Punishingly Intricate

The only explanation for this is that snow makes Baltimorons even stupider: [link]

Dag! It was a really easy drive down 83 this morning just before 9. Am SO SO glad I'm not commuting to Howard Co anymore!!!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Is Jamie Bell pretty enough for what you're thinking, Susan?

Close. Maybe a little too strong-featured.

But I'm good, really I am--I've got plenty to work with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have worked here for a year and a half. (Maybe exactly that today? Huh.) Anyway, WHY OH WHY do people not know how to spell my name?!? My boss spelled my last name wrong in an email to someone Outside, and another coworker just spelled my first name wrong in an email!

No wonder I'm cranky. I'd better have a right-hand cookie.

not your mom's socks.

Which they probably wear as a hat.

oh, and beer. for waiting for the plows to come through.

Our neighborhood almost voted for secession because of the plowing problem two years back. we were going to blockade using water taxis.

t /homesick.

though my former busdriver DH has never spent a full winter in the north so this should be at least amusing. he has my car today.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

My boss spelled my last name wrong in an email to someone Outside, and another coworker just spelled my first name wrong in an email!

Your last name is, like, phonetic, right?

I'm having really, really shitty day today. I just keep telling myself, bonus in two weeks... bonus in two weeks..., hoping that it will keep the jackholes and the douchebags at bay.

I just spent the last hour at my desk writing a blog entry. Is that what it's like to have a desk job that has few responsibilities? Cause if so, I totally missed that aspect of employment when I was in the classroom.

I laugh at the folks who are in the mid-atlantic with their storm fright. But I don't laugh too loudly as LA folks are morons in the rain and it looks like we have a big storm coming tomorrow or friday.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

(Though not enough to drive out Bernadette from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.)

The day anything does this will be the day when there is no chocolate left in the whole universe.

(P.S.: Have similar problems with that Elrond character, to greatly amusing effect.)

Yeah. I'm pretty sure she says it wrong, too, but she hardly ever says it in situations where I could correct her.

Oh! AND! Just recently I was saying how my grandfather said it without the second R, and it turns out most people spell it that way, too. So I said it out loud several times. She leaves out the first R.
