Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Zazie is adding a $1.25 surcharge per person to the check, which I guess is separade from the gratuity? Why not just charge more for the food? (Which is already expensive) I wonder if the regulars are getting charged.

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

That's a nifty Arrow poster.

I just remembered showing this to a co-worker a few jobs ago, and he grimaced and said "Why would you want that, though?" I was a bit stunned, because clearly I was talking about myself, so he was talking about me, and therefore insulting...

Anyway, I can't even remember his name, so it's okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys, I am so excited for this weekend! I am going to do errands and make my apartment nice and go for walks and not talk to anyone. This is my plan.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I printed that out and had it hanging in my cubicle.

I think they have an explanation on it somewhere on their menu. Juliana would know the details better, but there was a city ordinance passed that required restaurants to offer insurance to wait staff, cooks, bus boys at restaurants. Some places prefer to highlight this contribution instead of rolling it into the prices of the meals.

Me too, me too. Of all the body parts, that was the most applicable.

The other business analyst has signed the NDA. He's so transparently happy to be on the project, it's adorable. And I know he's not the sort of person who will be sitting bolt upright in the middle of the night with random displaced panic either.

Like he's supposed to.

A month or so ago, I tried wearing this to work, and I couldn't, because my shoulder was too sensitive. I can still feel it very clearly on my left side, and I might take it off at lunch just in case, but I have had it on for three hours instead of three minutes like last time--2 radiofrequency ablations down, and maybe still more to go. Good lord.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

God, I hate that meetings never start on time. I am currently waiting to be called for a teleconference.

My goddamn meetings start on time.

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

That looks like an Ethiopian cross.

Annoying co-worker is an hour and a half OVER the end time for a meeting she is having AT HER DESK. We are supposed to be working on a project that she is training me on. This means that instead of showing me steps she does on this budgetting process, she will now do them at night where I am not getting trained. SHe swears she wants this off her plate, but then she does stuff like this.

The reason this meeting is going so long is that she is making the vendor go into every last option on every last item (vehicles). She is a giant control freak and for some reason sees herself as the person to make decisions that I think are way out of her role. Why the hell should she (an admin) be the one to set the vehicle standards for our sales guys? So bizarre to me that the Directors do not reign her in. Me? I don't want to make decisions, so I do not do anything unless told to, and I ask them to make these decisions.
