Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wow meara. Just wow. The barest details of that meeting are bad and it just gets worse!

I may need to revise my long held opinion that working five days in a row is too much. Two days in a row is too much. I could probably work every other day pretty consistently.

4AM? Hells to the no.

Jesse, no, Dad's entire social network is us.

Two more days of this contract-management training. It's a crapshoot if I can make it to the end of each day before I entirely lose the will to live. SO AWFUL.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, no, Dad's entire social network is us.

I'm sorry -- I forget what a luxury community is.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

meara, how did you even stay awake? I can barely keep my focus on our one-hour every-other-week team meetings.

I can't stop coughing.

To be fair, I am not actually paying that much attention to the meeting. And it's a webbed, which helps some, because I don't have to look at a document and make sure I'm on the right page, I just have to glance at the screen.

That's something. I would have an even harder time staying awake, though, I think.

I have the impulse to invite you and your dad to my family Thanksgiving, Consuela, but it will probably be the Nitro Turkey 5k and take out again. But if your dad would be up for that...

And I need to revise my "every other day" work plan already. Saturdays off, obviously.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Looking at Five Thirty-Eight is not soothing me, you guys. I'm about a percentage point away from huddling in the corner and rocking.


meara - Sep 15, 2016 7:07:45 am PDT #27669 of 30003

That's why I'm on here, to stay awake!

Dana, I am definitely scared.

I super don't like how Ohio has shifted.

I am curious, though, about why 538's predictions are so different from the New York Times' and the Princeton Election Consortium's predictions.

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

I've discovered that the closer the polls show the race, the worse my anxiety gets.

I may need more meds to get through this election.
