Fred, yeah, I feel you.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Rob Ford is a big story for Toronto, but not so much elsewhere. Kind of like Marion Barry in DC. Deserves big local headlines, but a side show everywhere else.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Annalee really didn't want to stop that feature
Well, that certainly makes me feel less good about her/them.
It's definitely not the site I fell for a few years ago, and I know I'm pretending when I think of it as us and Annalee & Charlie vs. Denton, but still. Ah, well. It's not mine.

Time zones are on my shit list.
Okay, so I made a dumb comment in a project doc on Monday. Coworker emails me to schedule a meeting, probably to tell me I'm being dumb, which is fair. I clarify that I made a mistake, but we're still having the meeting, whatever.
Only she emails at 1am my time to say she's scheduled the meeting. At 8am today. I see this when I get up, swear a lot, accept the meeting because I had my work computer on me, and rush to get ready. Join the call at 8am and I'm the only person on it.
With no notice, the meeting is now on my calendar for tomorrow at 8am, on a day when I already have approximately eleventy billion meetings. Now I get to wake up at 6am tomorrow and haul myself into the office just so that somebody can tell me I'm an idiot WHEN I ALREADY KNOW.
It's dark. It's raining. People didn't police their umbrellas on the train.
In conclusion, I hate everything and I'm leaving early.

Can't you decline the meeting saying you get it? I've been brushed off like that before, and it made sense.

Since I'm at fault, I'm going to it. But if it turns out to be useless, I'll know to decline in the future.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
With no notice, the meeting is now on my calendar for tomorrow at 8am
Oh, that's a cause for smiting.

I may have sent a passive-aggressive "ahem, my calendar invite says Nov. 6" email at 8:02am.

Dear Slightly smelly driver with heavy heavy smoke smell, please stop leaning in while you have me trapped in an office helping you to enroll for benefits online. I need some scent therapy.
This is why I have a tin of Gardenia solid perfume at my desk. INHALE.
