Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Hi, Rick!

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Rick is kind of pretty. Surely you girls have noticed this.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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

Dude, I'm not your problem. Your colleague is.

Oh, I hear you. This happens to me all the time, and apparently the solution is to nursemaid the colleague.

Okay, so it works. But that really doesn't mean it's optimal.

I've sent three emails. I don't have a phone number. There's fuckall I can do for now. Besides, some people who've read the policy plastered everywhere for the past 15 years actually get this sort of thing straightened out ahead of time.

Tell me about it. I have Friday off, and it is never ever going to get here.

We're very well documented, so I always do. When asked "Have you got an answer on X?" that means I need to scurry and call them and walk through the email and wait for the response to show up in my inbox.

Adults.

It is damned hot out here. 100 degrees, also in the shade, according to the rental's thermometer. Which'd be a lot less of a problem if I hadn't decided to browse for stuff in the outdoor mall, and if I weren't wearing work clothes, a-la not shortsleeved shirt with a wool (thin!) tunic over.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I went clothes shopping yesterday (before the doctor visit that resulted in a cast). Do you know what I found?

Crop pants. Racks and racks and racks of them. Does no one wear actual pants any more?
