But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Why is French bread so yummy?

Because hating freedom is always delicious.

Salon is rerunning the whole Dogs in Elk conversation as one of their "posts of the decade."

Har! Does this mean my vanity google hits will triple? Curse my naive use of my whole name on the 'nets back in the day.

Also, wow, that was six years ago.

t eta Hey! They cut out at least two of my posts. Sloppy cut-and-paste.

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

I know my nerves are ground thin by the fact that my body is grossly misbehaving, but people should still be decent. Just because, you know, decent. If you schedule a meeting with a physical location and a con-call #, I kinda understand if you don't activate the con call -- I mean you might figure after fifteen minutes you have all the attendees you're going to get.

But the very next meeting, also with a physical location and con call in the invite, it'd be decent if you let everyone know it was con call only before they drove out to the remote location and got booted from the meeting room. A real kindness.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ita, that actually sounds more like competence than decency.

I am really supposed to do more things today, but I HATE ALL OF THEM.

I hate everything too. I told my krav partner yesterday that I quit. She said "Me too." and then we kept on training. I said we might as well take the stupid brown belt test tomorrow, and she agreed "And if we fail, we can just be blue belts forever." Works for me.

During the level 5 class the instructor came up to me and took my weapon. "Are you all right?" "No." He handed it back to me and walked away. Which was nice.

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

Aw, ita. I am a secretary who would never allow that to happen. You want I should train your peeps?

Please! And can you train them to accept or decline meeting invites? Ignoring them? Also not decent.

OK. I filled out three of six forms. More or less. I think maybe I'll draft one of the brazilian letters on my to-do list. Right now, not only are all of my tasks tedious, they're all also confusing. I hate that.

OH AND ALSO, on an opposite note to ita's invitation issue: If there is a phone number and an email given for RSVPs, you can pick one, not do both. I swear.
