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.

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!"

Just had an officemate (not a co-worker, the office I work in is a partner with my company but there are many departments here we don't interact with) basically accuse me of having allergies on purpose to annoy her.
Kind of want to shiv your officemate IN THE FACE. I'm a phlegm monster right now. I'm choking on AIR and glaring murderously at trees.

Dear Jess's officemate:
Allergy season will end, but you will still be an asshole.

And Ginger will always be awesome.
Swans, however, are not awesome. The ones at my alma mater would hunt down the baby ducklings in the campus pond every spring. Nasty buggers, swans.
I bought a bright blue sheath dress on sale on Sunday, and I wore it today with black tights/shoes and a black cardigan. I feel overdressed. Ah, well.

Moving on! Dylan told me yesterday that after he marries his friend Alejandro, he's also going to marry his friend Django because he wants to be married to three people. My son the gay polygamist! I'm so proud.

Happy birthday Sheryl!
And Jessica, my sympathies on both the sniffling nose and asshole officemate front. Maybe this is a perfect excuse to work from home today? (I know I know, if only...!)
Meanwhile, I registered for Pottermore this morning
I am so excited about the possibilities there, although right now work is occupying me so that I haven't been able to play on the site. We should really start friending each other. I am very envious of my daughter's name, she got SpellQueen! I didn't get any cool options like SpellQueen.
