I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, I kind of threw someone under the bus about my work trauma, to my boss -- and I said I would not say that outside of our department! So he just said he's going to say it in a meeting of higher-ups he was on his way to. Not quoting me. This is why he's my favorite.

I hope yesterday's interview goes for your breadth of knowledge, ita.
That sucks, flea. Can your library restrict access for dangerous/disruptive people?
Jesse, I hope your boss can get things worked out for you
And I'm glad diabetic kitty is ok.
I'm home again. My cat seemed happy to see me, and my apartment is cool and quiet. So nice.

Thanks, Calli. Sadly, no one can really get this situation worked out, at least not in the short term. Even more sadly, I'm afraid our fanciest higher-up just did 100% the wrong thing in response. BUT NO ONE ASKED ME.

Cat is home from Cat Hospital -- and because he never needed an IV run, they knocked $300 off the estimated bill. Currently he's discovered the screen window and is gazing down on the backyard.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Trying to figure out what to do with my folks that won't involved a lot of walking, as my mom's sciatica is still acting up. Will brainstorm with Gary when he gets home.

I am home where there is wine and many treats to eat. But I can't even decide what I feel like! Apple pie cake? Cheese and crackers? Popcorn? Pumpkin ice cream? I think cheese and crackers might be the winner.

Come to find out, the actual answer was cheese and crackers AND apple pie cake.

Huh. Something weird just went down on the corner. As I was coming home, I saw a guy hanging out by the stop sign, like a demonstration of what loitering looks like, which is unusual. Got inside and heard sirens, so I looked out a window to see what was happening and there was an ambulance pulled up near the guy, like they were asking directions or something. So I figure maybe he called the ambulance for someone inside the building, go about my business for a bit but look out a window again because I am nosy. Now there's a whole bunch of cops in addition to the medics, and they handcuff the guy who had been hanging around and put him in the back of a squad car. Ambulance drives off with no passengers, as far as I can tell. Hearing more sirens now, but I think farther away.
Weird!
