Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Oh, fuck me, Leslie Odom Jr. is leaving Hamilton July 9th.

Fuck. The universe totally owes you one.

Sigh. Well, the clothes were fine for the date, which seemed awesome (we kayaked for 90 mi Utes and then had dinner and drinks), but then at the end of the date, a quick hug. Oh well. She's very cool, so I'd be her friend, but...

And owwwwwwwwww my shoulders are going to hurt tomorrow. We rowed pretty far and then realized we had to book it to get back before they closed, and the wind was seriously blowing against us. I am not made of upper body strength!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We moved into our new office this morning, and it's very nice, but I'm in a cube directly outside the CEO's office! And right next to his super-chatty EA. I guess this is my office-hours farewell for now.

I have an old high school friend who became Christian, which is fine and all that, but I've noticed lately that he's become more and more conservative. Now he posts anti-gun-control stuff. It seems like such a strange connection to me, but I see it a lot. I wonder why there there is link being being Christian and opposing gun-control measures.

move out and draw fire

Something about turning the other cheek?

For the last 15 years, I've had "remain unindicted" as a career goal.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I just need to post here that I deserve a fucking medal for not losing my shit at my friend who doubled down on the dismissive shit on FB. (I posted about how I loathe the term "sportsball" because it comes across as dismissive and rude as hell, and he replied with "As one of the worst offenders, may I offer you a Snickers?" Because I'm all hangry and irrational, see? It's funny because I'm a woman who's ranting about something stupid! It's not dismissive and rude at all EXCEPT OH WAIT IT IS YOU JACKHOLE.)

I wasn't hangry until his comment. And now I want oatmeal and to punch him in the throat.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I saw that, and was about to politely eviscerate him, Steph. Then I stepped back, did what he should have fucking done, and respected your space.

Solid gold medal for you.

I would not have objected if anyone had been like "Way to double down on the dismissiveness, yo." But I figured my lack of response to his comment was response enough.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ltc's schedule is all messed up today after too much excitement of having everyone over yesterday. Luckily she seems to be content to play by herself in the play yard at the moment because I need more tea.
