There was a cute swingy chevron dress at ann taylor. Is that the one you are thinking of, -t?

I don't remember anything about it except I liked it and it won one of those winning-design-gets-commercially-produced challenges. So, maybe?

That sounds wonderful Dana (the Golden Girls part)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The thought of Alan Rickman as Dorothy is so perfectly right that my brain can't entirely comprehend it.

Your friend should email back a picture of the expression on the bank teller's face when he/she tries to deposit a photo of a check.

Maybe he's been watching too many of those "you can deposit a check by taking a picture on your phone" commercials, and took it to the next logical step?

Ugh. Am feeling very pissy and butthurt about something at work. I need to shake it off but what I really want to do is bitch up a storm.

OK, John Oliver is being awesome:

That WAS awesome. His attack ad on Mitch McConnell was traumatizing, however. Hilarious, but traumatizing.

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

I spent a day feeling like my job was secure and now they've replaced the CEO. They've also replaced the CIO all the way down to just above my boss, and they may move my application to a guy that works in the Midwest.

I want to not be a panicky person, but it's hard.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Connie!

And sorry about the leaky, msbelle.

I just saw my daughter's ballroom dance recital! OMG! The kids were so fabulous, and all dressed up, and it was wonderful. Franny is right at that stage where the big girl starts to peek out from the little girl. Then ate a bite for breakfast/lunch, but likely not enough, only it'll have to be as I need to go take care of my neck next. Then home, and I hope some rest.

Oh, dear, ita. I hope your job is actually more secure than it feels right now.

Aw, ballroom!
