Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OH GOOD LORD. I have to have a meeting with two VPs in a minute about an issue that only exists because of five people having various two-way conversations instead of us having this meeting in the first place. I wish my hair looked better, and I felt less cracked out.

And then it's the org-wide spelling bee, which I made us enter.

At least I finished one unrelated thing off my to-do list just now.

Thrive to spite them

I need to stop arguing in the comments section of a blog about socialized medicine and how people will stop working if America gets socialized medicine.

I asked for proof and this is two examples of the proof he gave me:

Put a bird feeder in your backyard. See if any birds come for the free food. See if more keep coming.

and

People win the lottery and quit their jobs because everything is then free

I would totally quit my job if I didn't need it for the insurance! I'll pay my rent in Band-Aids! FREE SOCIALIST BAND-AIDS.

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

It's always so sad when a vet fixes a wild bird's broken wing, and then when released, the bird refuses to look for its own food but instead hangs out at the vet office for more wing-fixing.

Coding and Sleeping

I need to stop arguing in the comments section of a blog about socialized medicine and how people will stop working if America gets socialized medicine.

Look at what happened in Japan, nobody does any work there. That's why my Honda had to be made in Canada.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

askye just made my head explode.

One, no one has ever proposed socialized medicine in this country, only single payer.

Under the bird analogy, people would go to the doctor all the time, not stop working. Also, they would scatter millet seeds and sunflower hulls everywhere.

Re the lottery analogy: how does his brain even make human speech?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think I need Jesse's jujitsu to get people to do what I want. Instead I just used ALL CAPS in an email. I am trying to rid myself of the desire to be RIGHT, rather than getting what I want, but it is very hard. Also, since this is the theatre, and some involved are students, I also need them to know that had they handled things differently, there would not be a problem.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Put a bird feeder in your backyard. See if any birds come for the free food. See if more keep coming.

Yes! Because every time I go to the doctor, I refuse to leave until she's gotten the insurance company to also pay my rent and buy me lunch. OBVIOUSLY.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
