Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Yay Steph!

The monster project that I thought we were free and clear from yesterday came back like a bad penny today. Oh well, at least the clients REALLY wanted to hire us to work on it?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh no, ita. I'm so sorry that work has become such a mess.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I need a certificate for a handmaiden who I only communicate with through text messages who does everything for me.

It's like a magical dreamworld that I never even contemplated.

I really hope it comes true for you. But more than that I wish it weren't so needed.

Speaking of magical dreamworlds, the dog is currently crashed out on a three-high stack of dog beds. (This came about by circumstance, it was not a conscious plan on my part, FTR.) I'm tempted to to slide a pea underneath and call it an art installation.

I, meanwhile, am drinking a badly needed but not-cold-enough beer that I am simulchilling with a freezer pop. CLASSY.

Because books.

Oh, ita. I hope next week when he's really gone everything will smooth out.

Where's the porn, I ask?

Hey, tell me what you like! I'm easy. ::insert winky eye here::

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

tell me what you like! I'm easy. ::insert winky eye here::

Well, now that you mention it...

Tom, English might be the answer, but damn! It's not an article, it's a business document written for US audiences. I take out the "surplus" Us, fix your conjugation!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

A woman hit my car as she was backing out of a parking lot today.

I was all the way out of the space and she apparently did not look and hit my bumper. She is lucky I just wanted to exchange information and not call the police. she didn't have her license with her.

I am okay. She is okay (as is the kid in the back). My car is driveable, the trunk still closes, so now I just have to file reports in triplicate to 10 places.

Did you know in California you have to file a report after an accident? WTF? Especially if the damage is more than $750? I have filled out the report, but I'm waiting to send it until I hear that the damage is that. I assume it is since there is a dent in the trunk and rear bumper. Sneeze on a car and its $1200.

So I was on the phone with insurance for 30+ minutes. Scheduled an estimate. Did a report for California. I feel like I need a gold star for adult business today.

WOO TEP! HOORAY!

You are the wind beneath my wings, brenda.

Also, I think you need a peapod half tucked underneath the bottom mattress so we can still see it, otherwise how will we know there's a pea under there? I'm assuming that that's 21 in dog-mattresses, btw.

So the market segment that they pretty much hired me to analyze is now expected to dry up because of apparent import/export restrictions, and my other accounts are not likely to grow enough to keep me busy. My manager is looking for other opportunities for me. Man, I would not like to get laid off at this point.

Although if I did, I would totally be up for trying my hand at being an instructions-by-text-message handmaiden.

Huh, the handy HTML and quick-edit links don't seem to work.
