We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, msbelle, that seriously sucks. I'm forever doing frantic calculations on the last day of enrollment periods. It's so easy to let them go by.

Well, crap. Now I want to visit one of our many fine dining establishments, and I don't really have the money right now. Curses.

I'm sorry, msbelle. I don't even want to think about how much money I've wasted by my perpetually late ways.

I hate writing about myself. I can't seem to come up with anything that says, "She can write anything. Really. Also, she understands that new-fangled web stuff."

I hope it isn't negative if the new agency makes it through the Senate. I think that's the big hang-up for conservative Dems though so it seems like a potential cut. I don't know enough about it to know if that would be a plus or minus for citizens in general.

I have a question for uses of GPS navigation systems. If one were to say not have a working speedometer, could the speed display on the GPS work well enough to know one's speed.

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

Yes.

I believe there'd be a time lag before you get accurate speed info. A few seconds?

eta: Wait, didn't we talk about this before?

I think it came up before, but my speedo may be taking more time off now that it did earlier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The best advice I got from the overpriced coach I hired to help me with my resume was not to worry about sounding over-the-top. You're an expert, you excell, whatever.

God dammit. I waited to order something for xmas because certain family members couldn't commit to a plan to save their lives (still haven't, I've just decided to move on with them) and now it's sold out.

I'm going to be lucky if I get through this week without punching somebody in the face.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ugh, msbelle. That sucks.

We have a Newer Guy today. I'm not sure he's going to take the New Guy title from New Guy, though.

Ginger, I feel that 30 years of experience puts someone at a good senior experience age, but I'm not sure how HR and employers do the math. I think there's a conflicting desire to have young experienced staff.

Ginger, I would definitely say more than 20, if not the full 30. I think 15 undercuts your expertise too much.
