Sail, have you escaped a workplace recently speaking of work and escapes?
Almost. Next Friday is my last day. Whoohoo!
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That story is just ... bees. I've had to explain it several people because "er ... bees" is now my default stammer.
Good lord, George Clooney is narrating a Budweiser commercial on my tv right now. I think I have bees.

Ginger - I may just wear RTFM on my sleeve (thx to thinkgeekers who believe my wardrobe needs more black [! as if ... though I am 1 less pair of black boots...]). She wouldn't notice if I tattooed it on my forehead. It will be tucked under a jacket of some sort, instead. How's your voice?
DH is learning quickly about the spicy sparkliness and general brains. He's a good DH. Just knows that when I speak ill of someone, they're usually about to sit down at the next table.

Our wings are not tired.
I think reinforcing the external force bringing us together/joint effort is an excellent idea
I agree. I have to train people a lot. When they resist I find it helpful to pull them away from their usual office too because they will be continuously doing some other thing. We both hate this. Let's get through it quickly could work.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Thanks for supportive-y thoughts and whatnot. I mean, I do see that she has a point, and the guidelines are there. I'm just... not very savvy with this stuff yet. I work at learning, but some of this stuff, it's like I don't understand the language to even go find it. The subject matter I'm good at, it's the dissertation training (note: I am not in a Ph.D. program) that I'm trying like hell to pick up on the fly. So, I totally get her point, and subsequently, I feel like a horse's ass. But I'm letting it go. I could have found the information in a better way, she could have maybe not been so harsh about it. (I don't need to be handheld, but shit, I don't need to be told to fuck off.)
Anyway. Yes, the letting go is a slow process, but hopefully a good night's sleep will help with that. Thanks, y'all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(can someone explain the bees?)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Still no voice, but at least I seem to have stopped being a snot machine.
It's possible that doing the huge amount of work I did outside, plus the painting inside was not the wisest plan. On the other hand, I almost have the garden shed sort of organized, which may be a miracle. I discovered a number of things that I had replaced because I couldn't find them.
The painting I'm doing just the cabinet over the stove, so there's a plastic dropcloth between me and cooking. I think I'm having toast for dinner.
