Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Jilli, that's wonderful. Now ... come here and squee and flail to get it out of your system, then do the interview as an imitation adult.

Awesome news, Jilli!

Art Crawl!!!
Kickstarter just sent me a newsletter that included this project to make a real card game out of something fictional.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That's terrific, Jilli! Also, your mention of The Damned the other day sent me poking around YouTube to hear some of their stuff. I found a song that I'd been trying to remember for for months (without remembering the name, artist, or enough lyrics to be useful with Google--Sanctum Sanctorum). So now I can move on and start wondering about other half-remembered college-era stuff. Thanks!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have realized what having a "thick skin" and also being "seasoned" mean at work. When someone says some dumb-ass stuff in a meeting, I know in my heart that she can fuck off because she's wrong. I don't worry about it at all. Unlike my poor coworker who takes everything 100% personally and gets super upset. I swear to god, once in my working life have I been as upset in the office (about work) as she is at least weekly. It's so weird.

Hah! This is so core to all the drama in my office this past year. I swear to god I'm the only person in my entire department who has never a) complained (in the official or quasi-official sense) about a coworker or b) been complained about. It's fucking ridiculous, is what it is.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I get overly emotional at work often enough that my performance reviews often contain the phrase, "she wears her heart on her sleeve."
And then I go Ani DiFranco and think, "no, it's underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So the power is off here on our block in Highland Park again. This time I just went to the library--my boss will text me when the power is back.
Also, the bank across the street from us got robbed this morning. Pretty boring from our perspective--just a lot of cops milling about, and "Police Line" yellow tape in front of the doors. (The robber fled earlier on foot. We didn't notice.)
