Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I didn't get the UCLA position. Nice spiel about how I was next in line, but the person who got it had subject matter expertise that I lacked--well, what can I say.

I am mentally and financially at the breaking point, and will do anything that pays my rent and leaves me with sanity, It's like all my cope and "I have a good feeling about this" and "I've done everything I can" all exploded at the same time.

One of the recruiters says she has a nearby paper pushing gig that will barely pay the bills, but I refuse to get excited about that or anything for quite a while.

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

I'm sorry, ita. That sucks.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oh, ita, I'm so sorry. That's horrid news.

Please look into your disability options. It can take a while to get that in place, but I think you've got a good case.

Aw, I'm sorry, ita. (I'm not so secretly wishing that choice one flames out quickly.)

Oh sorry, ita.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

ita, I'm so sorry.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Sorry, ita.
