I have a bunch of broccoli, I should probably make soup. Too bad I can't do that at my desk...
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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.

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

I had planned to: work on Dad's taxes, go to the gym, then go get Dad and take him out to lunch. Except his taxes are taking so long! SIGH. I was going to run this morning but it's been raining off and on all morning (yay) and I'm not in the mood to get soaked.
If I don't go to lunch with Dad, lunch will be leftover oatmeal risotto. And a visit to TJ's-- I stopped there last night and of course forgot to pick up the one or two things I really needed, like TEA. Argh. I must stock up on Irish Breakfast before I go back to work!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My jeans all develop holes in the butt long before they need a dye job.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know, in general I know that comparing yourself to others rarely works out, but it is so windy outside, I thought I'd check the map! [link] And New England looks like nothing compared to that central corridor. Yikes.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think my lunch is going to be split-pea soup and cheese melted on a corn tortilla. And maybe a banana.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It is quite windy here today, and as it's also recycling day, that's not working out too well.

Because books.
It's really windy here, too.

I guess it makes sense, the way he explains it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
sarameg, that policy is bonkers. I can't imagine any way that a serious attempt to adhere to it would lead to anything but the office environment demon baby of Ayn Rand and Lord of the Flies. I hope there's a metric shitton of pushback.
Fun conversation this morning:
Co-Worker: I can't believe they put my mother on Zoloft! She's on a hundred milligrams a day. That's too much. She must be high as a kite. That terrible drug! Why would they do that?
Me: I'm on a hundred fifty a day.
Co-Worker: ...
We then had a longer, better talk about the mechanisms of various ADs and her mom's differential diagnoses and the importance in controlling anxiety in patients with memory loss and conflict-and-uncertainty-avoidance issues, and it turned out okay. But... fuuuuck, that was not how I wanted to start the morning. It's just that there was no way I could sit there and listen to that and say nothing.
