like a title for my memoirs!

Friends don't let friends kill natter. I'm just saying.

The status is NOT quo.

Hi shrift!

I got nothing. I'm just trying to bring it back to life.

Maybe they are "soul-mates"

Sounded more like drunken grope-mates.

Frankly, I find the latter less squicky, I think because I'm not second-guessing anyone's true motives.

What is even happening?

I know, poor shrift.

Hey, was that 90 car pile up anywhere near you? It got a lot of news coverage, or seemed to, because I don't watch the news, and still heard about it several times. I think our news casts led with it, that night.

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

How impolite is it to take a sharpie to a sign in a public place at work? I mean, it's just a printout ... that mentions the existence of two search criteria's.

It's driving me batty.

It's done all the time here at the Evil Empire in Redmond.

ita, you're a project manager, right? Why can't I have you on the projects I work on? If I could have you as the PM, and Betsy as my tech writer, my work days would be SO much nicer.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

It's only impolite if you get caught. (Well, even then I wouldn't say it was impolite, but I'd find it awkward. I always wait to be alone before doing that kind of thing.)

ita, I feel your pain.

In the girls' bathroom at school, there are the usual scrawled messages on the stall walls. "Your a f*cking c*nt bitch" is on one of the doors in dark marker that shows through coats of paint. As a teacher, I should be offended by this profanity. Instead I fight the urge to bring a sharpie in and correct the "your".

This may be an indication that I have issues.

I should put in an office supplies request for Tippex (White Out?) just so I can clean it up.

Jilli, I'd love to! Except for the evil empire thing (though some people may opine that my current employers are their analogue in a different industry).

Which really reminds me I need to go back to interminable PM-related paperwork. Yuck.
