I'm sorry, Theo
Yelling at people to get up is bad for my personal calm, and I won't do it.
It's bad for mine too and yet I find myself doing it. It's become pretty toxic and makes me feel sick for many hours afterwards. I should follow your lead and let folks get to school and work late. Or go in pjs or whatever.
I am having massive angst because I have a possible opportunity to help edit a book that, in theory, would be right within my wheelhouse -- science writing aimed to appeal to a general audience -- but I have zip zilch and squat in terms of writing samples to give him. Ugh. Seriously how have I thrown my career in the toilet like this? And what the hell have I been doing with my life? Double ugh!
The only horrifying part was when I was trying to come up with an example for DINAO and I said GWB or Jeb! and my mother was like, "That one's easy! Obviously Jeb."
That is hilarious. In her defense, you did take Death off the table.
Don't beat yourself up, Burrell. That does sound like a cool opportunity!
I have marked that sarcasm story to read later. So interesting! Already I am all "dudes in the 1500s already needed sarcasm punctuation? Damn."
That does sound like a cool opportunity!
Agreed, but probably one I will miss out on -- and rightly so -- because I have nothing to demonstrate that I can do it. And that's all on me.
That is hilarious. In her defense, you did take Death off the table.
She didn't think it was a terrible option! Things I didn't need to know about my mother: would fuck Jeb Bush.
That changes everything, Jesse
Lots of purrs for Chumley.
I will not do a FCM with the three Bush men. Nope nope nope. Not gonna happen.
Unrelatedly, I made it through half of the work day before my headache made me go home. I am counting that as a win.
Haaaa so I guess we're tentatively scheduling my start date for July 6th although I'll be doing 50/50 work while we get someone in for my position and I train in the new position. So I'll probably be out in SF in July looking for a place to live, and actual moving may be Aug/Sept.
Ugh now I have to be a grown up and break the news to roommate and landlord.
