Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

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

Gah. 90 minute conference call between some technical people and some admin people and I felt like I was the only one who understood both sides. I tried to "translate" a couple of times, but neither side wanted to take a moment to listen. I swear we spent at least 30 minutes clarifying, reclarifying, re-reclarifying one simple idea.
And now we have at least 3 more conference calls set up to rehash most of the stuff we were trying to deal with today. Oh, joy. The most frustrating person on the call is a gal whose job is to train others. She caused the vast majority of the confusion.

I have to share this snippet from the GCS mailbag, which has me making the same faces and sounds I make at flaily kittens:
"my names october and im 12. ive been goth since i was 10 so im no baby bat all though its my nick name."
OH PRECIOUS. Yes, kiddo, you are a babybat, even if you have been Goth since you were ten (two years ago). I love my little gothlings.

Dear babybat:
I don't think the goth handbook says that apostrophes are optional.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Holy shit, I just watched a video of the stage collapse at the Indiana state fair. Ugh.
This is one hell of an image though. [link]

Well, this is great.
My conversation with my New Boss this morning? My Nemesis was eavesdropping on it--standing around the corner and pretending to read the paper.
She then went off and told another coworker that I was "on her list". To which the reply was, "She wasn't already?"
Fuckity. This woman is not beyond outright lying to get me in trouble. Now I wish I'd never had that conversation.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, fuck, Consuela. Maybe New Boss doesn't think too highly of people who hide and deliberately eavesdrop on private conversations.

Yeah. Unfortunately New Boss is out now, and I'm not sure he'll be back before I leave on vacation. Joy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, God. This is turning into a high-stakes corporate thriller. I hope the outcome is not grisly.

Oh, it's not high stakes at all, which I suspect is why it's so ugly. Isn't that what they say about academia as well? the battles are so vicious because the stakes are so low.
I can't believe someone would even say that: "She's on the list." Seriously?
