I hate work. I want to be somewhere else.
Can I come?
(They want this thing done by November 7th! November 7th! The system doesn't even work yet! How can I document it if it doesn't work?!?)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Can I come?
Absolutely. Let's swing by and collect shrift then go Elsewhere.

I am hungry. However, the baby is eating. Send cookies.
I am also wearing a pair of (jillidon'tlook) jeans.
I have to figure that I was really amazingly bloated in the weeks before I found out I was pregnant, because I bought these in late August last year (thrift store), and they didn't really zip up with ease, despite being a size larger than I usually wore.
Zip up just fine now, and I know I'm still up a few inches from where I was pre-pregnancy. Sadly, they serve to confirm that structured trousers and me are unmixy things.
Thank goodness my laundry will be ready to dry soon.

Easy-peasey. Just get in your time machine, jaunt ahead to, oh, December 7th or so, document the working system, then come back with the files.
Tho', be careful not to hand them in before the 7th, or else they'll be tempted to make more changes. Causality is a tricky thing, I've found.

Oh, come here! It's the holidays, so vacation, and my plans for the evening just got canceled (my friend's baby is sick and I can't possibly visit). I've also got chocolate to share.
[Edit: just to make sure: I have no idea what we're talking about. I just skipped around a hundred posts and therefore apologize if I completely stepped on my feet while falling into the ongoing conversation.]

I wonder if I can change my plane reservation from Flint, MI to Israel? Nilly's travel plan sounds more fun than mine.

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
I got an invite to go to an Iftar dinner (breaking the fast after Ramadan) with Turkish cuisine.
What is Turkish cuisine?

Nilly, how is Sukkot celebrated? I realized I know virtually nothing about it, other than the huts. (Which I know aren't actual huts.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
What is Turkish cuisine?
Mostly very, very close to Greek, though both Greeks and Turks will loudly and furiously deny any resemblance.
