Lots of job~ma Amy!
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I don't want to resign, but I might, because I don't want to be around crazy people.
She really is sadly deluded if she thinks there are workplaces without crazy people.
I had a night city editor who kept a bottle in his desk. He never offered me any, partly because things like women in the newsroom were why he drank.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Last year, my mom wrote an email that said something like "my one regret is not raising my daughter to listen to differing views in a fair and balanced manner." She wrote that email to my DH. And then followed with a list of other ways in which I'm disappointing to her.
Ha! I'm sorry, but I have to say, "Fuck you, Sox's mom! Sox is awesome."
Sorry, Sox. She had it coming.

I would like to applaud Sox for managing to be a much better person than the one her mother wanted her to be.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I've been crazy busy so I know I must have missed a ton of stuff. And I'm about to dive back into grading and office hours, but I am just weighing in on the parenting: My mom was a wonderful mother. When I was a child, I thought she was the Platonic ideal of motherliness.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just got called out as a project manager on a friend's facebook page.
It seems diagramming your friend's relationship/family status is a dead giveaway.

not your mom's socks.
Thanks guys, we're trying really hard not to lose it, and, you know, to stay supportive.
Vortex, your patience and humor are something I've admired and tried to copy. I stink at it, but I'm still trying.
Go Burrell's mom!
eta: I have to say that Danger Days is a really good soundtrack to play off against the current lifetrack.

George Will got an *engraved invitation* for the crazy train. But he's still on it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In the end I don't mind who my parents made me. Tough shit if they want to switch it up and be more conventional now, though. That ship done sailed.
Good god, I hate timesheets. And I really hate retroactive timesheets. And I can't remember what Friday it was I worked half a day, dammit. My record keeping sucks.
