Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

Presumably that's the sensible course, but this is Texas. (Also, the alligators may be in unexpected places, like streets.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

This made me laugh SO HARD.
