And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So, tomorrow I have a daylong job interview in which I will be talking to six separate people at this company. Yesterday I maybe could have handled it, when I was still in shock. Tonight, something finally cracked and now I can't stop crying. Let's hope tomorrow I can fake being an extrovert who isn't in mourning for seven or eight hours...

Strix, I have no words. FUCK this week sideways.

"Persephone, I went as far as to think the infinitive of the verb was "to misle". I didn't find out until university, at which point my sister realized she'd independently made the same mistake."

True fact: to this day I have to remind myself that "to misle" is not a real verb.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Oh, shit, Strix. The fuck is wrong with the world?

“Not dead yet!”

Jesus H., Strix-- I saw your VagueBook and came here to see if you'd gone into more detail.

I am so, so, so sorry for you, honey.

And this week? Can go suck dead moose dick.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good luck, Jessica. I wish you whatever you need to get through that day and land the job.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Strix, I am so sorry. Thinking of you.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

"Persephone, I went as far as to think the infinitive of the verb was "to misle". I didn't find out until university, at which point my sister realized she'd independently made the same mistake."
True fact: to this day I have to remind myself that "to misle" is not a real verb.

Happy to be in such good company.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm sorry, Strix. That is just egregious piling on.

I'm sorry, Strix.

Jessica, fingers crossed that you fake it until you make it tomorrow.

True fact: to this day I have to remind myself that "to misle" is not a real verb.

I think my first mangled pronunciation of a word I'd only read before was "ennui." Pretty sure it went something like "en-you-eye" because I didn't know its origin was with cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

I thought "awry" was pronounced "AW-ree," and that the word I heard people SAY every so often was "arigh."

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

I thought "mausoleum" was pronounced maw-SO-leeum. Even now I have to think about it. Usually I just say tomb.
