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

Oh my god, Becky!

Friday jury duty does not seem right.

I picked up breakfast at Panera this morning to eat my desk. It is delicious, but I don't know how people eat breakfast at work as a regular thin. It is exponentially harder that eating lunch at my desk.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

She has, like, negative tact. I swear to god. Negative tact and not a clue. I love her, but wow.

I saw that and thought, dang, MY mom would do that, too. Like, she's just stating a fact...that happens to be insulting to someone standing right there. But it's JUST A FACT! Lots of people don't feel that way, so it's okay!

My mom would totally do that. (Actually, I have an aunt who does that on the regular. I'll post a picture after a haircut and she'll comment with "I liked your hair longer." OKAY THEN.)

Because books.

Oh, MOM. Oops.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ha! msbelle is so not a Becky.

When I had jury a couple of years ago it was Friday, February 14. I got a lot of reading done that day.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ugh, Plei. Tone deaf. I'm sorry the family is riding the tactless wave this week.

Becky? Oh hell no. msbelle, you may be the nicest, but I'm not. I know people. You want that the offender should disappear?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Ha! msbelle is so not a Becky.

My first thought as well. Why would you ever shorten someone's name without knowing that they went by that nickname? Especially in a business setting.

Plei, ugh. I'm sorry your family is being so difficult this week.

This post brought to you by OMG, MOTHER! I AM GOING TO CRAW UNDER A TABLE NOW AND BOGGLE.

On the plus side, now that your brother and mother have both checked in this week with their their particular character sets, we appreciate your awesomeness EVEN MORE.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh my goodness, Plei, I just came across that. Since it isn't my mother, it kind of made me giggle, but I imagine it is not funny if it is your mother.

hwæt

I've never had to say "please don't call me Tommy" to anyone more than once. Maybe they can sense the rage right below the surface.
