Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Wow, -t, how awful!!

And Jesse also awful, ew.

I'm just glad today is Friday, and even though I had enough wine that I sent misspelled texts I didn't remember last night, they were not to the wrong person or anything, and I'm not hungover!!!

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

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Sara.

I'm sorry -t.

Currently between panels at Malice.

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

That is a relief, meara!

Mm, Malice.

Looks like my additional allowances made it into this paycheck and did not reduce my witholding as much as I wanted, so upping those. And the reduction in 401 k witholding has not hit yet, so net effect on take home pay remains to be seen. Fortunately, I have my tax refund to help with May's mortgage payment, so all is well on that front.

Punishingly Intricate

I'm so sorry for your loss, sara. And for the contractor woes.

And, oh my god, -t, that's awful. I'm so sorry.

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

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

I'm so sorry, sarameg.

And -t, that must be hard to figure out how to react, how to help.

Yuck, Jesse

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

I'm so sorry, sarameg.

-t, oh my god, that's terrible.

Jesse, at least it sounds like she realized and tried to recover, but that really never goes well.

What's Malice?

Malice is short for Malice Domestic, a convention about traditional mysteries.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have spent all day trying to reach the woman who's supposed to be coordinating steroid shots for me. Last time I called, they said she's away from her desk and may be gone for the day.

I saw the doctor Wednesday. I'm flying to New Orleans Tuesday. And fucking nothing has been done.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Wishing right-ness for Dana.

-t, that's such an awful situation, and I'm sorry.

Sara, my condolences on your loss, and sympathies on the contractor and stupid work.

smonster, I'm sorry about your friend.

Jesse, ow. Hard to recover from that. Sometimes you don't realize how deep it is till you actually step in it. More practice on IDing aggressions before you take that step.

Fidgets. I lose the toys, so I stick with jewelry. Primarily these.
