Matt, My sympathies to your family.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I found some pics of my Jamaican high school friends and took them to show to my Jamaican co-worker. As she flipped through (she found one intensely familiar), she pointed to a white friend and asked "Mother?"
Uh, that's a 14 year old white former classmate. I forget some people think I'm biracial, but Joanne Fletcher is NOT my mother. Heaven forfend!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's still two paddles inserted into my spinal area, a remote control, a battery pack on my hip, and a foam collar for a week.
Oh yikes.
So there's a work thing that I've been hiding from for months and am finally trying to deal with and it's so hard, because I really did screw it up, and ugh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have run out of motivation. It's naptime now, right?

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

Matt, much ~ma to you and your family.
ita-- Yikes-- that is a lot of equipment. But if it helps?

Matt, I'm so sorry.
I was a little bewildered when the alarm went off this morning.
I took today off (we traveled home yesterday from the NYE event, and I knew I'd need a day of decompression), which means going back to the office tomorrow is going to be WEIRD.

Oh, Matt, I'm so sorry for your family. Much strength to you all.
And I just realized I'm taking my mother to a dentist's appointment as well as a psych visit this afternoon. Joy.
But a friend has some open wine from New Year's to get rid of, so I might help her with that afterwards...

See, it's not actually about my headaches. It's about my neck pain. Which I do intensely dislike. But it grinds me to a halt less than the headaches.
I'm looking at the Skillpath courses that my manager forwarded to me. I wonder if I get to take two? I am tempted to ask for the "how can I be nicer???" ones, but I'll just ask for project management like a good girl.
However, my Christmas vacation was a like...call me Scrooge, I guess, but I was only visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, and apparently I'm quite the bully. Which...cracks me up, but that's not fair to the people that think I strong-armed them into whatever conclusion I decided was right that day.
Oops.

Is the idea that they are actually the same thing? Because now that sounds like a big response to a secondary problem?
