Heh. I woke up at 6 for no reason, so I've already had a fair amount of sitting around as well.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Feel better soon, Grace!

Aw, poor Grace. I hope she's feeling better soon.
I am back at work after an extra long weekend. It's the Monday-est Thursday ever!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Poor Gracie! And poor Kat. I hope she's feeling better very soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am at work wearing shorts and a t-shirt and it feels SO WEIRD

I bet, -t. I know some professors who will wear cargo shorts and tevas to work, but I can't hang with that.

Ditto. I cook with Vermouth fairly often.
My mother used to keep a bottle of dry vermouth around just for that reason. Somehow, I just never picked up the habit, but I think I need to. I rarely have white wines in the house and when they are they are usually semi-sweet/dry; I don't like really dry wines.
Despite the fact I work "on campus," in that I work for the School of Medicine and Public Health, we are all located in/adjacent to the hospital, which sets the tone. Therefore, while we technically have casual Fridays, in practice we wear exactly the same thing we wear during the rest of the week. No jeans or shorts, ever, which is so different from the rest of campus. At least I can wear capris, all week, even. And hospital employees are even more restricted, you don't even want to know.

I hope Grace's fever breaks soon, and that you got some sleep, Kat.
Burrell, a good friend has just started at your Uni. I am so excited to have them in LA, because we think we may see them more often now.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Lots of vibes to Gracie (and you!), Kat.
Ugh, Maria, such utter rancid bullshit. Time to make an escape plan -- even if you pull off a miracle, all that'll happen is that they'll think that you can pull off miracles regularly and it's just fine to throw more impossible bullshit on you.
My workplace is about to head into utter turmoil -- the new(ish, 3 years) division chief just formally announced his resignation, publicly because of an exciting new opportunity he couldn't pass up but privately because of exciting new opportunity giving him an escape hatch from the entrenched dysfunction and systemic pettiness that were sucking the marrow out of his soul. His personal assistant, who moved here from Seattle to continue being his personal assistant, is ever so slightly freaking right the fuck out.
And in completely other news, Rage!Nurse has died. I don't even know what to feel, but all I can muster at the moment is relief. And then shame at feeling nothing but relief at the news of someone's death.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A moment of silence for Rage!Nurse. May her ragings at long last come to an end.
