I don't think it's a spoiler to tell you he gets better.
If I'm crying over a cop played by Enver, you think little things like that stop me?

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have to say, the idea of anyone getting Little Black Dressed by Bowie/Sinatra is delightful.

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

Fantastic, Anne!
Hah, ita!
People did not eat enough cupcake. EAT people. I'm ready to start roaming the halls giving away cupcakes.

Congrats Anne!!
I made it in and out of the cupcake store to buy a present for my sister without eating a cupcake--even though they were giving aeay a free one with purchase. ...I am so not cut out for dieting, I've only been doing it a week and a half and I feel like it's been forever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Anne!
I told one of my reports she is getting a raise, and she almost passed out. The two events were unconnected, so yikes! I hope she has actually gone home.

While I have gotten a little better than industry stardard raises in the past, this year...I'm glad to have a job and any bump is going to be a surprise.
I didn't have as stellar a year this year, not that I did bad or caused problems. But we are graded by "Meets expectations", "Exceeds Expectations", and "Does not meet expectations". If you work you heart out every year - how do you ever get Exceeds. That is everyone's expectation of you.
But it is more about the "voluntary" retirements, the layoffs, the mandatory PTO, and the (early rumors) of a furlough program that make me think that anything we get will be lucky.
I'm about ready to leave the office. Headache settling in from the HVAC. And my boss wasn't even here today.
