That sounds like a lovely day, WindSparrow.
I hope your appointment goes well, Strix.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thank you, Jessica! Insent...
The meeting I was just in ended with "Let's pick up after lunch! 12:30?"
Well, it tried to end with that. I made it end on "I need to actually get lunch--I'll be back in time for you to make your 2:00."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My office is closing early today, but I am leaving at my usual Friday time because we are all uncertain how that would work with the contracting agency. But my day ends at 3 normally, so I won't be here all by myself for long, if at all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My boss just texted me that I could leave at 3:00. And then I have the next nine days off!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Woohoo, tommy!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
There's a drum circle going on outside. For Staff Appreciation Month. Just for the record, this does not make me feel appreciated. Not even with the FREE MOON PIES (while supplies last).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think drum circles are likely to elicit rage. Discuss.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Woke up a bunch of times during the night. (Mostly because of the congestion in my nose, but having Nova start meowing at 6 didn't help.) Did a half day at work, and am now at Balticon, soaking up the free wi-fi in the lobby. Not as tired as I thought I'd be.

The FREE MOON PIES are also pissing me off mightily, like we're a bunch of puppies jumping eagerly at snax instead of grown-ups with years invested in working for this place without raises or bonuses and with very, very little chance for advancement (plus, isn't the history of the popularity of the Moon Pie that it was sugary and dirt cheap, so even a day laborer sweating for pennies could afford a Moon Pie and a Coke for lunch and have enough energy to sweat through the rest of the day? That's the best snax they could come up with for a Staff Appreciation giveaway?).
But, fuck, that's one loud-ass drum circle. I've got plenty of rage to spread around.
This is in part fueled by the gift I got earlier this week, a huge box from a "fulfillment center" somewhere out by Chico that contained a tiny box that contained a 5-year service pin (I've been here almost 21 years, but since I left for 4 months in 2008 my service-rewards clock was set back to zero). No note from the university, no nothing, just a warm and friendly insert in the tiny box informing me that my service pin comes with a limited warranty. So, currently feeling both not appreciated and not fulfilled by my employer.
