Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That Gulabi Gang kind of makes me feel the way I do when I read about how girls are catching up with boys in represenation in the juvenile justice system here. It's like... yay equality?

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 have to take off work and stand in line at the Hollywood Office to pay a city tax/fine for something that I had no idea existed, and apply for an exemption for the same tax I had no idea existed. I need to register with the city as a Creative Artist.
I feel totally swindled. If I had known, I would have taken care of it because I'm responsible like that. But how the hell would I have known?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My husband has trained his coworkers well enough that they're starting to ask him about these stupid political e-mails before they forward them to everyone. Then my husband sends them a Snopes link to explain that no, Obama is not a SEKRIT MUSLIM OMG.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Another lady predicted that he would get elected and then assasinated, because "they wouldn't let a black man be president". Which, after I thought about it, didn't seem all that unlikely.
Every black person I've spoken with about Obama firmly believes this. Most of the women say that he shouldn't be running at all because he'll be leaving his little girls without a father as soon as he's inaugurated.

That sucks Allyson. I was audited by NYS for 4 out of the last 5 years (amounting to $$$) for mistakingly exempting my father's retirement money that, according to their instructions, I could exempt. They waited almost the full five years to do the audit so I did it "wrong" every year after the first time. And it did not make me feel better when they clarifiedchanged the instructions following my first audit.

I'm thinking about destroying the universe. I don't know which department is responsible for today's free lunch, but they'd better announce it soon and provide food that isn't gross, otherwise blame for not averting the apocalypse on their heads be it.

I like my stuff, too, but there's only so much rampant stupidity I can take before I start thinking about the purity of SETTING EVERYONE ON FIRE.
