I forgot to bring my personal stash of decaf coffee in today so I'm hitting the office regular stuff. I think I might need a second cup. I was way more awake before I got here.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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

Follow-up: "The emails are not in the database. Please send the file."
Reply: "See attached."
Not replied "You ignorant motherfucker."
I mean, I can re-send the file, but if it's not showing up in the database, then Ronnie won't believe that I re-sent it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Ronnie is the worst.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They should believe that you resent it, though! (Sorry, I just always want to make re-sent/resent wordplay, and never have an actual opportunity to do so.)
My lunch had too much onion and garlic, and unrelatedly, I don't feel like working. Now you're all caught up on me!

Every time I typed the hyphen, I was all "I resent the SHIT out of this!"

"Ronnie cannot believe the resentment" should have a Gorey style sketch to go with it.

And, indeed, I just re-sent the files. For literally the 4th time. The problem is not on my end. The problem is the author, who doesn't understand the difference between submitting a draft in order to have the article accepted in the first place, and then the article being edited.
When he submitted the article to be accepted, he was asked to revise it, which he did. He believes that is the end of the process for him. He thinks that what I sent is just a re-tread of that much earlier revision process. I even explained to him in my email that this is a different step in the process, and his reply was basically, "I already did this. I am finished."
The problem is not me, and I need to punch some motherfuckers right now.

The problem is pretty much always them. Other people suck.

Yay! I mean, boo for the situation, obviously, because it sounds like ridiculous bullshit.

Dude. This is my response to laundry and the dishes, but even I recognize that it's not a particularly useful response.
