Grrrrr. Sewer people did not come today, so I'm on yet another day of Do Not Flush/Brief Shower restriction. I think I may put the overgrown shrubbery to nature's original use by way of protest.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Are you grumpy now?
Only about Matt's sewer people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you get a discount or something, Matt?
Thanks for the rec, JZ.

I'm thinking of making a Christmas card out of a photo of my discolored, peeling bedroom ceiling and sending it to my landlord. I know I'm pretty patient about maintenance issues, but it's been months since the Katrina-spawned thunderstorms with no further leakage that would prevent cosmetic repair.

I think I'd get a "just be glad you're on the third floor." I know there are hazards to living in beautiful old buildings, but I'd prefer not to have using the public restrooms available in my slummy area of town be one of them.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Thanks for the rec, JZ.
Bear in mind, she's still angling for those Eyes episodes...

I've already committed to the Eyes episodes, and just asked for her address to mail them to her. Admittedly, a little behind my stated schedule, but if a concussion doesn't buy me a little time, I think her angling for the nice list fails quite miserably.

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
Your downstairs neighbor should send you a "thank you for not pooping into my apartment" bouquet of flowers, Matt. Seriously, you're being really nice about it all.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
HEY! GUY I WORK WITH!
When you change policy from how I've been doing things for well over a year (and let's not talk about the tears, blood, and pain it caused me to get them to where they are), LET ME KNOW. And by that I mean actually sit me down, say "This is how we are changing things and this is why." and not by just telling me to do something I have previously gotten into trouble for and when I question it saying, "Just do it, please." and sighing very loudly at me.
Eff you.

Does FTD make that bouquet?
