All:
I need a fucking vacation. Also? I need to be able to sit down for several hours and think without bullshit.
How can I make this happen?
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ita, who are you facing? Why do you guys need to dress up? I thought your customers were internal.

I need to be able to sit down for several hours and think without bullshit.

Get stuck in an elevator? Hide in the stairwell? Drive to an industrial park or other unlikely destination at lunch and then call in with car trouble?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
le nubian, I have a spare bedroom in a quiet neighborhood! You could hide here. No one will ever find you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sometimes when we have prospective "people" in from the field, bon, we dress up to impress them.
I have *no* idea why IT should dress up in this dog and pony show, since the guy in charge of all this is pretty convinced the outsiders never come to our floor. Said so to our faces a couple weeks ago. But the CIO says jump, we say "which tie?"
there are a ton of things I think look silly on me
There are very few things I care will look silly on me in particular, that I therefore avoid. There are things I think look silly in general, and no one should wear, and things I don't trust myself to be able to coordinate on my own, so I don't leave myself up to my own devices.

Working from home (went in to work, had to come meet the contractor, decided to stay home.) Cats are convinced I should be napping, not working.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I recently transitioned to a "Fuck you! I want a hat!" and even my sister's public denigration ain't gonna make me feel bad about it.

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 have been living under a rock and knew absolutely nothing at all about the Hunger Games. Zero.
I love dystopian stories, and I hear this is one, so I think I shall read it. Is there any sort of general Buffistas consensus on the quality of the stories? Are they broccoli books, broccoli with cheese sauce books, or cheetos?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Uh, broccoli with cheese? Heavy on the cheese. And salty, salty tears.
Protip: Make sure you have the third book on hand when you start reading the second one.
