Non-sequitor: I have no idea what I'm doing at this new job, and I'm tired of being confused all the time.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have finally worked out some of what I'm doing here, and it's quite a relief. Still confused on a daily basis, but at least inbetween confusions I'm able to be useful.
Allyson--can you ask, or is it something you're to absorb by osmosis?
Weird--I'm talking to a guy at a vendor's who has no work email, and is rifling through patently incomplete paper records to give me information. He doesn't do email at all. At least he used the term "stone age" first.

I have no idea what I'm doing at this new job, and I'm tired of being confused all the time.
I was just thinking about how I was like that for at least the first three months of my job that I've had for 7 years now. It was scary! But I gradually figured things out. (I'm looking at new jobs now and going back to that state is pretty scary. But I think the change is necessary.)

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm of the "don't speak ill of the recently dead" school.

So, how's the weather?

I wonder how long we have to wait.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, how's the weather?
It's pretty hot in Hell....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Since we're being so civilized about Mr. Falwell's death, I'll just note that I expect that the full shame of his hateful life will be visited on him when he is in the benificence of God's presence.

Today is purple day. If you are not wearing purple currently, please address this omission immediately. If you are wearing purple, but not a purple top and a black bottom, you are acceptable, but just not cool.

Allyson, is it possible you can just make it up?
I have just been apprised of the fact that there are definite things that are My Job, but I'm not sure what the formula that defines it is. Instead, I'm just doing what's asked of me, and I hope it works out.

I am not wearing purple of any kind. I am a maverick.

I am wearing a white top I bought recently. Hubby frowned at it, and I said, "I am too old enough to wear a white top without spilling on it!" Hubby muttered, "No, you're not."
And the first day I wore it, I dropped a piece of warm chocolate on it. I was being so careful!
God, I was pissed, and I hated that he was going to see it. Fortunately it came out, but still . . .
