People also love to get in ahead of a listing, too.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Coworker said she'd help with a tour, took the training class to brush up, spoke up with a lot of good information, so she has some decent knowledge already. Then whined later that the new recruits could handle being thrown into the deep end (which is in direct contradiction to the established training program which is under my direction) and is basically rescinding her offer of assistance. CHED director offered her assistance instead after I noted that the first chica seemed to be bailing. And it's not fair to the second gal. And I get that the first is under a lot of stress with her new responsibilities (this is the same one who keeps screwing me out of classroom space) and is it worse to force the issue with her and make her stick to her original word despite maybe her stressing about her own job that is culminating in a month, or to abuse the kindness of the second gal who's huge event is on a week?
And then the ED made me want to cry at staff meeting when he told me he didn't want me drowning silently and getting overwhelmed and angry and resentful due to my workload while in the same breath pointing out all the nitpicky shit he wanted done yesterday in front of everyone (I immediately started drowning silently and feeling angry and resentful). Maybe it was just the first part that set me off. I seem to have a hide trigger to being told I'm not wanted to stress out. It makes me stress that I'm failing miserably just by allowing myself to stress. Like, I'm being told that I'm not allowed to stress, and if I do, it's my fault.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That lemonade with the strawberries in it was pretty good too, but my attempts at artistic epiphany have been...I wanna go to sleep.

I hear you!
So, we just got cable installed. The installer guy was supposed to be here between 9-11. I got a call at 10:45 AM saying he'd be late. Then he called at 12:20 saying he'd be there in 30 minutes. He showed up at 1:15.
But it's done now.
Why did I get cable?
For the Stanley Cup of course!

The Scandal finale was extremely annoying. Anyone else see it?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, I saw it. I dunno. Annoying is a good word.

It was like an inelegant version of Alias with more colored people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I kind of feel for Shonda, because didn't they cut the season short at the last minute? Due there only being so many shots they could take of KW through a window?

You are more sympathetic than I am, Jesse.
I think she made each of the characters except Mellie (?!?) become reprehensible monsters.

My mouth is trying to kill me. First I choked on a tiny piece of cheese and coughed until my throat was raw. Then I just bit the hell out of my lip.
Save me from myself!
