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

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.

Holy crap!

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I called in a body once when I was a kid, but it turned out not to be a body, but a guy sleeping in the woods (it was along our seekrit path between the church and the mall, not that I have any experience about walking to the mall when I was supposed to be at church, no not at all, I don't know what you're talking about) and they just made him move along, which I then felt bad for. But he looked dead, and we couldn't see him breathing, and didn't investigate any further.
