I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

PS, if she lurks here, you are a total fucking asshole and what's the matter with you????

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, I once worked for someone with terrible allergies, and I WISH he had blown his nose constantly! Instead he just snuffled all the time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Jessica, do you remember JZ's co-worker who complained bitterly that she was making too much noise shuffling her papers while filing?

They don't get to complain about your existence.

not your mom's socks.

Jessica - that's ridiculous. Not only should you be able to blow your nose while at work, you should feel safe doing so. I'd ask to work from home just the same. I hope you feel better soon, or that the trees nearby get a room.

Happy belated Birthday, ND! Happy Birthday, Sheryl!

I am at that point in my current project where I start to second-guess everything. Like the spelling of the word 'word'.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Words to live by. IOW, I love Nora.

I am working on March monthly report. 2 WEEKS late!

Art Crawl!!!

Argh.

I have a. discovered I have no funds and b. discovered I owe the state money. So - now I must hope that my fed refund gets to my bank before the state gets my check... fingers crossed for me please.

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

They don't get to complain about your existence.

The problem is, they kind of do, because of the nature of the relationship between My Employer and This Office. This Office is not contractually obligated to let anyone from My Employer work here and can, theoretically, kick us out at any time. (Granted, doing so would more or less destroy their ability to make any money, but the threat is always there. Did I mention I want a new job????)

I love you guys, by the way.

Your employer has a bizarre agreement with their office. That is just nutty.

Happy Birthday Sheryl!

Brenda, that's a crazy story.

Every week there's a new change at work. Our direct supervisor is no longer our direct supervisor, allegedly on a temporary basis. We get out of one staff meeting to find another staff meeting scheduled for 2 hours later. I would feel some confidence if I felt all these sudden changes were coming from some plan, but I am pretty sure they don't know what they are doing with us. My internal monologue is "Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Jess, that is just crazy.
