And don't get me started on the timer on the coffee pot.
Oh, as usual, dear.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

The medication must be working well, I didn't even get annoyed at the commuters on the T this morning, despite it being cold enough that the garbagemen on my commute were wearing ski masks! So I have nothing to add to Stuff I Didn't Say.
I must be losing my edge.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Is it really 3:30 EST? Because it feels like I have been at work FOREVER. This is probably because I've spent all day uncreatively avoiding work, but fuck it feels like I've been doing that ALL DAY.

Occasionally, we get emails threatening to confiscate all the toasters, coffeepots and space heaters. Everyone just shoves them into a cabinet for a couple days.
The last thing that caught fire? Was a computer. Not a toaster.
I just got out of a 90 minute meeting. It included the phrase "when we take a dump" and exorb, which is, in fact, a word, but I don't think the developer who uttered it knew that. At least half the participants were in full metal 12.

Uh-huh. I'm sure I looked like such the Jennifer Hudson fangurl. And it was probably just some flunkie of the mayor's that I couldn't be near.
I don't know. Maybe Chicago has hot flunkies!
While I admit that James Marsters needed security at Dragon*Con, I wasn't someone they needed to worry about.
If I ever attend a con with David Hewlett as a guest, on the other hand, I might need a chaperone.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I have survived SSA. They wouldn't give me a number while I wait for the card, despite office outside of NYC doing that. But, I should have a card for mac in 2 weeks.
WHEE!
Also, I have ice cream.
ALSO ALSO! I had BONBON chicken for lunch. www.bonbonchicken.com

Also, you know what two words I'd like to strike from e-mail correspondence for at least a month?
Please advise.
My advice is to stab yourself in the face, okay?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I had Robin Eggs and M&Ms for b'fast and am about to have vanilla ice cream for lunch. I is an adult!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Kathy's job sounds awesome to work for. Allyson's NSM.
In just two weeks, mac will be able to get a job? Sweet!
I am so over my work trauma. I just had what should have been a traumatic meeting, but it's all still the same trauma I was going through a couple of weeks ago, so now I can't care anymore. I am forward-looking!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love "please advise." I'm not sure it's passive enough to be passive aggressive, but I sure mean "I defer to you because you're an officious bitch, and I absolve myself of as much responsibility as possible wrt this clusterfuck. Your serve."
I kinda napped, kinda watched Heroes. Time to kinda eat lunch now, I guess.
