Plot twist: a coworker drove me home, and I just had soup. I may perk up enough to head to the movie.
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.

Our wings are not tired.
I think I will nap on the comfy couch in my office before I drive home. I had such a frustrating day that I went across the street and got a couple pieces of pizza and a root beer. Now I want to nap.
Too tired to know what I think of my work.
How exciting, Suzi. I'm trying to decide if I would be terrified on the helicopter ride. I do want to kayak through the canyon for sure.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I want lots of details, Suzi, when you recover!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Bullet points will take too much space. This is for a brief, one-page version of the resume.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Then definitely not the "I did X" -- just start with the verbs. And if you make those three sentences three bullets, it looks from here like taking up the same amount of space, but I leave that to your discretion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've had a couple things to do that made me feel like a valuable citizen of the earth, but it's been a while. These days I'd settle for feeling like part of an aligned and motivated team--it's been a couple years since that happened here, no matter how much I struggle.
I've seen a bit of gnashing and moaning about losing 2014 TWOP around, and I had forgotten I didn't read it anymore, that's how far away from it I was. But the archives are definitely something worth hanging onto, especially if they do go all the way back.
Kat--belated twin birthday wishes! Colin asks after them more than I can answer, so I need to remember to tell him they're huge and ancient now.

Hullo, ita!
Interns: given new start dates, no explanation. Boss lady: informed of new start dates with no explanation. ED: will terminate her on Tuesday but if not, new hires will still miss the transition.
Also, old boss lady came to visit because she was closing out the sale of her house. My god, I miss her and have missed her so much.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I just got an email from the hotel for next week asking if there's anything the chef should know, or special preferences for housekeeping to be aware of. I kind of wish I had something.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
No cilantro? Or all cilantro? Hot and cold running avocados 24/7?
That's pretty sweet.
