I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

As a naturally paranoid person and then with added anxiety, I have no patience for the everything is scary people. I mean, I do have some patience because mac is an everything is scary person, but I treat it with sarcasm and mockery with a light touch. I mean, the ridiculousness of having 5 locks locked on our back door each night is RIDIC.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And possibly mug people.

Just make sure to do it in the suburbs.

And now Chatty Thing got in.

I think I just hate everything today. Good thing I have lots of meetings, right?

hip deep in pie

Is there anything local this weekend that you could go do?

I haven't looked into it. Flights, to NY, however, I have. Too bad they are so expensive at such short notice. I wish I could drive b/c I would just find a rural B&B somewhere and go veg.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My co-workers claw my thighs and poop in the hallway. And they really never accomplish anything; they're very lazy.

Of course, they're CATS.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you're a person who has to create business documents it should only take you a year or two _tops_ to work out how good your spelling may or may not be. If it's the sort of spelling that isn't fixed with a re-read, spell check. If it is the sort of spelling that is fixed with a re-read, SPELL CHECK. What the fuck does it cost you?

No document should get to me that can't pass a spell check. I should be looking for grammar issues and heterographic homophones. Stuff that doesn't get a red or green wiggly, that's for sure.

I often wished wistfully for a rubber stamp that said "SPELLCHECK MOTHERFUCKERS!" when I was teaching. High school AND college.

Jesus. Just run the program.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, does anyone know how you find someone to run an estate sale?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There was a company that did it for my family when my grandmother died. I guess they priced things, dealt with the sale, and took away anything that didn't sell.

Because this is New Orleans, I think they were these people, called The Funky Junk Brothers.
