Shit's all sorts of different now.
Actual part of an announcement email sent at work "While we know we have a few experienced drinkers around here" and to that, I raise my pineapple rum.
I raise my beer. The beer I have IN MY HAND AT MY DESK RIGHT NOW. For the second Friday in a row.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Oh, fuck you.
I have pizza and ibuprofen. Let's trade.

Hooray beer!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Susan, you are totally allowed to cut out on some of the kid stuff, without flagellating yourself for being a bad mommy. Sometimes DH has to work while I take the kids to a birthday party or a playdate, sometimes I'm the one who stays home and works while DH takes the kids to his mother's or to the park.

Don't forget Mar-SAILS (for Marseilles).
You have a Marseilles? Indiana has a Versailles! Pronounced to rhyme with yours.

Punishingly Intricate
Don't forget Mar-SAILS (for Marseilles). And of course, there's the street name mangling (Goethe isn't "GER-ta", it's "GO-thee").
I know I've mentioned before that I work on Thames pronounced Thaymes (with the dipthong).

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm trying to figure out how soon I can get out of here without anyone noticing. It's really f'ing beautiful outside, and I need to be home to make gumbo for tomorrow.
juliana, I'll mention that to him when I bring it up too!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG you guys, I have gotten so much done today, but yet? Not everything. Bah! I'm still supposed to call some lady I don't like (even calling her "lady" is an overstatement -- she should get "girl") and I just don't want to.
