I'm pretty sure that's correct.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
On the one hand, it's Monday. On the other hand, the books I ordered arrived....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
If I pull my scarf over my head, the world will cease to exist and I can ignore it, right?
Please let me know if that works.
I knew within an hour of getting here that today was going to be a Bad Attitude day, so I've been trying to stay hidden in my office and talk t as few people as possible, but THEY KEEP NOT COOPERATING

My box of TJ's goodies from Lee arrived. I'm trying to be good and not open it until I'm done with work.
It looks like I'm going ot have to text/call/meet with the bf. I just need to separate the stuff about their relationship that concerns me from the "you were rude to my guest and the living here conditions changed without any renegotiation".

SO TEMPTING.
I am reminded of one day when I was in college, when I crawled under my desk and pretended to be an eggplant. I really really want to do that right now.
As it is, I've started not picking up calls from my parents, since it's just my mother freaking out and my dad totally enabling her. I think we're going to have to hire someone to sit with her for several hours/day, on top of the $$$ we're paying to the senior community.

I convinced the boss to change the gift card. Not much better, but now it is Best Buy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think that's a good call, Consuela. You have to take care of your own mental health, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One of my co-workers is totally asking for my mentoring today. It's kind of, well no--it is flattering. And then he got chewed out by our boss, so I welcomed him to the club, and asked if he'd had one particular objection yet.
Amusingly (well, to me), he hadn't, but he got called back in and chewed out again, and then he did get that line too. Apparently it's harder keeping a straight face when you've seen the impersonation beforehand.
Still, the scope of his responsibilities are broadening, I guess, to be more like mine, although I totally think of him as equivalent to me. Then I realise he's prepping for his first presentation to the CIO, and oh, yeah. I guess maybe it's more different than I'd imagined.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Consuela, vibing hugely for you, and your whole family. I can't believe how wretched it's been and how your mom's distress and anger are continuing to keep it wretched. Shielding yourself and conserving what energy you've got sounds like a very wise plan (even if you end up eggplanting under your desk -- anything it takes).
