Well, I sent off the email telling the project manager I won't be in tomorrow (WFH until 10:30). The most unprofessional thing I have ever done, right there, because I had a brainfart.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I want soda bread. Not enough to go out and get it, but still.
I often wear green, but I didn't today. The only people I noticed clearly acknowledging St. Pats were touristy types downtown.
I am on day 9 of this cold/flu/plague. I'm improving, but the cough isn't quite gone enough for me to sit through previews with an audience.

Eh, it happens to us all at some point. I had to bail on a meeting tomorrow because a cleaning appt got re-re-rescheduled (I've lost track, stupid snow) and while I thought it was a safe day, it wasn't.
It's not unprofessional. Unprofessional is not showing up for no good reason and not warning. So if that's the worst you've done? Not bad. eta: Compare yourself to NewfuckingGuy. You're responsible.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ugh. Hate it when things like that happen.

Because books.
I have homemade soda bread toasting right now! NOM.
The most unprofessional thing I've ever done was call in to a job to quit, same day. I was only seventeen, though, and I hated my boss like burning.

“Not dead yet!”
Aw, I'm watching my Marlins for the first time this year on TV. Just a Spring Training game and yeah, I'm seeing guys I won't see the rest of the season, but still-- baseball!
Which reminds me, I need to buy some Mariners tickets for when my in-laws are in town.

Someone I went to high school with just posted on facebook that she's DRINKING GREEN BEER AND IT'S AWESOME! I keep thinking, "You are 37. Green beer? You are drinking green beer?!?! YOU ARE 37!!"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Heh, Suzi, that's awesome. Bless CJ's heart. If you don't frame it, definitely treasure it and put it in a safe place for some future date.
I have a friend from college whose sibs have been tenderly holding in secret reserve for several decades an official statement (notarized by the rest of the family) signed by the youngest sib at the age of five announcing that he loves the Dukes of Hazzard, he knows enough to know it is the BEST SHOW EVER, and he will bet $1,000,000 that you can ask him anytime in his whole life ever, even when he is thirty or some other very old age, and it will always, always be his favorite show because it is just the BEST SHOW EVER. He was so horrified that his family could even think he might someday love it less, he was willing to stake all his future reputation (and earnings) on it.
