Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Holy Crap, work is crappy like crap city today!
My cow-orker and I were working together making these binders we needed for a class tomorrow. She is slightly senior to me. We discovered that the copy center had shorted us 1/2 the material, so I ran over there to see if it was there. When I came back BIG! Boss (my boss', boss' boss) and her secretary were helping with the binders and my boss and I were getting in trouble for letting this woman work alone! Except, she wasn't and we were fine, if a little frazzled, except for the fact that the copy center shorted us half the copies!
Also, everyone is up my ass because I can't work overtime, because I am the only hourly employee-- but they can't understand that during the year I have a student working 12 hours a week doing actual work, so now I have to do that too!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Judd Apatow has unearthed the real reason I'm scared to have kids:
“My way of dealing with the world has always been to make fun of it and observe it but not take part in it,” Apatow told me when we first met in the fall of 2005. “That’s how I became a writer. But when you have kids, suddenly you have to be part of things. It leads almost to a breakdown because your whole defense mechanism is now really destructive.”
Damn.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I read that in bed last night, Zenkitty, and the same paragraph smacked me right in the face.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Either I've had too much caffeine or today is really weird.
Could be both.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, I just had to try to make "Sometimes it's ok to submit a pile of crap!" into a pep talk, so I'm OK with calling it weird.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
This waking-up-at-random-times thing can stop right now. At least I went back to sleep, unlike this weekend. feh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I liked this bit from the Apatow interview:
He finally met like-minded kids who could stay up all night talking about Monty Python. “I felt like the bumblebee girl in the Blind Melon video who finally meets other bumblebees,” Apatow told me. “I cried every time I saw that.”
Crying over the little bee girl. But a lot of Buffistas have said similar things about finding this community. I love that he's still so close with his F&G cast.
Makes me want to go back and watch my Undeclared box set, I'll tell you what!
