I started the day testifying at a unemployment hearing,. I was then followed down the hall by an employee yelling at me "You're a liar. You are being paid to lie! I hope someone lies about your family!" *
- I was not lying.
Angel: You're lying. Gwen: I'm fibbing. It's lying, only classier.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You could be lying now.
Testifying at that stuff SUX. With a big ole capital SUCK. I'm so sorry you had to do that today.

That is not a good day at work, Scrappy. Yikes.

An employee who resigned applied for UI, saying she was fired. I had to go in and say, No, she actually resigned.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, that sounds terrible, Scrappy.
However, I will now lie about your family: Your family is ugly and unpleasant!

Given how unpleasant and bureaucratic they make it for people applying for unemployment, something tells me it's probably not any better for employers dealing with it either.
I want to go try my new running shoes, but it is too hot outside. (It's OVER EIGHTY!! OMG!) but I don't want to do it on a treadmill because I like running outside better. One part of me is saying 'you could go tomorrow morning and run!" and another part is saying "when is the last time you actually got up early enough to do shit like that, after telling yourself you would? OH, NEVER"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, Scrappy, that doesn't sound fun at all.

meara, I'm actually having a lot more luck getting my cardio in in the cool early morning hours just after waking rather than waiting til after dark and hoping I have enough energy. I am definitely Not A Morning Person, but having about an hour of cooldown/breakfast time before I have to get ready for work seems to be going well. (Also results in falling asleep on my couch while trying to watch news/talk shows, but at least I'm getting enough rest?)
