Rumor now is that we'll know for sure by Monday if our department will continue to exist or not.
Meep. Fingers crossed!
You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
t shoves chocolate to Jessica and Jilli
So I just got back to my office a bit ago. Around 10:45 we got a call that my co-worker passed out at Mickey D's on his way to work. So I sat in the ER waiting for his family to get there for about 3 hours. Poor noodle. He has contusions on his face and is a little bit loopy. Yay DingDongs and Mountain Dew for lunchies!!
Dear Day,
Effing END already.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
So, open bar
Jessica ~ OK, I see your point now. It's a good analogy.
(Heh - and all the misunderstanding would be a part of the 'I'm having a bipolar day' thing. And then I remember why I think The Girl is verily an angel sent from on high. Or I would, were it not for the huge mess that is our flat. God's messengers are presumably cleaner than that.)
Mmmmmm. Chocolate.
ETA: Jessica, have the rest of my chocolate mousse. I hope very much that your dept is safe.
Edited again: Aims, chccolate for you too.
Did the universe have a big grudge against this day, generally?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And there's no reason mental illness should be treated any differently.
Yeah. The book Listening to Prozac really informed my opinion on this. Long-term depression and/or anxiety can cause physical damage to the brain. Anti-depressants can help the brain to function more normally despite this damage. It's... just not right to tell a depressed person to "just tough it out" or whatever when they're actually dealing with a damaged brain.

Oh hell, Jessica!

“Not dead yet!”

Judging by the fact that mine started with someone texting my husband at 1AM, being unable to get back to sleep, and continued on with the discovery of my daughter's fractured ankle, I'd say yes.
I've retreated to my jammies and bed and last night's ep of Glee in hopes that Nothing Else Will Happen.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Always Anti-fascist!
I'm still sort of disappointed I didn't go from isolated loser to cleavagey sex bomb like some of the women in LTP. All of a sudden, they really did have great personalities.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Right now I'm convinced the universe is having a bipolar day. On the one hand, I might not have a job on Monday. But on the other, I just got some very good news about my coop (board stuff I can't put in writing) that has lifted my spirits to no end.
And one of my co-workers brought in cookies, so I think I shall now drown my sorrows / celebrate with some chocolate.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love Facebook! And my little brother!
I posted a link to the Manga Guide to Molecular Biology that tommyrot linked to yesterday and said, "Someone please buy me this book. Come on, you know you missed my birthday."
An hour or so later, I get a message from my little brother:
Someone please
receive this book that I just ordered you plus a surprise filler - I am not cool enough for Prime. I wouldn't have said anything because I like Surprises but I know how popular you are, and I don't want you to end up with like thirty copies of this book.
