It was a 3.5 off the coast of Santa Monica. I doubt there were any injuries.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
So you're all shook up? t /Elvis

Not enough coffee in the world, so:
I, Shir Lastname, hereby vow that I will get to bed before 23:30pm today.
(one more important email to write to a lecturer which will require an hour's research, and then I'm gone. But I'd really, really, really like to sleep now).

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Slept thru that earthquake. Shocking.
Shir, I hope you got some sleep.
Ion, I am extra filled with gronk.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It sucks when you realize that even though you love your workplace and all of the people you work with but are totally pants at your actual job. And not the job specifically, but any job that requires you to be chained to a desk.
My name is Aimee and I am total pants at desk jobs..
Nice thing to realize TWENTY YEARS into your working life.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm with you, Aims. Even though I'm not currently chained to a desk.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
At least I am in school to not have a desk job. I'm thankful as hell for that.
BUT! Things I am good at: My Girl Scout troop! I wrote letters yesterday to various governmental people asking for flags and my State Rep emailed me back today - my Michigan flag will be in the mail tomorrow!!!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I hate being chained to a desk. I was miserable working in an office. Telecommuting has saved my sanity. Now I work from my living room couch, with the tv on or the windows open and the cats hanging out in my space.
There's no subsidized cafeteria, though. No free lunch, indeed.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I have no problem what so ever being chained to a desk, as long as the work doesn't require too much F2F/phone contact with other human beings.
In other words, anything but customer service, please.

it's one of those high-estrogen days. I can tell, because I am filled with RAGE. Or ANNOYANCE, anyway. Rage that can't be arsed to yell.
