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

Why was that more fun than doing my own work (also messing around in Excel)?

ETA although really truly my work right now is "waiting for this report to update so I can use the data"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You totally saved my life!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

{Should I admit that I don't really understand the Angel quote? It never made sense to me. I don't want to be shunned. Like I said, moral philosophy is hard}

Here's the whole quote: "If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters...then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is. What we do. Now. Today."

Which I took as, if there's no heaven/afterlife, then what we do isn't going to affect whether we end up in heaven or hell. And since all we have is right now, what we do matters, because it affects our here and now.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Steph's reading of that quote is the same as mine.

I am beyond tired and I have one class that actually ruins my day. Not because the kids, but because the class itself BLOWS. And that's my fault (along with the district's fault).

Grr. Argh.

Anyhow, in other news, I just read Nimona and I loved it. Have any of you read it? It would be a good one for Faye who was looking for comic book requests (I think).

I love Nimona SO MUCH.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

This morning, I stopped at Trader Joe's on the way in and bought 6 bags of Baconesque and 2 bags of Chicago Mix for the library snacks.

I didn't get here until 10:30 (went back to bed thanks to my tree sex headache) and the popcorn didn't get put out until almost 11.

Half of it is gone already.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nimona is great! I've read the whole thing online and am waiting for my dead-tree version.

Nimona left me with so many feels! Enough so that I just bought Lumberjanes.

Lee, the fact that any is still left is a testament to your self-control, cause I'd just eat it all.

Me too, although I haven't read it yet.

Oh, I only had a little. It's everyone else in the office eating it, and then coming back with other people for more.
