My whole office is coughing and sneezing and snorgling, so we're all equally feeling herbicidal. Which is jolly.
Is it just me, or is it extra bad this year? And it just doesn't go away. It just keeps going on and on and on.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Oh, the trees are just fucking gorgeous here. But if they think that's going to keep me from hating them, they're out of their tiny little tree minds.
ah-CHOO

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I don't know about your neck of the woods, but Cincinnati never got a cold snap in March/April, which we usually do. That cold snap puts the hammer down on *some* of the early blooming stuff, which mitigates the pollen to some degree.
But since nothing got frozen to death this year, everything bloomed, which I find really presumptuous and pushy on the part of the plant world, damn it.

I don't think this is a particularly blooming time of year here, but we have wildfires instead. Open up the door and get hit with steam-bath levels of heat/humidity and the stench of burning everglades. Ah yuck.
Buffista island will have lovely flowers only pollinated by honey bees.

I watched Maxed Out last week and was thinking about those people who killed themselves after getting into serious credit card debt. We all know that's not the measure of your worth as a human being, but god it's hard to believe sometimes, isn't it? Which is to say, Aims, I totally feel you, but the conscious brain is the right one this time. It's HIS bad, not yours.

It feels extra bad.

Oh Aimee! That sucks hardcore. What a douche. I hope his business fizzles and burns without you.
I had breakfast with a friend I hadn't seen in a month. Yay. We had fun catching up. It's odd, how I already have some friends here I dont' see that often, but like catching up with. How did I get to this point? So weird!

Aimee, it's a damn good thing I don't have your ex-employer's address.

MASSIVE FAIL, MONDAY!This.
FUCK! Aims, I am so incredibly sorry. Your boss is indeed the High Priest of Douchnozzles. He is the douchiest nozzle of them all. His nozzle is so douchy that other douchnozzles turn away in disgust.
You will find something else, something better. Truly.
vw and other allergy sufferers have my deepest sympathy. My allergies have gotten a lot better since I moved to SoCal, but I still have been pretty sneezy this week. It's a bad year.
Emily, go you with the etymology lesson!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
like I have, once a fucking gain let my parents and family down.
no, you haven't sweetie. If you had let them down, you would have quit or not done a good job. Letting your family down would have been not being with you sister when she needed you and not standing up to your douchehole boss. Letting the family down would have been giving into the impulse to smack the shit out of him. Oh, wait, Joe would have given you a medal for that one, so that doesn't count.
