Oooh, paper cut? BRING IT.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm freeeee. Four day weekend. After a long day with clients. Yay.
This has the advantage of separate apartments with the added opportunity for small tunnels through the ceiling/floor so our cats could move back and forth at will.
They could carry notes back and forth! Although you would have to allow for the fact that the notes might not arrive very promptly. So, not the way to handle questions like, "Do you smell smoke?"

the whole world is my hat!
Am I way overcaffeinated, or does this make no sense to anyone else?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Psst, Sue, we're pretending it makes sense, so that msbelle won't cut us.

Dear Ernesto
Please leave your wild ways out to sea and dump all that water elsewhere before you reach the Carolinas. I'm already having to work 11 hours tomorrow, and if you don't behave yourself I'm working straight through the holiday weekend at 11 hours a day. Granted, overtime, but please, I'm too old for 44 hours in 4 days.
Love and kisses, me and my tech support cronies.

Oh!
Lee- Sorry, I must have been mad with the caffeination. Please don't hurt me, msbelle!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
DH and I got along in a tiny NYC apartment and in our one bedroom here. I do go out of the house for work all day, which makes a difference, but when we are home, we are basically in the same room all the time. My alone time is a bath and a book, and I do take a bath several times a week and LOVE it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oy. I just had...I'm at a loss for adjectives other than...long talk with the boss. Was supposed to be half an hour, turned out to be an hour.
Long story short, I'm disappointed in people, but really have to get over that and get shit done anyway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's not a great outcome, ita, but if it's what you have to work with, I guess it's good to know that's what you have.
DH lived in a 400 sf apt with no heat and no stove for 6 months - we couldn't see staying there for the summer with no A/C. The bathroom was so tiny you couldn't close the door if you were standing at the sink. The outside was not too pleasant. That is where we either learned how to get along or discovered we were really compatible. It could have been a huge ordeal, but it was more of a cozy adventure.
We were both working, then. During the recent months that DH was working from home and I was not working, having several rooms and a nice yard for either of us to escape to has been much more necessary.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Damn it! Talked to my boss again. It's sounding like this is going to be a permanent change, not me covering for someone on vacation. They do not pay me nearly enough to drive 40 miles in rush hour traffic, work nights and have no social life (shift is 6pm to 6am Wednesday through Friday nights, with alternating Saturdays. I literally will be at work when my friends are getting together on the weekends.) I grumbled a lot, but I dealt with the re-org and the idiotic new policies, but I draw the line at them hosing my life outside of work.
Anyone know of a place in the northern Chicagoland area looking for a PC tech, because if this ends up being permanent, I'm out the door the first instant I am able. I took tomorrow off just to get a 4-day weekend, but it looks like it's going to be spent updating my resume and trawling the job sites.
