Burrell, I'm so sorry. Much peace and strength to all of you.
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

What gets me irate these days is seeing yet another post with the tag "if you share this, Jesus will bless you." God isn't a gumball machine -- you don't put a prayer in and get a blessing back.
Of course, the woman I did snap at a ways back for that is currently in the hospital with radiation-induced pneumonia. So maybe my carping is bad luck for the carpee.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, Burrell.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I hope this is chemo-related, Burrell, and your sister improves very soon.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh, Burrell. I'm keeping you and your sister in my thoughts.

Computer training in person was usually so boredom that I viewed it as an exercise in how fast I could switch between what we were being trained in and solitaire.

Fuck. My boss (one of them. My boss' boss) wants to talk to me. I don't know what about and I am freaking out!

Burrell, so sorry about your sister. Hoping it's transient chemo-induced and means the chemo is working.
I'm on an educational webinar, and the guy just said to close everything else on your computer to participate. Yeah, no -- wouldn't you die of boredom without other things to do during a webinar??
This is what smartphones are for?
"Weaving skill ropes" is what I'm learning on this webinar.
...WTF???
