Thanks, guys. It'll be OK, I know, just tough to get through for a while. My first day back, on Monday, went pretty well, but then that night the horrible realization dawned: Oh my god. I have to get up and do this all over again tomorrow. And the next day. And the next. Sigh.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

I know I'm lucky in that while I don't absolutely adore my job, I don't wake up with dread. I often find it very satisfying, and I don't run too often into managerial idiocy. That's one reason I don't push to get into higher levels, I'm much happier being a competent sergeant than a frustrated officer.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sending out lots of general ~ma for all the buffista suffering through crappy days
I have been rereading Dorothy Sayers, and I dreamed that Lord Peter Wimsey said he only knew of two perfect murders, one of which involved butter, liquid nitrogen and Tibetan monks.
This makes me so happy. Go, Ginger's brain!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
hate Comcast so much that I refuse to deal with them, even for internet, so I'm stuck with CenturyLink DSL which is its own special kind of hell.
The Comcast thing is being shelved so M can be the heavy - though we're kind of stuck with the needing of the 150 mbps, what with the DirecTV and the graphic design gigs.
Even with DirecTV, I refuse to deal with Comcast, at all. They keep sending people to try to do door to door sales in my neighborhood too, so I routinely get to tell them that I think their company is the devil.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Who do you use for internet, Lee?

I use kiddo, but usually in direct address, not in reference. ie: "Aw, kiddo, I'm sorry." But not "I'll have to ask my kiddo."
Yes. I had said something like "Thanks kiddo" to which my cousin asked if I was from a different generation (she is older than me).
I use kiddo but not for anyone over about 15?
Hmmmm, I think I use it mostly in reference to my kiddos. But now that I think about it, I'm not so sure. Definitely not to someone who I could not, agewise, be anywhere to close to being their parent. But I'd say under 20? Eeep. Now I'm going to be self conscious.
Sophia, that restaurant is mighty confused. Clue-by-four time?
Zen, I hope your bank figures their crap out quickly. I've had that happen before, due to a fraud alert that no one notified me of and I found out when my card was rejected everywhere. Hopefully there is a simple resolution.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I use kiddo on occasion. I'm not around actual kids that often, or I might use it more.
I'm sorry about people's work, IT, and banking stresses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't put my finger on who it is, but I have had a relationship with someone who calls me kiddo as an adult. A woman in her 60s. I have no idea who!
