See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Jilli, you have one of these [link], right?

If you don't, or if anyone else doesn't but is interested, there's a local restaurant with about a dozen of those hanging from the ceiling, and the owner has another several dozen in a big box in his office that he'll sell for about $25 less than on that website. Which is still more than I can justify for an umbrella, really, but I've been holding onto his business card for months in case I stumble over a treasure chest or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, Dana.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have a hard time seeing tests like that as anything but a trap. A full-on, Admiral Ackbar trap.

But I also don't think there's anything to be done with them except answer and not obsess.

Like, would you rather come early, stay late, or stick to your job hours? No, guys, I don't really want to give you tons of my life, but I'm not going to say that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The answer to your question, Connie, is apparently that I'm not going to survive.

At least then it's 50/50?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I expected it to be a grammar/spelling assessment. But it's done, and I have two more jobs to apply for tomorrow. And my resume is done, other than the tweaking I will try to do for individual jobs.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

My other "can't just be me" gripe is when sites give the prime real estate to their "sign up" options and tuck "sign in" around the corner and down two flights of stairs. Fine, yes, you already have my info. But still pretend you think I'm pretty!

This makes me BUGFUCK. It is not a petty gripe; it's tone-deaf. Connect.garmin.com -- stop trying to get me to sign up! All of your users are here because they already bought a fucking garmin!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Yep, that's my parsol/umbrella! I have that b&w pinwheel one, and an all-black one. They just recently came out with a new handle I need to go pick up.
