I haven't had any dark chocolate covered coffee beans all week. I'm a little twitchy.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Ann, that's a ferret.
ita, I think you just discovered a category beyond TMI.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Mom didn't seem too out out about waiting for results. I call bullshit but she won't make a fuss.

Cash, good grief.
Jesse, thanks for the link to Holli's article.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'd want results too, Cash. Thinking of your mom.
My sister is having a sleepy day. Not sure what's up with that. The days are up and down, and it's hard to judge what's just a bad day and what's a sign of significant decline.

I'll admit I kept the sound off just in case, but he looked like he was having fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know what's annoying? Having a mosquito bite on one's face.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
When I got into work the gate hadn't been propped open, so I hopped out and began shove-skip-shoving it open. It's always been our policy to keep it open during outages for emergency vehicles and such. Turns out they changed that policy on me as the ED rushed out to stop me. Dude, I'm not parking on the street and hobbling all the way in from there.
Then he put his hands on my shoulders and said "I just want you to know that I fired DD".
Oh, okay (yesyesyes!). He had a board member with him when he did it. Apparently there was screaming. He perp walked her out to the street and when he came back he was shaking from the things she said to him. She also threatened to sue.
We're all gonna have to pick up a lot of slack, but from what we also suspect, we would have had to do that anyway. I just feel relieved. I do fear that new boss lady is still her buddy and that I'll have to be cautious about what I say.

'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"
Eesh! That's a little too much drama!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh dear God my Buffistas! So much love and rage and sadness and fist-shaking and kicking at the darkness for Kate and her friend (sometimes I think I've been close to that place because it's been so bad for me, but even from the worst of where I was I can't imagine how much more intolerable the pain must have been for her that this seemed reasonable and right), and Cash (all vibes to your mom and her results and extra kicks to the vacationing doctor -- as someone who works for doctors, I feel qualified to call that pure horseshit), and Burrell and her sisters and the misery of having to go to work and hold it together when it's practically killing you to do so, and extra kicks with my stompy cowgirl boots to the stupid fucking assholes on ita !'s so-called "team."
RAGE.
October 2013, you're atrociously bad at Octobering. You're supposed to be all crisp leaves and harvest moons and bats and costumes and pumpkin Peeps, not grief and sorrow and shutdowns and more misery than good people deserve to bear. October 2013, you SUCK.
