Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Close call! I just had to tell my officemate (/subordinate) about Dress A Day, forgetting that she always wants to know how, exactly, I know people. I went back to my old standby, "Oh, friend of a friend, that kind of thing...."

I vote the someone with a cowbell comes in tomorrow morning and finds their run-over cowbell on the desk. I think that is worse than the stupid singing fish I had to disable a few years back.

I am immune to these earworms.

I keep thinking it's Thursday.

I'm ahead of you, because I keep thinking it's Tuesday.

someone a cube over is fiddling with a goddamned stupid cowbell that shouldn't have been allowed in the building anyway

I think you need to ask if they have a prescription for it and, if not, take it away from them (and possibly beat them with it until they bleed from the eyes).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Have I mentioned how much I hate automated phone systems that pretend to be people?

Yes, okay, I have. But I still hate them.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Heh. Aren't you guys friends with my agent, who is Erin's sister? At some point, how you met is irrelevant, righteo? (This is my new thing, I will add "eo" to the ends of words with great whimsy.)

Seriously, I never get why people ask, "how did you meet?" It never occurs to me.
