I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sorry, -t. Can you make any time in between?

Because books.

Can you postpone, -t? Or maybe by the time you're done there, you'll feel a little better?

Maybe they will massage your scalp and make you feel better, -t?

I realized that I do have to login to work tonight to do a thing, but I'm going to eat dinner first and have a glass of wine immediately after.

Ooh yes, I vote a scalp massage and a glass of wine...for everyone?

Guys, my main office pal is getting fired. As Director of HR, I have to fire her a week from Friday and I can't of course, tell her. Sometimes my job is NO FUN.

Oh man, that sucks. Is it for awkward "you suck at your job" reasons, or something easier?

I took a walk, had some lunch, came back and got in the pool, and then took a nap for a few hours and had crazy dreams--let me NOT recommend binge-watching Veronica Mars for calm dreams.

Thanks, dcp. I feel like a jerk now. I was so dure that I was being fed lies that I thought my own googling would yield nothing.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I feel like such a bum. Only worked 5 hours yesterday and 6 hours today. So not my normal hours. But I'm done with the dentist for a bit at least.

I go back to my foot doc after work tomorrow.

Also, all my kitchen cabinets are now empty. The counters are full of stuff to be packed, but still - empty cabinets.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I theoretically have rehearsal tonight from 8:45 to 10, but considering I'd have to leave the house at 8, and would probably arrive to find that the director decided "screw the schedule again", I'm not hugely motivated.

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

One scalp massage and haircut later, I do feel better. I might have a glass of wine now...

Hooray empty cabinets!

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

Is it for awkward "you suck at your job" reasons, or something easier?

It's for "we have a new owner and you have been really uncooperative with all the changes."

Boss had an interview she wanted me to be there for. I was there. Interviewee was there. Boss never showed. Never texted me that she was tied up and that I should proceed on my own. I did, eventually, and later told her that she'd left me in the lurch. She said sorry and then proceeded to list why she was tied up. And I'm still all: TEXT! She refuses all culpability and points to other things to excuse her behavior. Why would I assume that she'd be 45 minutes overlong with a prior appointment?
