Ok, so I finally got the call for a Skype screening interview for the job! Two weeks from today.

My former boss broke her wrist slipping on a wet floor at work. Who designs workplaces where the floors become like skating rinks when wet, in a world where it rains?

Yeah, I don't think Trump is trying to get out. I think he responds in the meanest way possible to every perceived insult or slight without regard for consequences because he's never been affected in any meaningful way to any consequence of his actions.

Trump wants to be president, he wants to stand at podiums while thousands cheer, he wants to go to foreign countries and have people bow to him. Isn't that what the job of president is all about?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay! But dag, that is one slow-moving process.

Keep in mind I'm still wearing an ankle brace because I tripped over my own feet coming down the stairs.

See, now I'm relieved I'm not actually injured.

And at least I'm going to see Rev. Barber speak tonight. With Rev. James Forbes! It should be something.

Wipe out bad, but seeing Rev. Barber should be electrifying

I had to drive to Glendale yesterday to go to a birthday party, and while it was fun, today my hip and back ache. Ugh. So over this injury! But at least I'm going to see the chiro/PT again today so that should help.

And yes, good luck on the interview, flea!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I keep having this image that, in November (thanks to a merciful deity), Trump loses but refuses to accept it. He gives a victory speech instead of a concession, acts as though he's going to be sworn in (rather than sworn at) in January, goes to the White House demanding access so his decorator can measure for drapes, etc. And is incensed when the Secret Service pulls his detail.

I have a much darker picture in my head of what Trump and his followers will do if, come January, someone other than Trump is sworn in.

Relatedly, someone - I forget who - said something about Clinton's suits being boxy to hide the flack jacket underneath, and now I can't see her sartorial choices any other way.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For those of us suffering from excessive anxiety about a possible Trump presidency, I think we need a support group.

Maybe call it, "But I don't wanna live under a fascist autocracy."
