Aw Scrappy, it is tough thing to do.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am getting more and more convinced that I am not fit for work.
Work is not fit for you.
"I hate everything" is the exact phrase I said to my therapist yesterday. Seriously, if I had to go back to working in the office, with my boss popping up at my desk like a miniature Beelzebub fifty times a day, I'd lose my mind. I am no longer fit for work that involves F2F contact with other humans. Never really was, but I can't fake it any more. I would have to take so many drugs. I totally grok those people who say fuck all this and go live in a box under a bridge. Like, if my only choice was between working retail again or living in my van? Fuck it, I've got an air mattress and a portable fridge, I'm out.
Scrappy, I'm sorry you have to do that; that has to suck.
Pneumatic tubes are amazing. My bank still has them at the drive-through. *sssshhhhkkkk* *clank*

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Zen, this made me thing of you:

Going Walden
The often ill-conceived decision to live without connective technologies for a period of time in order to cleanse the spirit. “While we’re in Bali,” said Harry, “what if we went totally Walden?”

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Your job sucks, msbelle. It's not you, it's them.
Ugh, Scrappy. That's a no-fun day for sure!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
There's something deeply wrong with a workplace culture that makes people as uber capable as msbelle and juliana feel unfit for work. They're the problem, not you.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I got a wierd call from my boss yesterday. Internal audit had called him about my timesheets, asking general audit questions and questions about teleworking. I'm not an official teleworker. By the time I looked into making it official this year, they said they weren't approving any new requests. Plus, the teleworking requirements would cost me more money than I'd like to spend.
He said not to worry about anything but just wanted to give me a head's up. To that I say, wtf?

I killed Natter. Oooops.
Teppy - wanted to say thanks for your help with 504 resources. We had our meeting last week and were able to address a bunch of stuff. Now it is just a matter of both the teachers AND CJ doing their parts. So far so good - he has 1 A, 2 B's and 2 C's. And the B's are close to A's with the C's being close to B's - so at least he isn't starting in a hole.

That's excellent!
