Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Hairpats. I cope with feeling like a disaster with the knowledge that, for all I might be a disaster, at least I wear my underwear under my clothes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

JZ, someone gave me this whole rubric about doing a new job that was enormously helpful when I was having job freak-outs. I can't quite remember it, but it's basically about knowledge vs. competence. I'm willing to bet you've just gotten to the part where you know exactly how much you don't know yet -- because there's no way you could know it all yet -- and that's the freak-out point.

In short, the objective fact is that you're not an expert at this job yet, but that's really OK.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Our wings are not tired.

and I'm pretty sure Matilda isn't even in the top 1,000

I bet it's in the top 10 in Australia, though. ETA: nope, it's only 26.

JZ, you'll be fine. I felt the same way for the first 6 months in my current job. And I've only been there for 7 months!

Sir Edmund Hillary is dead

I didn't realize he was still alive.

I didn't realize he was still alive.

Me neither.

Actually, I though I heard he died years ago. Guess not....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I thought I heard he died a while ago, too.

I didn't know he was a beekeeper, either. How cool is that?

You know, I think it was that I heard he did something and I was surprised he was still alive in the last year or so. And here I am still surprised that he was recently alive, because my memory is shoddy.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I'm home and I'm tired!

Sometimes these long days just get ridiculous.
