Polgara! I almost called you this weekend to see if you wanted to hang out.
Hey, chica! S'ok, I had a fairly busy weekend anyway, where "busy" is defined as "too much shopping."
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay, Cubs won! They were down 7-6 at the 7th-inning stretch,
Obviously, my stopping watching them caused them to suck, but only for five innings....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Wow, Typo, that's appalling. What were these people, raised by wolves who finally threw their paws up in the air and walked away snarling, "I give up"?
Now you know why I love it when Dr. House is so rude.
But, but, how will you people ever educate us and make us better, nobler humans if you're not all sweet and magical? Because that's totally your job.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thankfully all I got was teased when I spent a few months on a cane. Which is good, because I was about to snap the whole time.

My coworker just sent me The YES Dance to cheer me up [link]
Not safe for any workplace that isn't mine.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Yay! I got a small raise, a possible bonus, and promised a promotion by the end of the year. I guess no one else notices how much time I spend screwing around.

Congrats, Tamara! It must be productive screwing around.

Congrats Tamara. And Erika - yeah that is what I was wondering: so you have to go through this shit all the time? Usually I think of myself as unshockable. But freakin grown people go out of their way to be rude to people with disabilities? I mean I expected to magically turn invisible to a lot people, but actual remarks? That surprised me.

It is geeky screwing around and that does help to inform my job, so maybe it is productive if you look at it right. And squint.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oh, how strange. Here it's in pretty much every supermarket, in little paper bags, like baking powder.
Hee. Baking powder doesn't come in little paper bags here, either. It comes in cardboard canisters, usually. I had to make some notes in my grandmothers cookbook about how much baking powder is in "1 baking powder" or how much vanilla sugar is in "1 vanilla sugar."
