Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
People are a mess. I just had a one-hour meeting turn into a 1.5 hour meeting and when another coworker asked me what it had been about, I said, "How everything and everyone is fucked up?" Good times.

Christ, Le Nubian. If you did not have to worry about fallout, we both know what you would do. How to handle it without hurting innocent third parties (deliberate vagueness here) I have no advice except I know you will figure out what your best option is here. At the very least you can tell innocent third party that you know how terrible it is. Maybe you and innocent third party can figure out risk/reward ratio together. Because maybe innocent third party would prefer to take some risk to bring the truth about this asshole into the open.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It should be fixed now.
Manager told me to go home, so am now finishing up the work day working from home. Will try again going in tomorrow. It's the last day onshore of my favourite colleague, and I missed the after-hours sendoff, so I'd really like to be there for his lunch. But, damn, does everything just hurt more there or what?

Let's hope y'all don't hear about this in a few months via an investigation from the Office of Civil Rights!

It's amazing how often someone who doesn't like you gets angry that you want to leave.

When you see a pregnant woman whose belly is a nigh-perfect sphere, it's an almost sure bet that the baby is swimming in a veritable ocean of amniotic fluid.
In the best situation, yes. Lots of cushioning is good.
I just got back from going to Old Navy (clothing stores should not smell like rubber and plastic!) and Barnes and Noble. Also, today I have gone to Walmart to return a gift from my mom, gone to Ross to return a gift from a friend, gotten a pedicure, ruined a pedicure, gotten my eyebrows done, and gone to ON and BN.
TIRED.

Dunno what the drama is, le nubian, but good luck. Sounds like it's something involving discretion and outcomes and general SUCKFEST.
Garage door guy came. He is fixing door.
OK, question: the lowest panel of the door is dented by the roommate's car running into it. She said she'd pay to fix. Guy is currently fixing the actual functioning of the door (a spring busted loose and some screws were bent). That should be fairly cheap ($100 or so). He's going to get an estimate for replacing the bent panel. It's not a HUGE dent, but it is a clearly visible one, and I don't want to someday be selling the house all "Oh, we need you to fix that so it's pretty for buyers!" and she's long gone. But at the same time, I know if *I* were paying for all this, I'd probably say "eh, not that big a dent, NBD". What to do? (I'm sure it will also depend on how much the estimate is)
