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.

Hahaha, ouch! This morning I sneezed and threw my back into spasm. The only thing good about it happening today is that I had a massage booked for tonight. Sabrina, my masseuse is magical, but it's still pretty tight.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Kick ass, woman!

I'm definitely trying to!

Second interview went very well, the exec and I really connected. It's kind of ~more than I really want to do, but the experience is great.

Our wings are not tired.

Ouch, Sue. Take it easy.

Good to hear your awesomeness was recognized, esse. Love the new name, when I say it in my head I pronounce it right, but with an inflection that makes it sound like sassy.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

While on the way after work to the consignment place to fill out paperwork so they'd come pick up furniture at our house next week before the movers come, the credit card company called and asked if I had made purchases at an Orlando Walmart.

I had not.

Yesterday, carpal tunnel. Today, credit card fraud. I'm taking bets on what tomorrow will bring.

Ha! Awesome. It was either that or "essay," which, no.

Compassionately intolerant

Love the new name, when I say it in my head I pronounce it right, but with an inflection that makes it sound like sassy.

I pronounced it as it would have been spoken in the predominantly Chicano high school I attended.

Very cool indeed.

You would not believe how many people (men) say, "Heyyyyyy, ese!" Upon being introduced to me.

It does act as a pretty clear indication of the type of person I'm speaking with, though.

I have scheduled to take my Jeep into a Jeep dealership to have the lock worked on after my usual garage said "Oh, we can't work on something like that, you'll need to go to an auto body shop so they can take the door off. I don't even care any more if I can lock the doors, I've maybe locked the doors three times in the three years I've owned it, and I'm willing to run the risk of prowlers in the parking lot. If they want to steal the two dollars in change, my sun hat, and the jug of antifreeze, I'll call that cheap for not having to maneuver my fat ass in through the passenger door.

I don't lock my car, or leave anything of value in the car. My theory is the contents of the car cost less to replace than my window. I know too many people that have lost windows and it is a pain in the butt.

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

I have made Excel run out of memory twice. I don't even have that much open, I think it's just tired. Fuck it, I am not reviewing which of the recovered files I want to save, I'm just going to catch up in Natter and go home.

Jamie Lee Curtis is my new BFF.

Sweet! I always kind of vaguely liked her for seeming generally awesome, but after hearing her on Wait Wait I love her to pieces.

We're like Brigadoon, if Brigadoon were full of liberals, queer folk, hipsters, and heroin dealers.)

OK, I haven't actually seen Brigadoon, but I feel like that is exactly what it is like.

Nice shirt from Holli!

Damn it, I have to remember to get my flu shot! The free flu shots at work day was Yom Kippur, so that didn't work for me. It's still free if I go to Kaiser, but I have to actually go.

I thought you were already trying to be more social and go out more, msbelle?

Ugh on the fraud and best wishes for a smooth surgery and easy recovery, Dana. I don't know anything about either, but good luck.

Wow, esse, go you!

Oy, Sue. Don't do that, back of Sue.

You would not believe how many people (men) say, "Heyyyyyy, ese!" Upon being introduced to me.

I know I've had that thought. I don't think I've said it out loud? Maybe I have, sometimes I don't have much filter.

Sigh on the car door lock, Connie. What a pain.
