Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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

I always eat breakfast at work, because I eat with my meds, and although I don't feel like I get lightheaded on this stuff, better safe than sorry--I take it after the drive in, not before.. Lunch at my desk, because I can't be bothered to walk past either of the two lunch places in our complex, and I don't want to sit down to eat somewhere not my desk where half my co-workers are.

Nosy guy came by my desk yesterday. He made a grab for my wet tea leaves in the strainer, picked them up, smelled them, got water on my desk, and then started looking around for other stuff. I asked him why he felt the need to molest my desk and only my desk, and it at least slowed him down.

But the next time he came back, he announced that he was there to molest, so...not getting what I clearly couched in too much flippancy.

omg I'm a monster this morning. Was on vacation since last Thursday, and I'm doing site visits in Long Beach tomorrow & Friday, so I came in to find a gazillion messages in my inbox and phone.

I think I have powered through all the vital ones.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I eat at my desk because that is where the internets live, plus if I eat in the break room people might want to talk to me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That would be super annoying.

I am so fascinated by my student not being able to hear or read things correctly because they aren't familiar with the word (usually a name).

I asked my student to send an email, and to indicate in the email that the items she was sending were to help with Marilyn's questions.

My student wrote "Maryland".

I can't stop laughing!

Lee is me: also half the time the television in the break room is on Fox News, ick.

I've had to skip on Natter, so did this get picked up by the Good Things tumblr? [link]

Such an awesome story & photo.

That is the not-so-secret truth. I am eating on the couch right now, which is the home equivalent to eating at my desk, and it is for the same reason.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, but it will now!

I'm especially trying to load up the queue because I'm going to be offline for a long weekend.

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

made a grab for my wet tea leaves in the strainer, picked them up, smelled them

NO NO NO NO NO. None of that is okay! Why would anyone think it is???

When I'm at the nicer of my two offices, I try to eat in the very lovely breakout area with the comfy chairs and curl up with a podcast or audiobook so people don't bother me. But when I'm at the shitty office, the break room is even more depressing than my desk, so I'd rather be where the interwebs are.
