Because books.

Well, I hope she gets smacked, proverbially or otherwise, at some point.

It's sort of stupid how good a trip to Target sometimes feels. I mean, it's just toothpaste and stuff, not the Hope Diamond.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

You should take a person with you to smack her. We can start a volunteer squad.

The masseuse said, somewhat horrified, "Your back has never been this tight." I explained that I'd spend several days sleeping on a bed that was not my own.

There was much rejoicing on both our parts when my back finally stopped resisting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is genius! I would be more than happy to be someone's Surly Buddy at difficult appointments.

I'm so exhausted. I wanted to call in sick and sleep the day away, but the building construction during the day is too loud. So I am at work juggling fireballs.

I'm always happy to put the smack down on someone else's behalf. I get to feel all righteous and shit. Way more so than when it's for me.

I feel ya shrift, I really, really do.

I'm just burnt out on all levels. Friend asked me (specifically about work) when it would let up. "When I get used to it." Everything feels that way right now.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Honestly, doing that might be my dream job.

I'm just burnt out on all levels.

Because everything's on fire? Yeah, I just got back from 5 days off and I'm already overwhelmed again.

I was told that I needed to be more visible. Now I'm too visible and everyone's sending me everything.

The news is warning that if you see any alligators around thanks to the flooding, not to mess with them. Or snakes.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think that if I saw any alligators even if there *weren't* any flooding, I wouldn't mess with them. Just to be sure.
