Thanks for the support, everyone.
Ah co-worker, don't ever change. When I answered her question about how late I'd be staying tonight, she replied "I'll be here longer than that" as if she wanted me to give her a cookie.
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

Condolences, Matt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I stumbled on getting a word out in a meeting with a gruff director I don't talk to much--I could not say "inviolable" to save my life. In fact, I'm still second guessing myself.
However, stumbling and righting yourself with "Oh, never mind--impregnable, then" seems to be a real crowd pleaser.
IT'S VOCABULARY. IT'S NOT FOR LAUGHS.

None of my scheduled payments are showing up as transactions in my account, and yet the payees think they've been paid. Including my mortgage. Which is making me a little paranoid.

Hah, I wish. No, I suspect it is just holiday-lag issues, but I dislike it when my bank account is posting the wrong information!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That happens to me all the time, sarameg, and so far everything has actually been paid and all the various records eventually agree. I guess the information of where the money is propagates differently through the systems.

I'm so sorry, Matt.

Did they get poofy?
They did. They're a lot more tender than store bought, too. Possibly because they were only 15 minutes old when I tried one.
