Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I want the Comic Sans font. How are you doing this witchcraft, Gud?

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

Is that something you can do with CSS? Change Comic Sans into something else? Or change everything into Comic Sans?

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

I seem to be logged on to Bizarro!Buffistas today.

ahhhh, the meeting from Hades. My boss was running it (you know it's a disaster right there). The Webex didn't work, so the telecommuters were just sitting there, waiting for it to connect and it never did. They tried to call in, unaware she'd changed the conference code. We always use the same one; people have it programmed into their phones. But she changed it, and so they couldn't hear the meeting either. People were messaging me in confusion and by the time they were in, the important part of the meeting was over, and now no one knows how to do the new thing that's about to be implemented. I didn't hear it either, because I was so busy trying to get other people into the meeting! Just... honestly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I've seen this shared on FB, but I don't think it's popped up here. A discussion on "emotional labor" and how it almost always falls to women and is devalued.

It makes me think of how, when my grandfather was in a nursing home, my grandmother expected that my mother would do the majority of X, Y, and Z, even though my uncle was just as accessible.

I have become Bizzaro!Zen. I'm drinking coffee instead of Mountain Dew. I like Comic Sans. I don't care what you do with the Oxford comma. I just ate a brown banana and it didn't make me gag. Yesterday I cleaned a bathroom and today I will clean another one. I shipped all my eBay packages on the same day they sold! Later I might eat cilantro and find it tasty! WHAT WORLD IS THIS YOU DON'T KNOW ANYMORE

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Someday I want to write/think deeply on the emotional labor of doing costumes, and how that makes it different than lights, sound and set. It is sort of a chicken-egg thing- by our nature, people doing wardrobe are physically closer to the actors, so it sort of makes sense that we take care of them, but in my experience in smaller theatres costumes/wardrobe are the lowest paid and/or are somehow non-union while the set crew are union.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Dana, the original piece on the Toast was written by an old friend of mine! She's fantastic (obviously).

Worry if a goatee spontaneously appears, Zen.

I'm perimenopausal, it could happen.
