I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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

That's what I suspected. Thanks for the confirmation!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Acetaminophen is fine, with NSAIDs, though.

Don't have any of that, but I will swing by a drug store if I get desperate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Since I've gotten migrainey again, I try to keep both kinds of drugs around -- which means I have many bottles of tylenol, because I forget to keep it in my purse. Unlike advil, which has been my go-to for years.

hip deep in pie

Ibuprofen on top of naproxen, bad or okay?

Not an expert, but I think they're pretty similar, so I'd bet no.

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

This employee engagement conference call is slowly killing me. We've been on this call for 2.5 hours, editing the PowerPoint presentation by committee. We just spent several minutes going from Training For Impacted Staff to Training for Effected Staff to Training for Affected Staff to Training. I don't think anyone's yet realized that if our recommendations for changes to procedure are followed, we'll have essentially created a new part-time job, which a current member of full-time staff will be volunteered for and not paid for.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Zen, I thought you were going to call in sick so you didn't have to attend this meeting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Meanwhile, I am sitting in a conference room having an unproductive meeting, and someone just called into the conference room phone system.

"Sorry, you have a wrong number."

"No, I don't."

You almost have to admire her chutzpah.

Dana, I was, but my dang work ethic intervened. I should have done it anyway! There's another editor on this team who's much more engaged than I am; I'm really not needed at all.
