"ESCAPE FIRE Move Screening"
It took me some time to unpack that this was a "movie" and not a directive.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I set my new tablet Google Voice alert to the bionic flex noise, and my cubemate is very pleased. I don't know if he's noticed my general alert is the Bewitched nose twitch, but he has no idea how overstimulated it's about to get up in there.
My job can be bad for taking granted, but if you do try and set boundaries they are pretty good about letting you--it just shouldn't be your job to make your job not kill you.
And if the guy in question is not doing what he's supposed to, we'd know by now. We'd hear the noise. So either he was madly overpaid before, or...I don't understand the oversight. I've seen his quasi-parallels with less weight on their shoulders show some apparent movement. But, as noted, this is the first paycheque convo I've ever had here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was just reminded over the weekend that I used to have "Hold On, I'm Coming" for my ringer, and I miss it.

Okay, so the vegetarian spring rolls are an unqualified success. So much so that somebody maybe needs to come over and eat some so I stop cramming them in my face.

I slept most of the day, trying to shake a bad headache. So now I'm working to make up the time even though I'm already in overtime land.
One way to feel appreciated, even if it isn't in my paycheck, is when I see that someone has actually budgeted time for me on their project. Since I work with project budgets day in and day out, I see all the projects where they forget to include time for me.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks all, for the sympathy throughout the day.
shrift, have you done anything with Dino 101 yet? I need to do that.

Other than taking the Getting to Know You survey, nope. I should do that. But first I desperately need to clean the bathroom.

Hivemind question from CJ. He needs a children's book for his Sign Language III class but it can't be Dr. Suess. He didn't like anything I suggested, so I mentioned the hive and he said I should ask y'all. (Crossposted with Bitches)

Because books.
Something by Sandra Boynton? The Going to Bed Book, maybe? (Moo Baa La La La might have too many sounds?)
Or Goodnight Moon!
