That would be the only reason, though. Blech.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I would make gagging noises and claim it had made me sick and get off the call.

It's not a bad time to be getting out of there. They have to lay off another 50-75 people, due to the federal budget. It won't be any of my team, but that just means more work will be dumped on the people who are left.

My mom wants to know why I'm not staying through Monday this weekend. I was considering it before I found out she's taking over child care for my nieces starting Monday. I need to find a polite lie rather than tell her that I'm a terrible person who doesn't want to spend all day helping her babysit two toddlers and a baby.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My job can kiss my ass so hard right now. No one has gotten back to me on anything all week, and suddenly this afternoon there's all this shit that I have to deal with, and I don't want to! I am on vacation in four minutes! Except not really, of course, because I need to talk to my boss, and she is on the phone. Fuck everyone.
Except of course I am grateful to have a job......

There's something very urgent you have to do in your apartment. Paint, or repair something.

shrift, dear, that's a sensible person.
Jesse, I feel the same way about grateful for a job. And yet, I want to strangle everyone I work with.

Oh Amy, your job is way worse than mine! Mine is actually good, just annoying today.
