Allyson, do people at your work know about ita? Or the relevant people (boss, anyone you directly support)? I feel like they should be cutting you a huge swath of slack right now.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
But I am a dick who will not let it go if someone, say, INSISTS the first line of Moby Dick is "They call me Ishmael." NO THE FUCK IT IS NOT. I'll argue that even though I don't like the book BECAUSE IT IS PROVABLY WRONG.
I cannot let it go if someone is PROVABLY WRONG. "We aren't going to "agree to disagree", dammit, you're wrong." I remember an argument I had with a guy in high school because he was insisting that in the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still, the robot was named Klaatu, and I informed him that he was wrong, the robot was Gort, the alien was Klaatu. Well, obviously, I couldn't be right because I'm a girl. I hope one day he realized that a girl had beat him at sci-fi trivia. Arguments like that are a hell of a lot easier to win now, thanks to the Internet and IMDB and such.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
You know those days when people keep asking you to do things you have never been asked to do before as if it was a normal part of your job you should know about? And then half the normal tasks you try to do have weird issues that require you to get help from various people, none of whom respond quickly or possibly at all?
Yeah.
And I think my body has gone anemic.

Geez, looks like a lot of people need hugs on National Hug Day. Hugs all around.
I spoke to my mom on the phone and she says she feels 95% better already now that the pain is gone. So yay.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
All of the hugs to everyone. (They fit into the Intertubes!)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And... hell. I just started to type a teasing set of super-snuggly hugs to the non-huggers, and then remembered msbelle informing ita that she was a fluffy bunny, and felt sick all over again. Hugs anyway. Hugs, and possibly gin.
Also, Zenkitty is most definitely Zenkitty or Zen.
