You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

What pisses me off is that I think I'll make the cutoff date in time to get reimbursed, but this is one of those instances where my neighbor didn't give me this mail until halfway through the due date. We share a mailbox, and they always get home before me. But if I got a PO box, I'd be terrible about checking it. Maybe I should change my mailing address to my work address.

It sucks. I get so little mail because most of my bills are online paperless. It feels like too late to ask them to leave my shit in the mailbox.

But, yeah, I claimed that money. We'll see if it takes another four years to get to me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

msbelle - I like my schadenfreude on sourdough toast with a bit of butter. And wine.

Matt's idea is incredibly funny.

Julie, yes get that property ASAP.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

If you change your mailing address to your work address with the post office, you will not be able to change it with forwarding to a new address in the future, since your work address is a business address. I had this issue with my Toledo apartment.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Flea, I'd say talk all you want about the dad drama (which...good lord) just not in front of her?

Yuuuup. There are going to be many whispered side conversations, I am Certain.

Speaking of gossip (and I also support you in your work gossiping, msbelle!), remember the wedding invitation I just got? My mother just told me the groom was going to ask me out if he didn't start dating the woman he's now married to. Hilarious! We have never spent any time together, but have met a bunch. But among other things, he is too short for me!

Hey msbelle, do you want any of the old McCormick green top spice jars? I took several from my grandmother's, in case you want them.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

msbelle, I'd like to think that she was fired because, with your excellence leaving the work unit, her lacks were suddenly so much more evident. IOW, you so made up for her problems, without it somehow going to your credit. Which I've seen happen a couple times in work situations.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think Theo is correct.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am so tempted to sit and watch Evening Relaxation on DogTV. Doesn't that sound pleasant?

Aw, my CSA was part of the food bank story on Today today.

The OC was 10 years ago.

I guess I should accept that I'm not going to get around to watching that. Weird.

Hah--so I hired a guy to take out the jungle that is my yard (no, really, it's a little townhouse hard but it's impenetrable) and my roommate forgot he was coming and apparently came home and was like "OMG wtf it's empty!" It's making me giggle. Now to figure out what to put in instead, though. That's e harder part! And more expensive.
