Always Anti-fascist!

Oh, my God. And I thought the Dale Gribble types who got my match profile were scary.

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

I've just dived headlong into a new process featuring a new team in our department. No one seems to know how it works. I'm trying to get approvals up my line of management, and everyone keeps pushing back saying "new team! new team!" Yeah, I know. The new team is waiting on you guys. And they'll only wait until 4.

And my line of management is the one that instituted this mandatory approval change.

Someone suggested I apply for a job at JDate, but I never bothered. They do, however, have one of the funniest billboards I've ever seen: "Why is this date different from every other date?"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's a funny billboard. My SiL met her ex on JDate. I think she's using it again now that she's divorced.

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 just got home from getting a pedicure and a chocolate custard. Life is good.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

My landlady just called to say the hallway in my room is too cluttered and could I pack it up and clean it up some (this went on for a while, and involved the phrases "if you could be a little more cooperative" and "just help out a little more" which I am choosing to believe she used without meaning the extra-condescending connotations). Know what's in the hallway in my room? A bookcase and my chest of drawers, because there's nowhere else in the room to put them. I'd call back and ask her where the fuck she thinks they should go, but it would just make me grind my teeth down some more.

Well, Emily, what's nice is that you're moving soon! Yay! So you won't have to worry about pleasing your landlady anymore anyway.

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

What Consuela said, though I still want to crank call your landlady or something like that.

Consuela, YAY, and no need to bring anything.
