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

meara, if it helps, I am right there with you. So ready. I keep asking for help and not getting any, and then getting more work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh you guys. I hate that just not doing the shit you don't have time to do only reflects poorly on you, too. I mean, on one. In my experience. OK, on me.

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

Ugh, meara. And Zen. That's awful.

We had an order ship out wrong, for reasons that really truly have nothing to do with me, and the department who is responsible is desperately looking for any other thing to hold against those of us who are just bystanders. Argh. If they'd answered my questions on Friday maybe they wouldn't have as big an audience for this mess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, meara and Zen, that's exactly the situation my husband is in, and he's so miserable. We cannot both quit our jobs simultaneously, so he's got dibs on it if it gets too bad.

It's amazing the messes that occur when people will just not admit to things. It's my least favorite plot device in stories, as well. I've learned that I get a lot of bonus points if I just come right out and say to a manager "I goofed up and did this, can you help me fix it?"

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Welcome Francesca!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

True story:We just ran out of gas. On the highway. Because the person who has been driving the car all week (spoiler: NOT ME) didn't notice the car was on empty. I'm partly full of raaaaaage, but also partly amused that this happened while we were driving to a board meeting for the ADHD group.
