Also, FWIW, the EAP lady tried to help -- they just only have one person who is convenient to me, and I didn't like the looks of her. I think I might complain to HR, though.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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.

Just suddenly discover your sister has moved to a place with no power and no cell service. And you've got to hike in. God, I've no patience for that sort of shit.
I've got the windows open. Predict I'll wake with gummy eyes, but the fresh air is nice.
I think we've driven the rats out from warrening on our property, but they're definitely still visiting. Might go full anti-Noriega on them and install motion detector lights down low and deploy a motion activated cat toy on a leash down there (seriously, I got one as a gag gift that terrifies the cats. Chirping, flashing, spinning yellow plastic rat. It's here somewhere. Irony would be delicious.)

This confused me on first reading, but now that I have parsed it, yeah. Something along those lines.

Wow, Zen, that's ridiculous.
I am also having several special snowflakes this week--"oh, but that's so much work, do I REALLY HAVE TO?" Um, I'm asking you for it once every 8 weeks. And in the time it took you to write those several complainy emails, you could've easily faxed me the FOUR PAGES we're talking about. Jesus.

If the recycling guys are the least bit nosy, probably wonder about my toilet paper roll fetish. I don't think one has made it into the recycling without being dropped in the toilet and unspooling sincerity her. Thanks, Pumpkin.
(Brought to you by.: I really had to pee and barely had the seconds to fish that one out.PUMPKIN.)

The one star national park reviews are pretty fun. I want to take everyone who mentions a park as being better than the one they gave one star to and make them fight the people who gave the "better" park one star.
Not to the death, just til I get bored. Or run out of tacos and government supplied coffee. Whichever comes first.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I would like to see the ratings and comments on such a contest.

Surely Yelp has a category for that.

Crap -- I just called my dentist's office, and the person who answered told me the name of the person at the desk in the orthodontist area, and I've already forgotten! It just falls right out of my head. It's something like Rispee? I guess it's time to give up on remembering.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Meh. The pollen count is too damn high (die, ragweed, die), the temperature is WAY too cool (I am not remotely ready for fall-like temperatures yet), and my coffee is not waking me up. And on top of that, I just opened the article I have to edit today, and it's a long article about multiple forms of child abuse.
I would like to return today for a refund or exchange.
