There are only 4 people here today, and none of us is the boss. Fortunately, that means plenty of leftover bagels so I don't have to buy lunch!

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

It looks like only one person in our department who outranks me is here today.

Hmmm.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Lucky Jesse!

My boss is gone. My boss' boss is gone. There are only 7 people here (that I know of) out of an office of about 35. Unfortunately, my job is answering the phones so it's not like I can slink out early LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON WHO WORKS HERE DOES.

Goddammit.

I need to get into another department or another job.

Good vibes to them's what needs 'em. I hope I get over my balkiness because as long as I'm here, I ought to use the slow time to get to projects I never have time to do. Like cleaning my desk and making proposals.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I just asked the VP in charge if we were working a full day and she admitted that she did not know what protocol is. I told her it was to let us out ASAP. we'll see.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Nutmeat. I believe I'm going to appropriate that as an insult. "No, no! The other drawer, you nutmeat!" "What a nutmeat." "Suck my nutmeat." "Back off or I will kick you in the nutmeat!"

**LOVE.** I feel the need to use "nutmeat" as an insult, as well. Maybe we can start a trend.

ION, this cold -- aka The Cold I Got For Christmas Because Santa Is A Right Bastard -- can just leave any time now. I feel like ass.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I've done some kind of online dating/personal ad/whatever thing every few years. The first couple of dates SUCK, but then they're fine.

Ugh. I'll be over in the corner, hyperventilating. Why couldn't I have just met some nice boy in college and been done with it??

But in other news, I now have a major craving for crystallized ginger. Fortunately, that one is easily fulfilled!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm one of 5 people in the office--possibly in the whole building. And that includes the former head honcho who is officially in retirement and just came by to finish cleaning out his office. Still, my office chair's comfy, and if I'm here that means I'm not at the mechanic's waiting for them to find further problems with my car. (Yesterday's problems were resolved for 3 hours of my life and $220. Coulda been worse.)

From back in the quirkyalone discussion: I got a 109. They really do need something beyond 2 years since the last date. And what's this going to a bar to meet people thing? Am I the only one who usually goes into a bar to drink?
