Poor shrift!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Stay strong, shrift!!

I got feedback from my boss about my six-year-old interviewee. Apparently, he was the one who wanted to come into work today in a blazer, because he wanted a job. He thought it was a real interview, and was nervous. And after the interview, he asked his dad if he really got the job. ("No, that was just pretend.") I only asked three questions.

So cute! And yet, I'm with Liese.

And I knew that article was about Colin Farrell before I clicked, from Robin's description. Heh.

I'm trying to set up my new DVR, and I think I fucked something up. I was supposed to wait "2 - 10 minutes" while it connected or whatever, and it's now been 20, and still "No Signal" from my TV. I'm 80% sure I hooked the cables in the right places. Do I call the cable company?

Are you sure you've got the cable plugged into the "Cable In" connector? Looking at the back of the box, it's the plug furthest to the left.

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

I feel like poo.

Tell me something nice, anything at all, about your week.

shrift is excused, as she is with the morlocks, now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I had free sushi at lunch

This weekend is going to be kickass, with lots of Buffistas and some rampaging.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I'm sorry you feel bad, doll.

I had a lovely dinner with M last night at one of our favorite places. They spoil us outrageously there - free glasses of wine, free "in-between" courses, etc. We started out with fresh foccacia, had an amuse-bouche of heirloom tomato soup, went to a fresh heirloom tomato salad that was dressed with julienned bell peppers and a bell pepper-champagne vinagrette. The "in-between" course was duck confit over gnocchi, and I swear, I could have cried when I tasted the duck. So good. Entrees were Alaskan halibut over hen-of-the-woods mushrooms for me, and a rib-eye steak as big as M's head for him. Wine was an Italian white, with M getting a Merlot-Cab Sauv. blend to go with the steak. Dessert was a fromage blanc tart with fresh berries.

I'm still kinda full.

I finally had my yearly review, and it went pretty well. I now get to budget how much money I can blow frivolously on corsets and tiny hats.

They weren't open when you were here, but when you come back? We are so getting stuffed there.
