That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so glad you're home, ita. Mind, I'm still giving the long-distance stinkeye to about half the hospital staff (especially Bad Addiction Cop, who can most seriously fuck off).
You totally should have snuck the plasma screen out as compensation for all the indignities. How, I'm not sure. If it folded down the middle, you could wrap it up in your cherry pj's, but that's probably not an option.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To be honest, I'm not looking forward to standing up, but my family should be landing in an hour or so and I'll have to be all vertical for them.
Hmmph. I guess I'll tell them where I spent the last two days, but I don't want to be hovered over. My timing sucks.

Our wings are not tired.
ita, so relieved you're out. And what JZ said about the plasma; next time yank it. That set up sounds right hot for a hospital. But, still, hospitals suck.
Emily. I am bummed that I didn't get to see you before you left. But I am soooooper excited that you're someplace where job offers aren't so evasive.

Thanks, folks. I have to be honest, I'm still torn about whether I should call them and turn them down tomorrow. It'd be teaching a) 4 preps and b) advanced classes in AutoCAD and the like.
Anyway, I'm off to check email and go to bed. Yay, Jilli! And ita!

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
Should I send you a little pack of invites, ita?
I just broke up my keyboard, washed the keys, and set them on the counter to dry. It was a weirdly sad experience.

I read that as you broke up with your keyboard. I wondered if it cheated on you or something.

Ah, fuck. Laptop refuses to work, just as soon as guests are supposed to start staying over, and the Pepto Bismol I took to calm my stomach has artificial sweetening...and it's not like I could puke it up before the migraine started.
Why are things this inane?

I. don't. know.
Do you want to see a really cool Tony Jaa fight scene though?

Not right now. Right now I have to go through my work emails and see why everyone thinks I'm working this weekend. Hopefully I can get that out of the way before family shows up.
