We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Because books.

So my boss just asked if I have enough to do, and felt it necessary to point out that "we're all killing ourselves here and I need to make sure remote employees are too."

I guess I was silly not to realize I should be INTUITING their needs, rather than expecting them to email me if they need me to do certain things.

meara watched me steal a salt shaker at the Chicago F2F. But I did it to be a good hostess -- it was to abet tequila shots! And I returned it on Sunday.

Handwritten thank yous make me raise my eyebrows a little bit.

I always sent handwritten TY notes after each professional interview, on simple yer elegant TY cards I bought for the purpose. But I am a ridiculously overprepared Virgo interviewer.

I need to remember not to look at work email after hours. BECAUSE OF THE RAGE.

I'm pretty sure I once walked out of a restaurant with a glass in my hand. It might have had something alcoholic in it.

My phone screen for the new job went well - I'm talking to the hiring manager next week about a possible interview.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That poor kid! PLEEEAZZZE I'm glad he got money in compensation for being mocked for his guilt meltdown. He will never steal anything ever.

Once, on the way back to my place from the college cafeteria with my then-boyfriend, he pulled two full sets of flatware from his jacket and presented them to me. I was flustered, but, you know, I did need flatware. I rationalized it as a small rebate on my tuition.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I recall a dinner at a barbecue joint with a number of NY Buffistas, at which one or more of their sauce bottles departed the restaurant in the possession of a Buffista. (This is not the only time that an evening with Buffistas introduced me to exciting new crime.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

billytea, remember that we need the definition of 'over-servicing', preferentially one that's SFW.

I can't remember stealing anything deliberately from a restaurant. However, if you hand me a pen to sign something, I'll automatically try to put it in my purse because apparently my lizard brain is convinced ALL YOUR PENS BELONG TO US.
