My boss lectured me about cancelling meetings at the last minute. Except he was the one that cancelled it at the last minute. I dunno.
Was he all, "Learn from my bad example" or "Do as I say, not as I do"? Or is he projecting?
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Or is he projecting?
It had a very tsk tsk tone to it. Sure, I was happy to cancel, except I had to do all the prep work anyway, and spent 20 minutes sitting in the meeting room to catch people who didn't get the notification.

My porn name would be Cindy Noon. Not very exciting. Or Bagdad 19th, which sounds more like a porn name from a weird dystopia.
My pseudonym (for when I write a best-selling YA novel and sell out to Hollywood) is Cecilia McMahon. You heard it here first! (It's my maternal grandmother's first name and my paternal grandmother's last name.)
ION, I just found out more information about the never-ending zombie hiring process. Turns out the previous Big Boss in charge of my division unilaterally changed my job title/series/description, without telling anyone (not even me). So when they tried to announce and rehire me, they couldn't because that position doesn't exist anymore.
t head-desk to infinity
So now they're looking at yet another temporary appointment, or hiring me for the short term through a contractor, which means all-new (different) benefits and shit like that.
I'm pretty much decided to leave early and start drinking.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That whole thing is like a masterclass in bad employee retention.

Sounds like an excellent plan. Are they going to announce and (re)hire for this phantom new position? (Obviously not soon enough).

Because books.
Consuela, who do you work for?! All I keep picturing is that commercial with monkeys overrunning an office.
My porn name sounds like it should be my soap opera name instead: Priscilla Coolidge.
If I could come up with my own porn name, I think it would have to be Angel Kake.

Porn name: Pepper Magnolia. Kinda has an Ellroy feeling, I guess.

If I had to come up with a porn name, I think I'd pick Studley Do-Right.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
If I had actually married a dude I was engaged to ages ago, I would have a porn star name, Heather Hunter.
