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

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

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?)

Well, my problem tends to be of the variety where no matter what time I go to bed, if I set my alarm for, say, 7, thinking I"ll work out for an hour and then shower/breakfast/ready by 9, instead when it goes off in the morning, I inevitably think "Nah, it's not that important" and reset the alarm for 8. And then snooze it a couple times when it goes off after that, just for good measure.
I'm working on convincing myself I should just go to the dang gym--it's all of 2 blocks away.

Go to the dang gym! You love working out later!

I can only convince myself to go swim first thing if it is one of those days the Y closes at noon or I have afternoon plans. And it is a SLOG.

UGH, Scrappy. I've been called to testify twice. The first subpoena was for a long-time family friend who killed her husband who had been abusing her physically and emotionally for over 20 years. I politely informed them I would be delighted to testify, and that I was sure that, as I was a case manager and court liaison for a battered women's shelter, my testimony would be INVALUABLE for the prosecution.
They declined to have me as a witness. The second time, I DID testify as a case manager and court liaison for a woman in the shelter, and it was pure, sweet pleasure. She won. He went to prison.
He DID call me a bitch, though! In front of the judge. I was SO pleased. I smiled. Real big.
That is what I thought, but I thought maybeI was being dumb, because it just made my head hurt!
Naw, it made my head hurt too, Sophia. But not because either you or I are dumb. BAD writing. Worse logic.
