Amy, I have seven ear piercings, so whatever, showoff.
This just indicates poor impulse control.
Either that or you had a vicious street fight with the evil villainess, The Bedazzler.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Kathy, that's awful. I'm glad you escaped, but what an altogether shitty way for everyone to start the day before the weekend.
I've been reading Ta-Nehisi Coates this morning and thanking all the divinities that ever or never were that I didn't watch the GOP debate last night, because my head would surely have exploded.

JZ, I picked it up from my twitter feed. The whole thing sounds really sick.

Happy birthday, Emmett!
I only have my ears pierced, one hole per ear. My sister and I were both talking about maybe getting a tattoo--I'll have to think about that. If I do, it'll be after I have my plastic surgery, so not for several years yet.
I was talking to one of the layoffees, my cubicle neighbor and manager of another group in the library. She knew a lot about me and my attitude towards potential layoffs, and knew that I was in a "take it or leave it" mindset. I would have been all right with being laid off, that way I could go back to school full time and get my MLS in two semesters instead of two more years. However, with my new car and my England trip plans for next summer, I'm rather glad I didn't get laid off just yet! So, she was telling me that the managers had all been told a few weeks ago that layoffs were coming up, and to let TPTB know who should be kept on. Apparently, my boss told the higher ups to keep me over my two coworkers, which flabbergasts me!
I think that the majority of it might be that my two coworkers were at a higher rank than me, and my new job will be more at the level I'm doing now, which is a bit lower than theirs were. It's not much, but it's still employment, and at the same pay. So, being low woman on the totem pole worked this time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, Kathy! I'm glad you were spared, but yikes!
This.
I think I had nine ear piercings, once upon a time, but wear zero earrings now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oy Kathy! But I'm glad to hear you've still got a job.
Today is Wear Bodily Fluids day. Okay, it's not. It's Clutch Your Pearls day.
Hmm, I can better fulfill the first than the last. Oh dear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This just indicates poor impulse control.
It indicates pleasing my damned self, which is pretty key.

I prefer to think of you fighting The Bedazzler.

Kathy, hope you land in a good workplace.
