Oh, my god. Work. I'm going to be in a corner, quietly banging my head against a brick wall. There may be retail therapy later.

Her reply to every query like that is "That is unimportant and I will not provide it."

I kind of want to try responding to things like this just to see what would happen.

Right? When I get assigned an article to edit, I don't get to say "This is unimportant and I will not edit it." Which is SO what I should have done with this article. Sheesh.

This is where I feel like I need to mention, yet again, that 1 year ago we published an article written by President Obama about the ACA, and *he* wasn't a whiny little baby about being edited.

"That is unimportant and I will not provide it."

This may be my new answer to many many requests.

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

Right there with you, msbelle.

SiL update, because I have to tell someone and I sure as hell don't want to bring it up at work: she was out on bail but violated the conditions of her bond agreement and is back in jail. I am hoping she can maybe dry out and stay out of trouble while she's in, but who knows. Gah. My poor brother, but at least he is in a better place geographically and has a job and a bit of a support network. Her parents, man, I can't even imagine, that must be awful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had my afternoon coffee and am ready to take on the next two hours!! Man, everything is kind of a cluster here because our fiscal year ends 6/30.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

-t, I don't know what to say. What a difficult situation for everyone.
