Y'all are real people, right?
I am totally real, not fictional, not a cartoon character. Honest. You can trust me.

Talky meat!
I had to pull in the reins on a young man who was indulging in mutual trash talk with another guy in a neighboring cubicle. He's not a bad guy, a bit overly macho, well-versed in the Utah culture of "Men are appointed of God to be in charge of the household." I, however, have Mom status. His trash talk went into a gay-slur direction, which surprised an outraged "Dude!" out of me. He looked shocked and said "What!" "The gay jokes are getting old." He looked utterly baffled, then chastened, "I'll do better."
Unfortunately, he has no clue as to *why* he shouldn't be making these kinds of jokes, but better he be mad at me than HR get involved--a point I haven't mentioned yet. Sadly, I am apparently no longer "fun". I think I'll cope. Because the next step is telling my manager, who will get to have a talk about basic procedure in a workspace.

Negative. I am a meat popcicle.
I think you might need to turn on the heat.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am waiting on my coworker to finish her art of something so I can do mine. I have asked her about it repeatedly. I am worried about my chances of leaving on time.

I'm seeing different stories, but all seem to say suspect in custody.

Sheesh, msbelle, hope you're safe.
I'm fictional, but apparently not perimenopausal yet according to the last hormone screening I did, which is sort of disappointing, really. I'm not planning on using my reproductive organs, other than, you know, the external ones recreationally, so I'm good to shut the systems down at any point now.
Y'all, what am I doing arguing with this person on facebook? On someone else's page, even? Do I think I'm going to convince him of the error of his ways, or make him understand the privilege he's currently enjoying? No. Then why am I spending my extremely limited energy on him?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
So the last two days were pretty nice, weather-wise. No rain, temps in the 70s. So what's predicted for the weekend? Rain, and temps in the high 50s/low 60s.
