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

I am kind of intrigued by the haunted waffle house. Nsm by the upholstery.

"Reduce global headcount" sounds more ominous than layoffs. Kind of, what's the word, Malthusian.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Last night I dreamed that they opened a restaurant in my bedroom without telling me. I went up to the hostesses demanding to talk to the manager, but my alarm went off before anything happened.

Our wings are not tired.

Dreams that involve work and chores are the worst.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I once dreamed that I woke up, got ready, and went to work ... then the alarm went off and I had to start over. SO exhausting.

I hate those, Toddson.

Ooh, maybe your dreamself is haunting the restaurant, Scola! It's all coming together.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I am kind of intrigued by the haunted waffle house.

It was a little locally owned breakfast diner in the downtown area of some vague large city, elevated from ground level with one big wall of windows that looked down on a busy street. The haunting wasn't really cinematic, just sometimes plates or glasses would scoot across tables.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My boss, who has had gallbladder surgery and a hysterectomy in the past year now has a suspicious mammogram. She is the best woman and the best boss and she cannot get a break health wise. Also, the last 2 women who worked in her old office have died of ovarian and breast cancer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have tried for what feels like months to figure out how to file for a homestead exemption online. I have given up. We'll just print the damn form out, like we're living in the stupid 1990s or something.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The easiest way to file taxes with the city of Cincinnati is to print out the form and mail it. I remain boggled by that.

Parental Pants Update! My dad *claims* he owns 35 pairs of pants. And he didn't sound like he was tripping balls on painkillers. That seems like an inordinate number of pants (though if he needs to go into assisted living any time soon, he's set for pants). Maybe it's true, and it's so he only has to do laundry once a month.

There has to be a happy medium between Tim's dad and my dad. (Both named Jack, BTW, which is sometimes confusing.)

One of Tim's brothers says there's one more pair of khakis at Tim's dad's house, but he's 99% sure they're too small. So he might technically own 3 pairs of pants, but only 2 pairs that fit.
