... still processing all of it.
and not sleeping btw. it's going to be a swell day tomorrow. filled with happy and light.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Will I live up to expectations? Will I be able to do this job they are putting together for me?
Yes, and yes. Because you just rock THAT HARD.
Thanks for the wishes, guys. Any ~ma not being directed to Daniel's sister or Kenya, if you want to send it Connecticut-ward to my dad, that would be great. He's totally and completely heart-broke.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm starting to wonder if this is political grandstanding on part of my councilwoman.
You can stop wondering.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I might have just lost my temper and called a soon-to-be former tenant a whore.
Ooops.

Fuck. Now I'm really angry at myself. The fact that she was swearing and screaming at me shouldn't play in. I'm supposed to be better than that. But I have been going to bat for this girl for MONTHS. She owes $3500 in back rent, didn't bother to show up for court today, her 15 year old has been breaking into apartments and stealing, and ... all of that doesn't matter. I lost my temper and I shouldn't have. I should have been better than that.
I think I really need out of this job.

Or you might have just told the truth.
It's budget season here at the library, and I don't completely understand how people get raises here. And I need to understand so I can address an equity issue I see looming on the horizon.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
Daniel, much ~ma for your sister. That must have been scary beyond belief.
Fay, since ~ma is infinite, I offer you even more ~ma for your Kenyan friends. The brother is definitely one hell of a good bloke.
Suzi, you rock! You will knock the new boss dead, they wouldn't have offered you the job if they didn't think so.
Aimee, having been there done that, I have nothing to offer except sympathy. I don't know if it's too late to offer an apology, especially since some folks just can't (or refuse) to accept an apology, but you can try. Good luck.

I was gonna go the route of, "I didn't say 'whore'! I said 'bore'!"

I'm finally heading to bed. Even for me this is a messed up schedule to be keeping.
