Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is it weird to tweet at a restaurant on my block to see if they have running water? I can't find any info other than that streets are still closed, which doesn't bode well, but I am curious!

I'd probably do it, especially if I were a regular customer.

I've been there once! I do realize it doesn't really matter either way and I'll just see what I see when I get home. (If there's still no water, I might spend the night at my folks', but would need to go home first anyway...)

ION, I just got an email from a colleague who uses Comic Sans as her default font. It sort of works for what her job is, but it still made me laugh.

It would be weird if you had water this morning, but since you didn't, no.

I JUST got mansplained! I was talking to BFF's brother (who works with me). He is kind of a bloviator to begin with in that he tends to have conversations at you rather than with you, but I kinda do that too. We were talking about board games and he brought up Clue. He started to tell me all this stuff about Clue (that it is called Clue-do in England, and that Mr. Green is sometimes called Reverend Green, etc). So, since I know him and I don't need to be super polite, I said "I literally read the wiki artcle on Clue LAST NIGHT.", so I just learned all this. AND HE KEPT TALKING, and explaining more "Clue" factiods from the wiki article. And so I tried to change to another board game, but he just kept going.

No big deal, though, and he really does do it to everyone

It is no big

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

It sort of works for what her job is, but it still made me laugh.

She's either a comic book letterer (of not much innovation), or a kindergarten teacher (and expectedly exhausted).

Right?

There is a guy here whose surname is Love and I CAN'T WORK WITH HIM. I'm going to say the wrong thing sooner or later.

And the siblings named Chris are also making me wacky. One's over the cube wall from me, and the his sister was at my desk while I needed to find an email from a third Chris. The brother takes the snarking a little less well than his sister. I just can't believe they have another one at home!

And, shit, I don't have garlic fries yet.

The actual project we're talking about involves both comics AND kindergarten students, so.

I must have skimmed. Someone had multiple children named "Chris" and you work with two of them?

Arrrggg. Just got off a call with a newish project manager (new to me, not project management). And all of a sudden I realized that someone could play corporate buzzword bingo just off of my side of the conversation. When did I start talking like that?

I think I would still eschew Comic Sans, though it is possibly justifiable in that instance, Jesse. Also, tweet the restaurant. Though if they don't have water, I imagine they're closed--usually restaurants aren't allowed to serve without running water (because then people can't wash their hands)

I am annoyed because the girl I've been seeing was all "I never see you!" and I was like "Well, wanna do lunch tomorrow? Noon?" yesterday. And today she apparently decided to go to IKEA at 11:30. And texted me, and I was like "So, more like 12:30 then?" and then she said sure, and then kept texting me from IKEA and i was like '...12:45?" and then I was walking there and she texted "Maybe a little after 1" and I gave up and was like "No, I'll have to see you some other time". Grrr. WTF, people. If you have plans at noon, backtrack! "It'll take me 20 minutes to get there from IKEA, and I need at least an hour there, and it takes me 20 minutes to get there, so I need to leave for IKEA by 10:15!"
