A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Theresa, that is of the suck.

I hope JZ is ok and her work sitch is not too traumatizing.

I need help for lamb chops. As in, how to prepare them.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I need help for lamb chops.

Oh, I can help with those! nom nom nom

As in, how to prepare them.

Oh! Yeah, not in that way.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am sorry, Theresa! If you had put in for FMLA already, though, I think it may be illegal for them to lay you off now.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I am sorry, Theresa! If you had put in for FMLA already, though, I think it may be illegal for them to lay you off now.

I thought that too, but then I realized they offered me a different position with the company at a significant reduced salary (although I think legally it would qualify as comparable) so they have a loop hole. No one expects me to take it, but I think that is why it was offered. Bastards.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I hope JZ is ok and her work sitch is not too traumatizing.

She's okay. Mostly they said, "We noticed you're crying at your desk a lot and its affecting your work. Go see a counselor."

Good luck, Theresa. I hope we're at the tail end of the Great Recession.

I keep thinking of the children's book The Tough Winter (a sequel to Rabbit Hill, just mentioned here today). Though I guess the Little House book The Long Winter would be a better known example of the theme.

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

Weasels in bastard sauce! That bites, Theresa.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sending relax ~ma and don't let this make you anxious ~ma, Theresa. Rotten bastards. I'm sorry.

Are you willing to put that in writing and indemnify me and all future owners of this property for all current and subsequent repairs?

Dang, Sparky! writes that down

Fucking Facebook (isn't that its offcial name now?) is trying to find pages to link my profile to. Pages named But I'm Picky About It, No Screeching, and No Emo Crap. I'm tempted to go make those pages so they can link me to myself.

F. Facebook has put photos of me in my Photo Album that it ganked from a friend's page. I don't want them there; they are hideous. But I can't figure out how to get rid of them. In fact, I can't figure out how to edit anything in my profile at all. Fuck this. I ought to delete the whole account. Give me one reason not to delete the whole account.
