Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Our wings are not tired.

One of my client offices is like this. They all yell to each other rather than either getting up or using a phone extension. They also all hate each other and make faces behind each other's backs. When I visit there I leave with jitters. I could not work in that kind of environment.

Just get up! It's not that hard! I never call my immediate coworkers, which makes it awkward when I'm out of the office. I did finally remember to put some people's numbers in my phone.
This coworker does like people, I should say.

I can't believe I still have to sit here for two+ more hours. Maybe I'll go get a snack. ISTG, I boredom-eat more at work than at home.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
For some reason, I thought some of the redder states didn't have it.
Gay marriage for some, divorces for EVERYONE!

Because books.
I always boredom-ate at work! Because it was a) an excuse to get up from my desk, and b) usually an excuse to go out to buy the snack, which meant I could smoke.

I'm not surprised that red states are happy to have a way to get rid of a spouse without having to assign blame, ie, possible financial responsibility.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Love and commitment can involve sex, but sex ain't the end all, be all, and until death do us part doesn't have a clause that says you take it all back if one of or both of you just ain't up to or up for that piece of it.
I'm sorry. Can I just get another chorus of this?

It used to be very difficult in Virginia for a woman to escape an abusive spouse through divorce. (An ex's sister went through that, in that state, and would rant about it often.) I don't know if it was the unreasonable amount of time you had to be separated before divorcing, or actual divorce law pieces.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great. No fault divorce is clearly going to be my research issue of the day. THANKS MUPPETLOVEHATERWOMAN.
I love the chain of processing.
I have now moved my desk. I'm going to miss my guy over the cube wall, but--all new guys. I am the only chick in a bit of a radius, and they know it--my not smelling bad has been commented on, and I have been assured there is no head-sitting-on required or encouraged.
And now I'm back to being call center people. No one ever needs to tell me they have to put a robe on so we can talk more.
