Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yes, But in HIS eyes, I would have failed his loyalty test by talking to HR. I know I did nothing wrong.

Because books.

A grown man who has a *loyalty test* (even in his head) needs not to be a manager. I hope it's not too uncomfortable today.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wait, was he lying about leaving to test your loyalty? That is really screwed up.

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

Or HR tanked whatever the new role was after he opened his big mouth. (Again, his fault, not yours.)

I have no idea. I will no longer ask questions. I need to not work here. I need to marry a rich person who lives somewhere else and would like to send me a monthly stipend. Can one of you get on that for me? Highlights you can use to sell me: I am humorous. I am not emotionally needy. I can use power tools. I bake well. I pull weeds like a champ. I am better at gaining weight than I ever knew. I am mostly emotionally stable. My kid is cute and would look good in fake family pictures.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, just keep your head down.

This is why I should be working more an on the internet less: I have seen multiple stories about last night's Good Wife, but I haven't watched it yet! And may not have time tonight, either.

Why the hell did I book an 8am physical therapy appointment? Ugh. Am awake and unhappy about it. And won't have time to get coffee before the appointment.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Today's amusing medical editing anecdote: an editorial about how the big swoopy Justin Bieber bangs are a good thing in terms of providing photoprotection to the forehead from sun damage. No lie. (Although they don't actually name the Biebs, they refer to a "teen mega celebrity" and describe his hair in a way that it's clearly him.)

Go Bieber with the photoprotective hair!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

msbelle, your hopefully-ex-boss is an infantile control freak and should not be in any kind of power position.

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

That's bonkers, msbelle. IDEK.

I had difficulty getting dressed this morning to the point that I was actually late to work. I feel like I should have mastered that by now.
