Today I forgot my glasses, my badge, my laptop, and also forgot that i needed to get gas on the way to work.
Now I have an ounce of gas in my car, I can't see, and I have to wear a sticker with my face on it all day.
Me = dumb.
My food is problematic.

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

I think I wound up with an older guy because I didn't want to date anyone I went to high school with. Mr. Jane went to my HS, but graduated long before I got there.

What is even happening?
- Threaten to stuff a scientist in his locker unless he lends you ten bucks
- Go get gas
- Go home
- Get glasses
- Get badge
- Code it all on your time sheet as "Professional Development; other"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Allyson, can you drive OK without your glasses?

Huh?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
The ENT physician I saw this morning made an unfortunate assumption about me after finding out that I'm from Alabama and work for the Legislature in this state. This led to his observations about how unfit women's brains are for anything other than raising children and how wonderful it is to be white and Southern and male. I wanted to point out that just being fat and having sideburns doesn't make me Toby Keith, but he kept sticking pointy metal things into my nose, so I was loathe to piss him off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh?
Because of the missing badge, I'd wager.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Laura is 10 years older than her DH and I'm six years older than mine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not a sticker on her face, which was my first reading.
You need a minion.
I have a minion! I was surprised and dismayed to learn that it only means that between the two of us, we're supposed to get EVEN MORE STUFF done. WTF?
Jesse, I need money. Why do you hate me?
No hate! You can come be my temp if you want.
bon bon is renowned for doing stuff for other people for free!
EXCELLENT point.

I can drive okay without glasses, yep. I can't read license plates more than two cars ahead, and street signs two blocks ahead.
Working at the computer bothers me, though. My nose keeps getting closer to the screen.
I'm gonna ask to take half a day off, anyway, Cindy. That was I can tackle these notes.
