Oh man, Matt! And she just drove away?? WTF.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, Matt! Glad you weren't badly hurt!
Post marked, Consuela. TTBOOK is one of my standards, I'm betting some of those history 'casts will fill the bill. Audiobooks almost have to be something I've already read to be listen-while-I-do-something-else fodder, but that could work. I would love some kind of subliminal learning thing that would just drone in my ears without me really paying attention and eventually I could speak Italian or something, but that probably does not actually exist.

Yesterday one of my coworkers got clipped by a car (while crossing in the crosswalk with the light) right in front of the building on the way in. They thought she was just shaken up but the first responders took her to the hospital to be sure she was ok and she turned out to have a broken hip, and had surgery last night. She's a relatively frail 60ish, and I am really ticked at bad drivers right now.

Oh man, Matt! And she just drove away?? WTF.
To be fair I left the intersection first, glaring and muttering all the while, and didn't even realize I was bleeding til I got to my front door. I wouldn't classify it as a hit and run.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Matt, that's pretty scary, and I hope no further injuries appear.

Hubby has been known to take his cane to cars that bump him in crosswalks. And he carries metal canes. One jackass jumped out of his car to go after Hubby, and the cop who had just been pulling up said, "Don't make it worse, son." Jackass whirled in delight that the cop was going to go after this annoying man who had damaged his car after getting in his way by daring to walk on the streets, until he realized cop had his hand on his gun and was staring at the jackass. Hubby said--or snarled, actually--"I'd be thrilled to make a statement, officr," and the cop said, "No, I was right behind him, I saw the whole thing. I just need your name."
Idiot drivers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Speaking of, I just took some ibuprofen because my knee was aching--because of the accident 22 years ago when I was hit by a car while in a crosswalk with a walk signal. (The driver was making a left turn and wasn't wearing her glasses.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My first accident ("accident") was someone rolling back into my SO NEW CAR with their EVEN NEWER BIGGER CAR, and he was pissed at me that I got insurance involved.
Two weeks into my first car? Yeah, I followed rules. Fuck off.

Yikes, Matt!
chromebook pixel, shrift? Is this work provided?
Yes, but now that I have one for work I'm becoming more convinced that the price tag isn't totally ridonk and prohibitive.

Take some ibuprofen, Matt. I'm glad you're okay.
