I bitched to my strongly partisan dog-person boss and she's been sending me meows via IM.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

One of my cats is returning to one of her kitten habits: Curling up with me near my face, then contentedly farting away.

Got an (expected) invitation to and old friend's wedding in Santa Cruz in May. I want to go! I just don't want to have to spend any money or deal with transcontinental air travel.
Also, I want a pony.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
My (really bad) student worker did not show up for work today. Last week was Spring Break, so she wasn't here, but the week before she called in twice and just didn't show up once.
Do you think if I just ignore it, she will just never show up again (which is what I would like!) She is only hired until the first week of May, so I don't really want to fire her if I don't have to.
I sort of want to email her and ask her if she would like to quit.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hmmm. Rumors currently running around are that the co-worker who was put on indefinite leave for looking at barebacking porn on the work computer (at a desk that patients walk past, no less) may actually be fired at some non-distant time. I'm sorely tempted to apply. It would be a biggish step up salary-wise, and I'm dead certain that there's not one thing he did on the job that I wouldn't be totally capable of doing. Except the porn.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
C'mon, JZ, I'm sure you're capable of looking at porn. Don't underestimate yourself!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, megan. And surprised, frankly.
I sort of want to email her and ask her if she would like to quit.
I think I like that, except that it might light a fire under her and get her just motivated to show up but not work any harder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
megan, I'm sorry to hear that.
Sophia, fire her ass. Sometimes you shouldn't be avoidant.
JZ, apply. Also, avoid porn at work.

Forgot to add, that BITES, megan. What the hell was that giant push for you and that job for the last couple of months (which, IIRC, started from their end) if that's the end of it?
I snarl and growl at their general lameitude.
And, randomly, there's a managing editor position that just posted today at the VA on Clement Street. Just in case you're pissed off enough at the lot of them to consider flouncing off to somewhere else.

Rumors around my workplace (other than the ones I already know about) are that people will be quitting in the next few weeks due to anger over the low bonuses.
