I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh Man. I know what I mean when I say that about a student. you're mean, Jesse.

Not mean! Your needs are special! Not all of us are growing people!! Some of us are growing as people, but that's different.

Always Anti-fascist!

That makes me sad. He used to be kind of a nummy treat. Now looking at his photo is risking a contact high. (And not really cause he got older...I have a lot of boomer oost. But the puffy...yikes.)

So, not puffy and alcoholic?

Well, I wasn't standing right next to him, but from about 20 feet away, he didn't look puffy and hungover at all. Cute and sheepishly wearing a Santa hat, yes.

I mean, unless that wasn't Vince, and I hallucinated the extras and the camera, and the other six dudes in Santa Claus outfits.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Did you spend three hours talking about sexual harrassment with HR?

What is even happening?

Actually, scratch that. Let's start with whoever made my current vacuum. There doesn't seem to be a way to remove the plastic ends, so that you get a straight tube and, say, unclog the tube with a broomstick. Suggestions?

I hate my vacuum too, megan. It's 12 years old and not that good, but will not die. It's a Hoover Legacy (upright) and it mocks me.

People here (possibly Cass and/or ita) had some miracle vacuum they loved.

What's a good vacuum? At this stage, I think I'd rather not have an upright, because it makes doing the stairs difficult, and for the now, the stairs are still carpeted. But I wouldn't eschew an upright if it was a great vacuum.

The status is NOT quo.

This was my hell last Tuesday.

I am also in desperate need of a new vacuum. My vacuum is a vintage 1970 Sears Kenmore. It is older than me. It kinda works, but I am dying for something that really works. And preferably isn't $400.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What's a good vacuum?

I love my Eureka Boss. It's like the poor woman's Dyson, and comes with a lot of extenders/brushes/thingamajigs.

Nah, they're outside my building now.

Oh, good. Because I didn't get any coffee this morning, and I wondered if I was still dreaming.

Did you spend three hours talking about sexual harrassment with HR?

No. I have several giant packets with insurance and benefits information. It took almost three hours for us to walk through the corporate presentation. AUGH.
