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

Typo, you have trouble believing in three assholes? Knowing three assholes? Trusting three guys with impulse control issues and poor judgement?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Suing sounds about right, but I also wonder if it's not the groom who's the asshole.

So I just found out that to get out of my lease, I had to give three months' notice AND pay a penalty. Shit, man.

Jesse, that's ridiculous! How is giving three months notice getting out of a lease? Can you sublet or something? When is it actually up?

Because books.

When do you want to leave, Jesse?

I have a hard time believing he can be the only asshole in that scenario. If he's Pol Pot, maybe you take the tickets and run. Or maybe you never agree to be in the wedding at all, you know?

There is my skepticism.

I have a 1 on 1 with the CIO next week (I hope to be able to sit upright for a full day before then), and HR promises to find my boss by the end of the day. Woohah? I cannot, however, find the inputs for the output I'm committed to.

So I'm working on timesheets. That is what I've come to. But doing them during work hours is new, especially since I don't know how to book my timesheet filling time.

I'm moving at Thanksgiving, and I'll just pay I guess. Maybe I could sublet, but that seems like a lot of effort.

I have a hard time believing he can be the only asshole in that scenario.

Oh of course -- at best, they are all assholes.

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

Just say: I don't think I can go to your wedding! These guys are worse than the Hangover men.

Hey, the Hangover guys made it to the wedding, at least.

HR promises to find my boss by the end of the day

A new one, you mean?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

If he's Pol Pot, maybe you take the tickets and run.

I'm wondering what Pol Pot's wedding was like now.

Also, the plane tickets are probably considered a gift and therefore not sue-able, although maybe Judge Judy would be able to extract the money, because she doesn't seem entirely concerned with jurisprudence. (Okay, I've only seen like one episode of Judge Judy, but my comment still stands.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There's like an implied contract or something!

Judge Judy would have a few things to say. I love her.
