OMG octopuses are my favorite! When I was growing up, we had a family friend who ran a small aquarium and his octopus used to sneak out of his tank at night and predate on the other inhabitants.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
This is happening at my workplace right now. [link] It's kind of a circus.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just hit some kind of wall and I am just done putting up with this day. Could not tell you what the trigger was, but something, apparently. Unfortunately, I still have a bunch of work to do. Argh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I went to the airport and passed my Global Entry interview! I'm very excited, and really want to plan a trip out of the country now.

Also, I caught up on a lot of podcasts, what with the hour-each-way trip on public transportation. But at least that part was free.

Although, I'm not sure when I became a person who is willing to be fingerprinted by the government in order to avoid some lines?

Eh, my fingerprints have been on file for decades so I will not look askance. And more generally, plans travel means kissing privacy goodbye anyway, increasingly.

I'm already printed for work.
Spent over 4 hrs doing paperwork and going over benefit sign up and various other admin stuff. Brain broke. TIAACREF or Fidelity? Then which funds (I am not savvy enough to do brokerage and custom money msnaging.) Times two because I will have 401(a) and 403(b). At least insurance is easy?
Every time I'd start feeling a complete failure as an adult (could not remember how many deduction I take-cmon, I last did this 19 years ago) an older colleague would ask a question that was even dumber and I'd feel marginally more competent. Yay?
