The language thing I saw an article on (in Slate, I think) that I loved and wanted for english was regarding "we" and "us". Distinguishing between "me and other folks but not you" and "me and you (and maybe other folks too)".
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well, it is likely to take as long to explain what you mean by oxt as it would to explain whether you mean in 2 days or 9.
Right!

The current gate assignment for my NYC flight tomorrow morning is right next to a Frontera. I'm going to concentrate on getting Mexican food for breakfast rather than worry about flight delays.

Good god, Maria. That's going to be insane.
Today was populated by stupid people culminating in a twit initiating circle swim without even waiting to see if the lane's occupants were aware of her. I got kicked in the face. So did the other guy. I was furious. I cannot stand that kind of entitlement/lack of self awareness/common sense. It's bullshit.

Oh OH! And my company fucked up the transfer of monies from the old HSA to the new. I have no idea where my money is. And I'm not the only one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would like to go to Frontera. And then anywhere on a plane.

We'll see how this goes. Shit is going to fall through the cracks. This is a big country.
Well, sure - that's why there are supposed to be several of you covering different parts, yes? I'd be nervous about pulling it off perfectly, what if they want you to handle it alone permanently? Welcome to employment in the 21st century, I have obviously been traumatized by this in the past.

Is it too early to start drinking heavily?
If anything, it's slightly too late. You'd better hop to it, you have some catching up to do.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I am against people getting kicked in the face, metaphorically or otherwise. Therefore I am giving the side-eye to those who are doing the kicking.

This is going to be fun in all the ways that aren't.
Maria, I was too busy unfucking things at work today to express my dismay over your new work situation.
I would like to go to Frontera. And then anywhere on a plane.
This is my strategy for dealing with my life right now. I may have named the saved search for job hunting, "Fly, you fools!"
Sorry about the all the god damn snow?
