We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Was this a planned shutdown, or was there an emergency?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

There was a three-alarm fire at the worst possible location (the last East Bay station, which all three routes from the East Bay must go through).

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

Okay, hey, that thing where you wanted the form faxed to a different fax number than the one on the form? NOT FUCKING OBVIOUS, and now I have no idea where my confidential medical information went, since it's clearly not to HR's magical secret fax number.

Jesus, I've been harassing my doctor for a week and a half, and you never thought to mention THE FAX NUMBER ON THE FORM IS IRRELEVANT?

God, I'm fucking pissed.

Punishingly Intricate

Wow, I just got told (by someone nice who I like) that I am a giant asshole in meetings. Am feeling like a giamt piece of shit with a terrible personality. And now I have to somehow stop crying in my car and go into the office. Awesome.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

What the fuck, lisah? That's completely suckful and painful and also factually incorrect. You have one of the best personalities on the planet!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh lisah, that sucks! I am sending hugs

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Wow, I just got told (by someone nice who I like) that I am a giant asshole in meetings.

I am constantly getting told now that I am an asshole in my email communication. It makes me feel kind of bad, but I know that these southerners can't take actual aggressiveness, as opposed to passive aggressiveness. I find it fascinating that though I was at one time the most conflict-avoidant personality ever, now I am a tell-it-like-it-is asshole. I like it!

Ugh, Lisa. Fuck a sleeping room, offices should have a crying room. With Visine. I'm so sorry someone was such a shit to you. There's just no need to do that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am super confident you are not an asshole, Lisa! You either, Nora.

I am sorry if you are surrounded by delicate flowers.
