Yays to Amy, and job~ma to Sparky and Jesse.

Hec, that's fucking horrible. I hope all those kids will be all right. I also hope bad things happen to the people who hurt them.

I would be a total neurotic paranoid wreck if I were a parent. No joke. I have nothing but awed admiration for people who can be parents without losing their damn minds.

And I feel like I'm otherwise totally unemployable, so I don't try to look for anything else.

Steph, we are twins in this. This is the first and only non-shit job I've ever had, and despite my bitching I live in fear of losing it, because there is nothing else I'm useful for besides proofreading and pushing paper ("process management", my wide white ass), and I can't imagine finding another job doing it that would be better than this.

Oh god, David. That's really scary.

Yes yes yes and yes. Maybe we should team up! And...be unemployable!

Emmett can NOT wear his awesome Christmas shoes. He must wear nasty ass shoes. MUST. I said so. period done. He should also perhaps strive to look homeless. just sayin.

We have freezing rain here today. I took our housemate to the train at 6:30 this morning and it was drizzling and warmish. 2 hours later I head out, thinking "Hm, it's gotten colder" just as my foot goes out from under me on the walk. Hooray for fat butts, they provide some cushioning on falling on them, but that much weight going down hurts. I nearly had to crawl to the car. And the walks at work were nicely salted, but the parking lot itself is lumpy hard snow and ice chunks, now evenly coated with frozen rain. One shouldn't need ice axes to get across the parking lot.

Damn, Hec that is so awful and scary. Much safety~ma for Emmett and his friends.

Yay, Amy! Congratulations!

Hec, how awful! That's so frightening.

Scrappy, I don't think I ever said. I'm so sorry about your layoff. Much job ~ma to you.

Congrats, Amy!

Yikes, Hec! Very disturbing.

I totally missed the setup for the ten hundred words discussion yesterday, if that wasn't already obvious.

We should totally team up! And...um...write about being unemployable! And then proofread it!

The nasty truth is, I'm sick of editing. I no longer care about the Oxford comma, nor do I care if the sentences are elegant and concise. I'm still holding firm on correct spelling and subject/verb agreement, and sentences should totally have a period at the end, but that's about all the give-a-shit I've got left, anymore.

Hooray, Amy! Burble away.

Hec, jeez. Scary, very scary.
