Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our Labor and Employment dept seems to have the best cases. I guess because if they aren't settled immediately it's because the employee is nuts. (Actually, they represent your school against the professors.)

The adjuncts, you mean? If they strike, I'm screwed.

I'm excited to hear the case against Bumble and bumble one of my classmates is doing. I also found a case where a woman was trying to call postpartum depression and anorexia (that apparently wasn't that bad?) disabilities, but she didn't get fired, and told everyone how much she loved her job. Dude, you don't get extra money just because you're depressed!

My treat today was a 10% net realized profit on a stock after 17 days. Not as good as last week's 20% net realized profit in 6 days, but a treat nonetheless.

Or sat down for a talking-to.

This is the part I'm dreading, since I'm pretty sure I'll get one.

List your top three accomplishments during the last twelve months:
1 I showed up. Mostly.
2 I did my job. Pretty often.
3 Didn't kill anyone. Yet.

Holy crap, Gud. Can I send you my extra $20?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Dude, you don't get extra money just because you're depressed!

If we did, this past summer would have made me independently wealthy.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I haven't had a treat today. Someone in my office should make a Buttercup Bake Shop run.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My office treat is that I avoided the SARS or whatever that's sent the rest of the production dept. home for at least one day so far this week. Being standoffish and ultra-fastidious about hand washing pays off!

Punishingly Intricate

OH! lisah! Am bummed out that you will be playing in the NYC simultaneous to me seeing Serentity.

darn. yeah. I understand. When we got the show my bass player and I were all, "Noooo Serenity opening night!" But the opportunity is working out so well in every other way that we couldn't really pass it up. We're going to have to wait until Saturday night to see the movie. (unless we get up there early enough and find a convenient enough theatre to see it in before we play)

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

my bass player and I were all, "Noooo Serenity opening night!"

Hey, at least you have shared ground with your band.

Bon, I liked Prison Break. There was frowning and sweating and violence.

I had duck curry for lunch. It was spicy, basil-filled, and sweet in a good way.
