And it made me wonder--is that why we work so well together? Are you playing me, motherfucker?
He probably is but you can just think of it as him acting in a situationally appropriate and effective manner.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The status is NOT quo.
People. I just spent FOUR HOURS trying to climb out of the rabbit hole that is picking a new duvet cover for the guest room that is 1) affordable, 2) appropriate for the godawful baby-poo tan wall color, and 3) not circa 1984. I also finally bought a pair of full-size sheets to replace the ancient queen sized ones we’ve been using for years (this took an additional hour reading conflicting reviews on overstock.com). That should not have taken that long, seriously.
What prompted this, by the way, is the fact that the current duvet cover -- a fading microsuede beige thingy with a satiny bottom -- has become the kittens’ latest plaything. They run full tilt and jump on, at which point they ride the sucker like a surf board as it slides off the bed. I am tired of having to wash the duvet every week because it has yet again ended up in a pile on the floor.
This is the duvet I finally settled on: [link]
Please don’t’ tell me it’s ugly. I might cry. NO ONE TOLD ME BUYING A DUVET WOULD MAKE ME FRAGILE.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Pix, it's gorgeous, and an incredible deal to boot. Please don't cry!

It's a great deal too, Pix. I, however, want video of the kittens surfing on the duvet.

Very pretty. Marimekko fabrics are awesome.

So, the thing is, the woman just comes across as incredibly privileged and entitled. YES, living away from home 5 days a week is much harder than living at home and working and missing your kids. But the fact that you could leave your high stress, high hour State job to go back to be a tenured professor at Princeton, where it is easier to balance your life with your family... sigh. Cry me a fucking river.
It pisses me off to no end that when deciding what she was going to do to improve the situation for women she . . . wrote an article all about her that doesn't even contribute anything new to the conversation. Feh and bah.

Same project as yesterday's strange spelling, but different author:
He means participants'. He wrote percipients.

Percipients are people who percieve things, clearly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, a series of SNAFUs already this morning made me laugh so hard alone in my office that my boss came in because she thought I was crying! TGIF, bitches!
