We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I didn't have to go far to do it. They had sessions on campus. But, this was before the internet was widely used. They may do it online now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's about it.

I don't want to work. And, I don't mean just today. I don't want to work. I want about a month where I can lay about, read, watch tv, and not work. I am so burned out right now, it's just not even funny. I need a sabbatical.

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

you looking for a job with these people?

No, no, they sound horrible.

Good news, everyone! My 3pm meeting was cancelled!

Postponed. Whatever. Still, reprieve.

What is even happening?

I don't want to work. And, I don't mean just today. I don't want to work. I want about a month where I can lay about, read, watch tv, and not work. I am so burned out right now, it's just not even funny. I need a sabbatical.

Oh, Chi. I hate that feeling.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Again, I turn to the Buffistas with WTF? moment in modern fashion trends. The woman I just saw wearing a white fitted blouse, mini skirt in a geometric print in turquoise and teal, and brown high-heeled boots of a pirate/RenFaire style was 1) very stylish; 2) dressing in anticipation of the Next Big Thing; or 3) got dressed in a hurry?

Go to grad school!

Seriously, "don't want to work anymore" was in my top five reasons why I went. Maybe top three.

Jilli, you forgot 4) a horror that should be run from.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I used to work in an auditorium where the exit interviews were held. Two days of boredom at the end of each semester. Too bad I didn't have the internet to entertain me back then.

Or, more accurately, everything smelled, and that was really bad.

I've had to bail on shopping a few times for this reason. Even people who were clean and not overly perfumed made me recoil.

BLT lovers must heart me since I don't do raw tomatoes or bacon. I always figured that tomatoes tasted metallic to me as a defense mechanism (I'm allergic to them in raw form).
