you spar with people all the time.
Never mind. I'm just not explaining myself well.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I get it, ita. And I had the same reaction to the heart soaps.
48 hour drill? Dude, even Jack Bauer sleeps after 24 hours.

Three weeks from now sounds like the perfect time for a vacation.
See, I don't know when our disastrous guy is going to show up. I already had plans to be in California at the end of the month.
It'd probably look suspicious if I called in sick tomorrow. Bah.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I'm sorry if I'm being a pain.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If they give you any shit, tell them you're on an errand of mercy for a poor crippled friend. Leave out the part about the road trip, the vids, and the drinking.

I just got spam saying that I won one million dollars in the UK Lottery. Uh-huh. I especially love the "dollars" bit.

And after Big Boss left, my boss just ambled over and told me that we're gonna have a disaster recovery guy here for three weeks, at the end of which we're going to have a 48 hour disaster recovery drill.
I think your being gone for 48 hours should constitute the disaster.

If they give you any shit
If they give me any shit, it's not going to be pretty. I have a horrible headache, my phone is ringing off the hook, my inbox is a disaster area on its own, and I'm so incredibly pissy that I can barely stand myself.
It's like the recipe for a Krakatoa.

Dear Sue,
When you come down here, swing by and pick up shrift and put her on some form of transport heading south.
Love, me
Dear msbelle,
Is she coming to NYC, or any point south?
Love, Sue
p.s. - what job title should I be searching for for you?
In order of preference:
1. Mrs. Clive Owen
2. Lady of Leisure
3. Idle, Wealthy Dilettante
4. Archivist or Assistant Archivist
5. Librarian
To just put the cherry on my day, the HR woman I had to deal with this morning and who was pretty rude to me, just emailed me a request to help her get her boxes into storage. Do you see me caring? Do you see me even opening the email?
Stabby! Stabby!
