Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm a 47 year old woman who just had poptarts for breakfast because that was what was in the vending machines, and sometimes getting myself up, dressed, and fed before work is just one thing too many.

You are so not alone. I'm a 50 year old woman who had chips and dip for breakfast because that was the thing that required the least effort. No one at the office needs to know I haven't managed to get showered and properly dressed yet. I can't quit this job ever, because any other job would require me to be up and dressed and fed and at the office by a specific time in the morning, and I don't think I can do that anymore.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

STEEL CUT, FOUR PORTIONS AT A TIME, MADE IN THE EVENING.

My CIO just said "Bull...bull...bull poopie." She's mad.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I failed at the getting dressed part too, because these pants aren't quite as clean as I thought they were.

At least I have cute shoes on.

Anybody up for another round of what shoes are you wearing today?

But that would require eating oatmeal.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

And my boss hates me.

In the case of your boss, isn't that a compliment?

Because books.

I'm barefoot.

Working at home, I'm always going to lose this game.

In the case of your boss, isn't that a compliment?

Not if she decides to fire me.

She's the worst communicator in the world. Half the time she either doesn't answer an email with a direct question in it, or she answers another question entirely. In a half-assed way.

I'm wearing one tensor bandage. I lose.

Lee, you like salt and caramel, and not lightly sweetened steel cut oats (made with milk and buttermilk) with freshly grated nutmeg and a handful of fresh organic blueberries? Sad to be you.

I know this [link] isn't as violating as an upskirt, but it's still a little bit creepy at least, no? I mean, if you catch it in your picture fine. But it seems the photographer went to some effort to isolate body parts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In general, taking a picture of someone who doesn't know you're taking their picture is at least a little bit creepy.

I think I'm wearing the same sandals I was last time we played this! But my toenails are a nice apple green.
