Ex sounds like a nightmare, Strix. She needs some kind of psychic containment field.
I just got a kind of exciting assignment -- not often do the fundraisers have a key time-sensitive role!
Groovy!
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Sophia, might the problem be with the charging cable, not the phone itself? I've found those cables get a bit wonky after a while.

Agreed, Burrell...although your plans is much more...pacific than mine, shall we say? Celt blood will out...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Strix, I'll pony up $ for a lawyer fund and/or a RAMPAGE fund. Whatever you need; the money's not earmarked.

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.
The satisfaction of the tale of Dan getting a little of his own back from the nasty ex would be a definite perk of contributing to a Kickstarter fund.
ETA: Also, photos of the ex's face when the reality hits her that she is not going to get everything her way. That would be a good perk.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Strix, I'm sorry you had a rough weekend and sorry Dan's Ex is a whirling psychobitch, but:
If I have start a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for legal fee, D is finally ready to fight, and he's finally letting be untie my hands and do what I do best.
FUCK YES. If you Kickstarter that shit, I will joyfully contribute to that fight. Good on Dan for standing up to her!

Celtic high five! (Put the battleaxe in the other hand first.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I just had to tell my staff member I'm promoting that we can't give her as much money as she thinks she should get. I appreciate her moxie, but I don't think my boss will, and don't even want to bring it to her. Ugh! She [my boss] already thought the jump we were offering might be too big, which I strenuously objected to. I hate being in the middle -- if the salary budget were my budget, I would feel some control over what I was offering and how I wanted to counter.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
A while ago, I came across a co-worker who had been on the way out, but was on the phone with a friend and sobbing. Turns out she was the only person on staff who did not get a raise this year. She was told that she didn't deserve a raise because of her chronic tardiness (usually 5-10 minutes a day); however, she'd noticed that another woman, who's almost always late and is out a lot, got a raise. The co-worker attributed it to having challenged her boss on something earlier. I kind of patted her and talked her down, but she was still upset and angry.
Meanwhile, I got a 2.5 percent raise which, because of taxes, leaves me with less take-home pay than I had in December. sigh ....

That sucks, Jesse.
I am glad I finally figure out how I screwed up my credit cards in Feb. I didn't pay one of them, and then got a late fee and interest, and couldn't figure out why I hadn't paid it--did I not get the bill? Finally today looked at the bill for a different card, and realized what happened--I paid that card twice--once the amount that was owed, and once the amount I SHOULD have paid the other card. Note to self--pay more attention when using online bill pay!!
