but no idea what the fuck is going to happen around here now.
Like you did before!?
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

No lines, though, and shrift, they did not ask me for any ID. Which they're really not supposed to do anyway.
Awesomecakes, brenda.
And I just realized that my polling place is, like, around the corner from my apartment. Maybe a five minute walk, tops. Er. Guess I probably could have voted this morning had I actually been capable of thought.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'm always out of the country when it comes time to vote. But it's nice to hear ya'll's stories of voting.
I didn't go in to "breakfast" temp today, and instead decided to take the day off. Accomplishments: sleeping until 1:30 in the afternoon; drinking a pot of coffee; making pad thai. Tomorrow I try the breakfast temp thing once more; methinks I'm being put aside for the time being. Frak.
I don't want to get spoiled for the Daily Show, so I'm not going to keep track of who's winning what except for Tennessee.

Point. But without our "Crusader for Truth and Logic," things can only get nuttier.
(Actually, that's another good example. Someone's title changed a while back, we used that new title in a document, and got all kinds of shit over it because it was apparently just an "internal title." The fuck? But it did spur us to come up with our own internal titles, like the above.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
what is the Breakfast Temp thing- you go in and wait to see if something happens?

I'm so excited to watch Jon and Stephen tonight. I probably should be more excited by democracy in action, but democracy isn't nearly as cute as fake pundits.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yes, the Pacific octopus is a very clever beastie, but those schools of small, fast-breeding squid that get netted and chopped up for calamari? Not so much.
This makes me so happy. Giving up octopus was easy, I've missed the calamar.

Yeah. You get yourself put together and go to the main office and wait to see if someone needs you for the day. And if they don't, you don't get paid; you've just wasted your day. Fun times.

Me too! I can't find an ahem for last night's, though, which is sad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that's really annoying. I did that on my own at home for a while when I started temping -- got up at 7, showered and was ready to go when I called them at 8 -- but at least I was still at my house.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It's the white collar equivalent of day laborers. Do they at least provide breakfast for you in the office? If not, they should change the name.
