Too much sharing.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

I get 20 days of vacation plus 9 regular and 1 floating holiday a year. The problem is, only 15 days of vacation can be carried over past New Year's (well, extended to June 1 in 2006), overtime work earns comp time which counts toward the 15 day limit instead of actual money, and there's much gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands if I try to take even a single day off.
I'd be thrilled by the comp time setup if I weren't always overloaded to the point that regular days off I try to schedule get deep-sixed. But comp time only works as an incentive for extra work if they actually let you take the time off.

I think there's a song in here somewhere. "We used to bungle in the jungle, but now it's just thrubbery in the shrubbery.."

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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
Okay. So despite being on the verge of death, I've managed to tidy up, do a load of laundry, vacuum, sweep, swiffer, take out the trash, pay rent, and scour the tub.
Being a grownup verily does blow. I just felt sicker looking at the sloth I was living in, and now, although the cold remains, my life feels better. If that makes any sense.
Now to have a bowl of soup, take medicine, take a bath, put on my fresh jammies, and sleep the fuck out of this plague.

Go nap. Nap for those who cannot nap!
People need to stop calling me. My phone can go for weeks without ringing. Today, I've had five calls. Never quite sure what kind of squawk is going to emerge. It has alarmed a couple callers.

No. Just eating a dog.

Last night I frantically tidied up and swept, put in a new shower curtain, and cleaned out the visible gunk in my bathtub drain (not that it's actually draining any faster, but at least it doesn't look horrific anymore). My landlord is spraying for pests today, and I'm really not keen on more than one room being a sty when he passes through.
I do find myself wondering if he'll open my bathroom blinds and enjoy the sudden dive-bombing of the wasps I trapped behind them.
