Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay Consuela for TCB but sorry to hear it was so very onerous.

t checking

Nope, my rage returns at seeing

No pay raises confirmed for 2014

in my inbox a day later.

Mind you, this is for everyone on the subcontract. Main contract is proceeding with COLA and merit (budget is fine) increases per usual.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh.

I was listening to This American Life on my way to work, and got blindsided with "Mama, I'm Sorry"! I'm hoping people thought I had allergies and/or a cold, and not that I was just crying on the bus....

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

That sucks, sarameg,

I wish crying were more socially acceptable.

It's an upside of the Modern World of Devices, at least -- I was looking down playing solitaire, and most other people were looking at their own phones or whatever, I am sure.

I am in a revolutionary mood. What can I overthrow?

OK, where is everyone?

Art Crawl!!!

I'm here but uh. . . I have no revolutionary ideas.

But if your revolution could wind up throwing some chocolate my way, I'd appreciate it. (Redistribute the chocolate to the masses!)

Because books.

You could overthrow ... Switzerland? Just for fun?
