Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I should have stayed in bed this morning.

I hear that! I realized as I left the house that I was getting a migraine. Luckily it's not terrible, but STILL.

In continuing news about how my job is ridiculous, they are getting rid of corporate credit cards. WTF? We already just had one per department, but now everything has to go on a personal card for reimbursement.

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

And cube-neighbor just canceled. Resentment back in full flower. Yay?

Weird, Jesse. How can that possibly be better? And sorry about the migraine.

On the plus side, just killed a mosquito, which is always satisfying.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That does make no sense, Jesse. We only have one in our whole School, which is annoying and instead of the cardholder doing all the purchasing the card ends up getting passed around against all regulations.

Turns out my friend's son was walking to school when was hit, so now I'm all riled up about how we need a crosswalk - I know the corner he was hit at, and it feels dangerous to drive through, much less walk across. But he's doing okay, enjoying his recovery time and watching anime.

Oh yeah -- we have a pdf of a photocopy of the card we all use! I don't see why they don't issue more cards. That would make tracking down receipts easier, I would think. Instead we get these 50-person department emails asking about individual charges.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That is ridic, Jesse.

That's a whole lot of silliness right there. And not the fun kind.

Am I crazy that individual cards would be easier in a lot of ways?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

They are probably worried about the 'moral hazard' of giving folks a credit card they are free to use for work. Which is stupid, but then I think most 'moral hazard' arguments are stupid.
