Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's the original end date for your contract, Jesse?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I no longer want to eat what I brought for lunch. I want a salad.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

he seems to be asking you to do his admin stuff, which pings me becuase the female PMs seem expected to do more of that here than the males.

That's totally true. Women, regardless of their role, are expected to take on administrative tasks. I loved that moment in Mad Men when Roger said "Peggy, can you get me some coffee?" and she simply replied "No."

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

Yeah, I'm setting up another meeting for him right now. At least this one I am sure he'll attend, because the boss is going to be at it. Maybe I should schedule it for 8am...

And I had to remind him to cancel a meeting for today. I don't want his position, even though I interviewed for it. I just don't see how he's coping with it properly.

I'm having chili for lunch, and it's a little spicy to eat by itself. I'll need to remember to get Fritos before I eat the rest!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I've been running my bedroom humidifier all winter, and it's definitely helped with the chronic sore throat, but it's still deeply weird to be voluntarily adding water to the atmosphere. The kettle on the fireplace doesn't seem to do anything, however. Which is kind of good, I guess, in a less heat-loss out of the top, more heat coming out the front where it will warm me up kind of way.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ooh, chili. Maybe I'll go to Hale & Hearty today.

Yeah, I'm pretty careful not to take on stuff like travel arrangements that have nothing to do with my role. I see some of my junior team members jumping on that stuff trying to be uber helpful and I cringe. It's not an easy habit to break someone of and it creates expectations that are even harder to shake.

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