On the bright side, the city looks a little cleaner (for a little while). The sidewalk canyons are still lined with yellow though.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, my god, airline. You call back at the exact moment I'm in the bathroom?! Now I'm back in the goddamn queue again.

Oh man, shrift, that sucks. I think that would have been one of the very few OK times to be on the phone in the bathroom. Eesh.
I really don't want to work. Or do the non-work onerous tasks I need to do. Ugh.

Okay, the callback came a lot faster when I re-entered the queue. I'm now booked on the same direct flight departing tomorrow evening.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, I have paid my bills for the second half of the month, and, as usual, now I am super angry. At nothing in particular, just filled with rage. To my credit, I do pay my bills and in a timely fashion, but it would be nice if I could figure out how to do it so that it didn't piss me the fuck off.
Oh, right, I wanted to check on a work thing. Better do that before I completely forget.

Art Crawl!!!
Liese - that is totally cool.
I just got an email from a high school classmate updating contact information in preparation for our 35th high school reunion next year.
How is that possible????

Not possible. Unless...something timey-wimey.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
God, seriously, my 25th is this year. I have zero plans to go (Tim asked me, "But don't you want to show off your man candy???"), but it's still disconcerting that it's been 25 years.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My 20th is this year, and I'm weirdly ambivalent about it.

Living in New Orleans, I am of course insatiably curious about where you went to school, Dana?
