Oh, I don't know, if I really hate it, I can cry, draw my lips in a few hundred times and dye my hair and make people start mistaking me for Mariska Hargitay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is a beautiful phrase, erika.
Jesus, Steph -- that's so crazy. Definitely report the income somehow, and eff your shady employer.
So, a coworker of mine got let go today. Of course, I've know it was going to happen for WEEKS, because my boss is just that unprofessional. Another coworker floated the idea of applying for the job, and my boss brought the idea to a higher-up last week, who was all, "And why does [coworker] even know that job might be open??" Yeah.

Steph, yeah, I think pointing out to boss lady that you're going to have to report it legally and it will eventually come back to haunt the company -- you can phrase it as being concerned for the sake of the company. Besides, seriously, I would have expected that having to account for monies spent developing a book would be stuff you can deduct from the taxes owed by the company.
I got my student ID today! Now I can into movies at a reduced rate, woohoo!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't get over this sentence from yesterday's vaginal reconstruction link:
Some patients say having a sleeker, thinner labia makes a tremendous difference in their lives.
I...I...I just don't get it. But perhaps I spend too much of my life wearing underwear.
If you're being a pedant about kilo- and mega- and powers of two, you're wrong. Hmmph.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Trudy!

Am I crazy, or does "General Petraeus" sound like a Star Trek character?
