bt, have you ruled out the e-book (which is really a .pdf) version? www.oneseedstory.com
Yes, WHRRC (Woman who runs Ryan's childcare) is looking for a hard copy. I think she's already got the .pdf, and a recording of the song.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
For some reason I don't think she's understanding that I suffer from a lack of can that is more overwhelming than my lack of want. I think I will be bringing the spoons metaphor with me to the next meeting.
There can be a chasm between "want" and "can" a lot of days.
I hope the spoon story will help her understand at least somewhat. I don't know that people have retained the knowledge but they've, to at least some degree, understood it in the moment when I've pointed them to it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The camp is actually for grown-ups - attendees with ages mentioned were 26 and 45.
Sounds like grown-ups who regret having grown up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Allie Brosh's book is now available for pre-order, which I have just done.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't like being sent meeting invites for ten minutes in the future, no matter if my calendar is clear. I am taking breaks now (getting a walk in, thanks) and they last fifteen minutes. And sometimes I'm doing work. That isn't on my calendar. It's safest to give more lead time than that.
Okay, gotta go. Got a 10:30, apparently.

Today is a good day I think to watch a lot of MST3K on Hulu.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Dear [secretary], you know, if you are going to take credit for the work other people have done and present it as your own, and then get asked a follow up question, it might be a good idea not to send the people who did the original work the emails showing that you are taking credit for the work, especially if you did it in a way that makes it look like the other people missed something.

Because books.
Are her books like the web comic, Zen?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Work is irritating me so I painted my nails instead.
