Vortex,
go on with your bad self! Congratulations.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I'd take comp time over overtime as a policy as a rule, but then again, I do not put in overtime much at all.

Way to go Vortex!
We get 60 hours of sick leave or personal time a year, which translates to 10 days off. They accumulate. But if you go out on maternity or need extended time for things like chemo, then you burn through that and then go to half day pay, which you also accumulate at something like 600 hours a year. When you leave, you get paid out for any sick leave or personal time, but not for half time pay.
Of course we also get school holidays.
The suck ass part is that when you are gone, it takes FOREVER to plan what someone else should do. Unless you have the gumption to say, "I don't care if they have a lost day!" Or when the kids were born, I said, "I don't care if they have a lost 8 weeks!" Now, though, if you get evaluated based on test scores, it may matter more.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Woohoo, Vortex! Congrats!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Good for you, Vortex! Congratulations! Now go smack that imposter syndrome down!

Vortex, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and, gosh darn it, people like you!
Congratulations.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Vortex is the champion! She is the champion!
That's in Queen voice, BTW. You can pick the QOYP (Queen Of Your Preference).
I am dealing with not dealing by drawing. Does that work? Can I externalise and put reality in a piece of paper and then scan it and push it away from me? I think that's how that works.
Wow, Louis, CK. Your stuff that was not your recent stuff makes me wonder how you got to your recent stuff--maybe they just travelled back in time to 1996 after 2003 or so to get some History. But, shit, My kingdom for a set without "Uh, wife. No sex anymore. Can't porn. Wherefore jacking off?" I would be the best standups wife because I would PUSH HIM OR HER TO EXCEL. But the two episodes of Lucky Louis I saw were easily laugh out loud, camera count notwithstanding.
I bought new pens and they weren't the right pens. I wanted pens like my pens, but more excellent. Instead I have pens like my pens, but different. With these pens, depressing pictures take more work.
Anyone have a rec for a good (not expensive) pen in line with the Pilot Precise V5 but smaller nib? The tip of the Pentel Hybrid Technica is actually more ballpoint than rolling ball. I have either hit a ceiling or a conflation.

Emmett and I were listening to a bit from his 2010 standup special, Hilarious and it had us doubled over. The bit gives us the title where he complains bitterly about how people abuse language and have debased "amazing" and "hilarious." "You wasted 'amazing' on a basket of chicken wings. What will you do if something really amazing happens like Jesus comes down from heaven and makes love to you?"
