This is punishment for the years I was a sullen teen, isn't it?
Sorry, the punishment really comes in a dozen or so years. Actually, my teens aren't anywhere near the pain in the ass I was. My poor mom.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

No. Mom woke at 6. She's decided to leave tonight and not next monday. Her rational is that everyone here is stable (which is kinda true). I have apologized again to no avail. Sigh.

I'm...I'm really stunned. Even if things are stable, it seems so odd to me that a new grandmother would leave any earlier than necessary. Are you okay?

ita, I watched the Unit last week and was yelling "he stole your shit" when he gave it back to her. I also wanted to know why she didn't get the guy's card or something. but, that would have ruined the plot device.
Did you watch his week?

What is even happening?
Kat, I'm sorry.
Oddly there was a "happy" ending, but I don't know what it was.

Foo. As if another demonstration of transitions =hard is needed.
eta: I guess that could apply to the coyote news too. Urbanization, natural territories all that stuff...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I really had to get back to the capital quickly so I'm not sure I had time to fry her up. In fact, I'd just been looking for taxi service when one guy sent me to another place and the preacher had his way with me. The town hooker saw me after I'd burnt them all to a crisp and offered to give me some clothes. It was about when I was asking for something less revealing than the leopard print swimsuit she was wearing when she went postal.
Brains are weird.
Haven't seen this week's yet. I'm almost grateful my TiVo's been fucking up channel changing (top IR transceiver got knocked out of place, and I didn't check until just now) since that means less TV waiting for me.
How did I do this work thing before?
Okay, gotta shower and get out of the house.

Granted, I stayed up far too late last night, but today's people seem to be either so staggeringly stupid that I can't be bothered to mock them for it, or their requests are so incredibly labyrinthine that I can't freaking parse them. I'm only halfway down my coffee cup, and I'm already grabbing the monitor and growling, "ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER."

I've now made out a 25-item to-do list for today/this week. None of the items include stuff like "find a new job". I suppose I need a 26th item....

Are you okay?
I am mostly. I'm just bemused, I think. She's going because she's hurt and upset and I get it. I was an ass and what I said was tactless and hurt her feelings. But COME ON.
How did I do this work thing before?
You kept thinking, "oooh! paycheck!"
