Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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

But when it's the entire change review board, buck stops in my lap. But when it's the entire change review board, buck stops in my lap.

Okay fine, be all rational about it and shit. I can be annoyed on your behalf, right?

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

Even with your explanation, that really doesn't sound right to me, ita.

Good luck, Scrappy!

SO, Walter is at the vets getting his teeth cleaned. When we went in for his checkup the vet looked at his teeth and (a) guessed that he was 6 based on how they looked (he's 10) and (b) said it looked like it had been too long since his last cleaning (he's never had one, I don't think). HIs molars looked pretty bad, so they wanted to put him under general anesthesia, so then they wanted to do a chest x-ray because she heard a heart murmur, which looked normal but now they are sating I should go to a specialist and get him an ultrasound just in case, she's not a specialist she might have missed something, blah blah blah. I guess becoming expensive once he turns 10 is par for the course.

Anyway, a little dog~ma now that they have me stressed about the anesthesia wouldn't hurt.

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

admin lunch was a pretty big disappointment. The food was very blah, no real flavor and the same for the desserts. poop. free though, but blah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, Walter. It sounds like an abundance of caution on the part of the vet, but I guess that's OK.

msbelle, as long as the free desserts weren't actually poop.

I have too many things to do and don't want to do any of them.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

If you're grateful the desserts are poop-free, your standards are too low.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So I wasn't the only one who went there with the poop.

Rock on, my fellow 12-year-olds.

Really, brenda? Myself, I'm working on gratitude.

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

Our lunch is on Friday--I missed the one last year, but heard it was just subway type sandwiches. If they do that again this year, I am going to totally be rolling my eyes at the tacky, since there was a timekeepers lunch yesterday where the managing partner for the office made a joke about how the Chinese food they were serving was much better than sandwiches, and there are a handful of people who go to both.

(was my last comment not obviously a joke? I meant it as a joke. stupid lack of tone and facial expression.)

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

One of my meetings today was with a very phlegmy person. Staying on track was difficult.

And one of my meetings had someone say "Have you had lunch? No? Okay--I'm going to send you this presentation to work on and we'll meet again at 2." Perhaps not dramatically reasonable a thing to say to a hungry person (while you eat...) after 1.

I am going to get some lunch, not from as far away as I'd originally planned, because I'm also going to spend some time trying to shake this headache. And I'll meet again with him when I have something new to say.
