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

Calli, that's horrifying. That poor woman.

Sometimes I think, maybe I could try dating again, and then I am reminded the real risk of dating men isn't getting my heart broken, it's getting murdered, and I decide, nope, staying safely alone.

I'm so behind at work (some on stuff that only hurts ME, like my expense reports)

meara, it isn't just you, I have two expense reports to do and I can't even understand why I'm avoiding it so hard - it's money! Money is not stronger than generalized anxiety disorder.

I really need something that eases anxiety without making me sleepy. Prescription or not. The med I've been taking for a year kinda isn't working anymore and the side effects are growing intolerable. The anxiety is starting to interfere with my ability to get my job done, and that cannot happen.

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

Money is not stronger than generalized anxiety disorder.

That is a true statement that economics, for example, does not take into account.

This particular Awkward Yeti is very relevant to some Buffistas.

I could just send it on to Jilli's when I'm done plundering it. (If she's okay with that, of course.)

My record on getting things in the mail is not stellar. Plei, would you come hold me accountable?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

That's dreadful, Calli.

As I understand it, you feed things like snails and clams cornmeal so that they expel the grit and assorted disgusting things they've been eating and fill up on nice, clean edible cornmeal. The imported snails are a scourge, but an excellent way to eat butter and garlic.

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

Jilli, I shall. Teppy, I think we should send the main box to you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Teppy, I think we should send the main box to you.

Sounds good to me! Jesse, can you wait until I can assemble an uber-box?

Sounds right, Ginger.

Timely, Connie!

I am so frustrated with one of our sibling departments right now. They have access to all the same information I do, I have redundantly sent them the relevant information at least twice over the last week and outright asked them to double check the accuracy of a particular document and they still sent it out wrong. Twice. And after the customer stated deadline (which she said in Eastern time because she is in Eastern time, but THAT WAS CLEAR). Argh. Do not blame this one on the customer being difficult, boss of both of us.

ION, my chicken and egg salad from several days ago is delicious today. Yum.

Our wings are not tired

The list of stuff that I need to get done is epic, and I keep working through it and then more things get added. It's all part of owning a business that is currently being successful, but wow am I tired and having issues keeping on this treadmill.

Okay, I really need to finish this spreadsheet tallying the total value of the business equipment assets so that I can get it over to the bank.

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

I have Too Much To Do, but have accidentally fallen into an Etsy-style Rabbit Hole. Thought of you, Teppy...
