I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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

What a jerk!

In case this is useful information for anyone else, one packet of True Lemon in 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise is a lot of fucking lemon.

(Okay, yeah, saying "Do you KNOW who we ARE?", even in my head, is AWFUL. But still.

No it isn't. Not in this case.

(Also, I may have occasionally said "Do you KNOW who I AM?" in project planning meetings for work. But I get backed up by my VP saying "Don't make her mad".)

Happy Birthday, Zen and Kiba!

Steph, what an asshat. I bet he goes through assistants like tic-tacs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I used to have to edit abstracts submitted for a meeting that had a character limit, including spaces.

No one gets that a character limit includes spaces, and it makes me BONKERS.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

She did it!!!!! K-Bug passed her boards! Not that I doubted she would.

She also got a collection letter from the college saying she owes $500. She got a scholarship in Feb for $500 and it looks like they reversed it 10 days after grad. Total bullshit. She is getting it handled but what bullshit.

Hooray K-Bug!

That is ridiculous, reversing a scholarship after graduation.

I got a last minute testing scenario at work around half an hour, maybe less, before I was supposed to leave. On the one hand, I am annoyed to have one more thing to do, and with a tight deadline, and argh. On the other, I am excited about how this thing will improve my workflow if it works. So, mixed feelings. Left work an hour or so late, which is a drag, but still have a few minutes to get myself together and head out to the movies without being late...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Right on K-Bug! Board Certified!

(Okay, i kind of said that in my head like Zeke from Bob's Burgers for anybody who watches that show.)

Tep, do you have the option of laying out his article in multicolored Fink Heavy so it will convey the proper authorial tone of a tantrum-throwing kindergartener?

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

I had a professor who had a strict 2,000-word limit for most papers. He'd draw a line at the 2,001st word and write, "This paper has no conclusion."
