A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

So it's evil, smoking toddlers, shrift?

That's . . . really easy to picture, actually.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm trying to convince myself that no, I may not leave early, even if they keep postponing an actual release of this system I'm documenting. They're still going to want the training like three seconds after it is finally released, and they're going to be looking at me.

Or I could go home and nap.

Shrift's work day is mine. We opened a new building. Things weren't quite ready and didn't quite work, and my boss deserved killin' 'cause her way of dealing with stress is to make the lives of those around her miserable.

The building's pretty, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Things weren't quite ready and didn't quite work

I vote nap.

I'm getting pinged by my sister, my mother, multiple coworkers, even more clients, and somebody's Outlook Express just stopped recognizing his personal folders, so mentally I'm huddling under the bed.

Oh, right! Is it this weekend that's zero hour, or next?

Duly noted. Mine get vicious and specific.

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

I got my hot and my cheese. Not quality, but Costco cheese pizza will do in a pinch.

Next, but this weekend we caravan to pick up our dresses.

Duly noted. Mine get vicious and specific.

Normally I think mine do, too. But today I am scatterbrained and beseiged.
