You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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.

Oh lord, Lee. And she expects you to continue to answer her questions, I'd assume.

Pretty much, yes. Which I will, but I will also start copying the attorneys on everything.

re: bathrooming. I asked my doctor how often someone should go to the bathroom, and he said every couple of hours is normal. I have had to pull out the "middle-aged female bladder--look, just ask your mother, OK?" thing when young male supervisors have questioned why I couldn't go through the whole morning without taking a break. Utah law says you should give workers a ten-minute break after 5 hours of work, which to a certain class of manager means someone should be able to keep their butt in the seat for 5 hours straight--and hey, we're giving you the required half-hour lunch for eight hours works halfway through your shift, so what's the problem?
