Brava, shrift!
ita, I have no words. (ok, partly because I just drank a fairly strong Pisco sour...)
congratulations, -t!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Reason #ohIforget I love living here: my neighbor came over to borrow my dryer, since his crapped out several weeks ago. He was going to replace it but then his boiler died and heat is a bigger priority than laundry at this point. I like being able to help! I loaned him my space heater too.
Also, msbelle?? Nice job! Lily Allen's Fuck You Very Much always amuses me for a cool-down. But I'm cranky that way.

What, did you forbid him to go to a Justin Bieber concert because of his grades?
Oh, I didn't ruin my Director's life. I ruined someone else's life. Or so he keeps loudly proclaiming. To put it briefly, things... escalated.
I did tell my manager today that he's not allowed to tell me to work on my visibility for at least a couple of quarters.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Go msbelle with the workouts! And shrift with the life-ruination!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY -t!
Boo ER people!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go, msbelle!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Good on you, msbelle. I got back into my workout today too, although I only did half of it before I collapsed dramatically on my mat feeling sorry for myself.
But then I spent an hour and a half hauling firewood by hand because my woodcart is broken. So I think I'm good.
Now I just have to decide if I'm going to Hobbiton or not.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That should go on your business card. Or desk nameplate.
-t, flexible and irregular is pretty nice.
ita's ER docs make as much sense as the Michigan legislature. What the hell is wrong with people?
Watching this week's Parenthood tonight after learning that a friend/colleague passed away yesterday from a bad reaction to cancer treatments was perhaps not the best choice.

Other than the boss's assessment, why are you a life ruiner, shrift?
This week I graded all of the things, input all of the grades, returned most of the papers and now I need to finish, and give, a presentation at a conference on Saturday. What am I going to wear?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Have I mentioned that I had a good day today? I got a decent night's sleep for the first time in days, work was steady instead of OMG busy or OMG slow, no one asked me for things that don't exist, and we had a charity bake sale, so hallo, sugar high.
Only downside was that I didn't get a neat title, like Life Ruiner.
