Wait, I think I missed where shrift is ruining lives? Would that be your own, or those of others?

Co-workers will be dominated by shrift's shriftiness.

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

She's a super hero, the Life Ruiner. I like to imagine her waking up every morning and thinking "today is a good day to ruin some bad guys' lives".

I actually forget the exact context, but it's other people's lives, and they deserve it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Today's been one of those days where I now feel a lot stupider than I thought I was this morning.

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

Yay for new jobs for everyone who wants 'em!

sigh How does that Feliway stuff work, again? My Leo has become too aggressive towards the other two cats. I know he's playing, but he gets too excited and too rough, with the smacking and the biting. Any disruption to the routine (like me going away for a few days) seems to result in a flare-up of Leo's insecurity and thus bad behavior.

I'm on an abuse team. There was an incident a few months ago that resulted in me being identified as "the life ruiner" when I met a director F2F for the first time.

I like to imagine her waking up every morning and thinking "today is a good day to ruin some bad guys' lives".

Oh, we totally do this. Just the other day I let my coworker pull the trigger on a bad guy because coworker will be moving into a role where he doesn't get to do that anymore.

Oh, yay, so the other big firm I have been hoping to interview with finally got back to me (it had been a week!) and is trying to get two managers' schedules to overlap so they can both meet me at once.

I had begun to assume they weren't interested, or something. I might have developed an oversized expectation of private industry's agility after so long in the public sector.

Thrive to spite them

Zen it's a Kitty pheremone, it mimics the pheremone that they use to mark their territory so if you have the Feliway the cat thinks everything is home.

You can get difusers you plug in or a spray. It worked with Dean with some of his behavioral issues - like peeing on stuff and some of the more aggressive play with Penny.

This is an epic bad guy story brewing in a different context:

Holy schmao!

At the center of the investigation was an alleged leader of the gang, Tavon White, who prosecutors said had sexual relationships with at least four of the prison guards, fathering five children since his incarceration in Baltimore in 2009.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I finally got Mom to try the Thai restaurant when she came out to lunch with me. She had tom yum soup, mango chicken, and thai iced tea and loved it all! After the Japanese steakhouse attempt years ago I'd despaired of getting her to like anything more exotic than lasagna.
