Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, that's great! So you had to take that nasty examination with all the sugar drinking?

Oh, yes. There were two rounds. The first one, I failed. The second one involved an early, fasting blood draw followed by drinking even MORE sugary stuff and then by a blood draw every three hours. I have HUGE bruises in the crook of both arms but I'm thankfully FREE of the GD.

Which means, of course, I still need to be reasonable about what I eat but I don't have to militantly ban all the good stuff (i.e. Krispy Kreme) from my diet.

So I want many of them to show up, just not ALL of them.

Hmmm. Any chance of a transit strike in your area?

That goes double when fully half the employees make a profession out of being bored.

Wait, you mean I could do this professionally? This opens up broad new vistas of job opportunities for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hmmm. Any chance of a transit strike in your area?

Ha! That would mean five people would show.

Nah, I'm sure it will be fine, and everyone will have a seat. I just hate the idea that potentially cranky people will have my name.

OMG and the guy who is apparently incapable of spelling out "please"? I'm going to cut him. Seriously. He can apparently only type "pl."

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

ita, insent.

Misinterpret it for maximum embarassment (his). People, place, placate, plate, platypus, pleasure, plankton . . .

You would be tragically wrong.

And this just made me think of tragically lickable John. Mm.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And this just made me think of tragically lickable John. Mm.

Ah. Yet another reason I haven't gotten much done today.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Because it's a better option than flying to Chicago and bludgeoning the people I'm working with.

Outsource. I've got some time free this afternoon, plus some residual rage from last week that I could stand to work out on someone.
