But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It comes with bookstore cats!! I want it! Sad.

If it didn't come with cats, I would be tempted.

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

I just had a series of panic attacks on checking my email. The servers we should have access to for project 1, we don't. The storage space for project 1 looks like the wrong storage space. Suddenly we need Java expertise on project 1 and we have none. Project 2 starts on the same servers as project 1 a week before project 1 ends, and my boss has just compressed 7 months of work to be delivered by Christmas. I'm on the record as thinking the risk is too high, but shit...I don't care who we're hiring...that's too much.

I need to do some biofeedback exercises to calm my ass down. But...jesus. The CIO told us to take 7 months.

I just sent an "OMG, freakout" email to my manager, but I don't know if that's enough, because I need to use her as an escalation path. My word isn't being counted as important here. I need to know if I'm alone in this POV, in which case--alone. Suck it up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eek, ita. Keep breathing.

Seriously, there's no pay, but you only have to work the store Fridays and Saturdays. [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Attack Goose!

Is the state song a thing that kids all over the US learn? With hand gestures and stuff?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Man, that bookstore thing sounds wonderful.

If Tennessee has a state song, I never learned it.

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

there are no hand guestures to the TX state song. and I would guess most kids do not know it. I knew it at one point, but now only know the name.

ION, I am wearing one of the Target maternity dresses today and it totally works. The materials is a little thin, but other than that, fine. The non-maternity dress with the pockets I wore yesterday. I like it enough to buy another in a different color, I think.

No, the state song is not a thing in most states. I cannot name any state songs, and I've lived in seven states.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I spent an entire year learning the state history of NYS, and no song for me. The state bird is the bluebird, though.
