Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

So, someone I know just posted on Facebook that her (Long-Island-raised) son got dinged on a school assignment (in Arkansas) for saying "meant" and "mint" are not homophones. Regional accents strike again!

There's an elementary-school-aged EpicTangent in my head raging on that kid's behalf. Tell me his mom protested?

Punishingly Intricate

WON CONTRACT, BITCHES! (And then had zero transition support for several months because of territorial government assholes)

I started threatening to set all the things on fire today. Though everything was kind of already on fire. It's only Tuesday. There are 3 summaries I need to send out before 9 because apparently I'm the only one who grasps the whole picture. I think my brain's on fire too.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Once again today my coworkers made suicide jokes again. And once again I wanted to heckle them with "really? Too soon, yeah?". I suppose it's like saying "I'm starving" when you're just hungry and not about to die from lack of food. And my heckling is starting to not to be so not-serious in intent.

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

Julie, I'm sorry, they should be more aware of what they're saying. Even unintended it's still painful.

Day 2 of conference ended with eating delicious Russian food, getting soaked in a downpour, and falling into bed exhausted at 8:30. Still gotta do some work before I sleep.

Thrive to spite them

Julie, have directly asked them to stop?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Julie, that's awful. Really and truly.

sarameg, as referenced Elsewhere what I texted Jilli to say was "Dear QA, show me on the doll where the defect touched you." when I got fed up with not getting enough information.

Hahah!

Yeah, today I was emailing my boss with "if you want me to do that you'll need to clone me. 15 times" and she was all "well the resourcing issue has been raised to the highest levels of the company because they're very concerned, but (my job title) is in short supply". My response was "yeah, and if you make me try to do 150% of what I should be doing for another month, they're going to have one more position that's not easy to fill". Ugh!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Does not matter!

Once again today my coworkers made suicide jokes again. And once again I wanted to heckle them with "really? Too soon, yeah?".

You should, though. People don't think.
