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.
Zoe: So you two were kissin'? Book: Well. Isn't that... special?

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, dear, ita. I hope your job is actually more secure than it feels right now.
Aw, ballroom!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Today at work is the memorial event for my boss. I'd be just fine holding it together if people would stop asking if I'm okay.

I am THINKING VERY HARD at everyone to stop asking you that, aurelia.
