It's from the tech guy at Salon. I have no idea what he might do with responses.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, now I have "I Tumble For You" in my head.

Looks real, and I know at least other 3 sites with a similar concept.
I'm going to join an organization I don't really like just because they give really good discounts for students. I wanted to believe I had higher values than that. Now I feel commercialized and dirty. And mostly tired.

So I did put in my eternal search and got this reply:
Sit back and relax.I'm Googling "black/brown spectator pumps" for you. I'll send you an e-mail when I'm done with your search. There are 433 people ahead of you in the queue, and what's worse, I'm away at the moment; be back soon. If you're getting impatient, reload this page to see your place in the queue.

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

Is it the SFPBA (Student/Faculty Puppy-Beaters Association)?

OK, that's hilarious. But not real, right? I'm scared to put anything in there.
Not real, when you do type something in you get (whitefonted) an answer that says you're #[in the hundreds] in the queue, and that he's away on vacation so you'll just have to wait, but you can keep hitting refresh to see if you've moved up the queue.
eta: xposty with Jesse!

Finding out you are leading a meeting 5 minutes before it starts (and 5 minutes after walking into the office) and having to edit ppt slides and google calendars when you are fairly unfamiliar with both? Not.Fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh, sara. I've had that call about a meeting come in while I'm on my way to work, and somehow my "What prep work do I need to do?" question is seen as surprising.
Mmm. I do have to say this brown rice cereal with soy milk is very tasty. It's more palatable than my tea. I want a second bowl of cereal, but I'm scared to taste the hemp milk.

It is a good thing that nobody tried to pull an April Fool's joke on me this morning as I was on the way to the office, because I might have tried to claw someone's face off and not realized what I had done until I got to my cube, drank some coffee, and discovered blood under my fingernails.
