Hour 2:30 of hold time with TurboTax. Someone's going to have to die. I'm very sorry about that, but it's just how it is.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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

Sounds about right to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes. Just yikes.

Sure, but what if I need to use my computer for stuff??
I tether my computer to my phone quite often. Probably daily. Sometimes at work to get around a filter. Often at places where I am waiting. I love a good personal hotspot.
I saw a dead guy on the street on our way home from work. It was disconcerting, but moreso when LAPD called and wanted to meet with me to discuss it. When I pointed out I was driving by and I just called it in, they were less interested in me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kat, that's disturbing. I hope you're okay.

Come to find out, the conference access works in the rooms, so that's good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Today I discovered that I made a nearly $12,000 mistake at work, but at least there wasn't a dead guy.

Yipes, Kat! That is very disturbing, and kind of heartbreaking. Homeless?

Burrell, I don't know. IT was outside of a charter school. Three people were congregated around the body, one was nudging the guy with his foot and there was no response. I was watching his chest to see if he was breathing (from the car - we were stopped at a light) and it didn't appear that he was. So I called 911. They seemed to find it weird that I didn't stick around at the location.
Definitely heartbreaking.
$12,000 mistakes are pretty scary.
