Two people were shot this afternoon on my street, at a place I walk past every day. I was hoping the recent drugs bust would put a dent in all the shootings, but apparently not.
I probably should think about moving.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Eep.
Move to my neighborhood! I need more people around me. And your commute would be shorter.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
One thing I've learned in working in a regulated industry for 20+ years is that some of the people working in them damn well need to be regulated by something.
Fucking word.

Oh, sad.
shrift, stay safe!
amych, what amyth said. We're here for drinks or networking or whatever.
I go for bourbon or white wine, personally.
There was more but I forgot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I hate having to constantly adjust my radiators to get consistant heat.
Also, my apartment is now 79 degrees.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yikes, shrift.
Please, think about moving! We're all filled with a selfish desire to keep your spicy brains alive and vigorous.
Maybe schedule Craigslist-combing for the next Onerous Task Day? Hell, I'm sure any number of us here would be willing to do it for you; we want you 100% safe and unshot.

Oh, be careful, Shrift!
I'm now at the stage with the job transition where I can't schedule meetings because I don't know if I'll be here after February 3rd. And then the people I'm talking to demand an explanation and I have to tell them and it's just embarrassing. Well, embarrassing for my employer, anyway, because it makes them look like idiots, not me.
I also just discovered that two books Amazon hasn't delivered were, in fact, delivered--by UPS on the same day that my cellphone was stolen off the front step. ::facepalm:: I kind of doubt I'll ever get that money back.

Stay safe Shrift! Also, Universe, keep Shrift safe!
oi Consuela.
Ok, so it looks like my UPS person has decided that delivering to my front door is just too hard and is now putting everything on my side porch, which is closer to the gate, but problematic. I don't see the packages and he no longer knocks. This is an issue because I don't necessarily look at the porch for packages, it's a pain to get them inside from there, AND you can see them from the street, which you can't from my door. I looked all over their website for a "are we delivering oddly?" customer service link. Cannot find one. Mostly I want to know why I have a lazier person than the nice smiley UPS guy that I liked.
