Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG I want to stab someone. And/or go to sleep. Interviewing really wipes me out.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

OMG I want to stab someone. And/or go to sleep.

Go for the two-for-one. Stab someone and then go to sleep.

Or, you know, stab someone IN your sleep.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Just had my review--not too bad! Got the raise that everyone else is getting, and my rating was just above "meets expectations," which is a 3; boss said if she had the option, she'd give me a 3 1/2.

Stab someone and then go to sleep.

That would be so satisfying! But no. I will continue working on my stupid documents that I hate.

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

I am not good with the Simpsons quotes. Very out of the loop. But I do understand they will be getting a WGA award this period.

stab someone IN your sleep

Those are my dreams. Or you could have one of the Winchester brothers do it--also works for my dreams.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aims, I think, said she thought I'd just been spelling dreamt wrong the whole time. ::sniff::

It was, indeed, me who thought that. However, I have since embraced my Queen's English and even use practice/practise and say things like "bloody" and "que" and "Bugger this for a game of bananas." I blame the daily interaction with my co-worker Jude who is from West London.

Umm, "queue", right?

I've never heard game of bananas. Game of soldiers, not that I know what it means literally.

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 this the thread where we discuss women who didn't know they were pregnant?

Chile weightlifter has unexpected baby during training

Chilean Olympic weightlifter Elizabeth Poblete has given birth to a baby boy during a training session, without having known she was pregnant.

Ms Poblete, 22, who lives in Brazil, said she had felt unwell but had had no idea she was expecting a baby.

The boy was three months premature and was taken to hospital with his mother, where he remains in intensive care.

...

Ms Poblete began to feel unwell during training on 8 December, as she was preparing to take part in a competition.

Shortly after, she gave birth to a baby weighing only 1.2kg (2.25lbs) and measuring about 34cm (14 inches).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"que"

Do you mean queue? (eta: Geez, I post slow.)

I'd really like to take a nap, but I should go shopping now while I have some time.
