I can do it, Kat.
msbelle, Austin City Limits will be fantastic! I wish I could come with you.

Kat, send it to me and I can read and edit. Let me know what kind of feedback you’d prefer.

PS I apparently lost my debit card today also.
And I am dreading the fallout with Tino once our supervisor has a chat with him about over-the-top ridiculous behavior.

Good for you, msbelle.
Several cars were keyed on my block last night. Mine was one. I will have had it a year, tomorrow. It'll annoy me every time I see it, but I think the thing that irks me the most, that I'm trying not to dwell on, is that there are humans with this level of casual disregard. 'Hey, let's key all the newish cars on the block! Because we can!' Yeah, you didn't even get any goods from it. So small, so pointless. Robbery makes more sense.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Argh, people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Tinoest response to an issue around here was tech support saying (to a group who has worked around so many times they're now not allowed) "Can you find a workaround? I'm tired."

oh my god, ita. really?
My other favorite tino moment from the past two days is, after I said she wasn't an expert and I questioned her and parsed her sentences down to point out that just circling verbs doesn't work because "use" is not really the skill we want to teach she said, "You know what I mean."
I said, "No. And if a student gave me evidence in an essay but didn't do any explanation/justification but merely said, 'you know what I mean' I'd fail them."
So all morning the catchphrase became "You know what I mean."

Clearly, tino and his ilk have multiplied.
