ita, he dressed in drag for Halloween (or something -- amyth knows, and sent me pretty pictures), so maybe real?

Laughing doesn't pay the bills! Nah, I'm all right.

I'm sorry! Is work really not going well?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sorry! Is work really not going well?

It's going fine! And literally at 4:30 someone I barely know was giving me kudos, which was so nice, but then at 4:40, my boss told me about a couple of promotions for other people which makes me feel like I'm not doing a great job, which is stupid because the promotions are basically unrelated to me, but more that I need to figure out what I really want to be doing, because I'm afraid it's not what my actual job currently is! In short, everything is fine, but bah.

Oh, I get that. Figuring it out ~ma!

Shop.

Why must you crush my dreams?

I could send you a hundred emails right now, if you want me to help foster some dreams.

Well, I don't want to be greedy. I could take ... five? (To start.)

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

Am at the Amtrak First-class lounge. On the way down here I got into an argument with a guy on the CTA--first time I've ever done that. He was singing loudly and banging on the wall of the train and a woman asked him to stop. He refused, saying it was a free country and he could do what he wanted. He sang and banged louder. They continued to argue. As she was leaving, he made comments about her not having a man and about her ass. So I told him he shouldn't sexually harass women. Even as I told him that I knew it was probably pointless, which it was. He argued with me for a while and then this other guy joined in. So it was a weird and stressful trip down here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sad about the shopping...

Man, this project is making me dizzy. Everybody thinks I'm doing everything on it. Partly that's because I keep sticking my nose into every corner of it, but some of it I absolutely don't understand. There's an entire company I don't represent, but the IT manager of that company is setting up a meeting with me to discuss issues. Doesn't he remember he's not my boss? Doesn't my boss remember he is m boss?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Is this real or a shop (man in underwear)?

Is that someone I would know if I ever crawled out of my cave?

Also, if it's shopped, they seem to have shopped a testicle trying to get free.
