I just started ranting and raving in a meeting about the new FLSA regulations, so probably I shouldn't reply to any emails that are making me mad today.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

I hate to say it, but I'd rather swallow the horror of Pence than the horror of a nuclear war. It's like Death is Not an Option, only in this case, it is.
This is where I'm at, too.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

Fuck this year. Seriously. The wife just got rear-ended on the Interstate. She and my son are fine, thank God, (though she thinks she might have whiplash and/or a concussion) but her car is a total loss. I'm waiting for the tow truck driver to get them home and her to call me so we can figure out what the hell we're doing to do.

Oh, no Kalshane! Tons of ~am.

Oh no! I'm glad they weren't seriously injured!
I got the opposite sort of news awhile ago. A teenage boy I indirectly know here in Belgium fell down some stairs two and a half weeks ago. He died and was revived, but he's been in a coma since with so much swelling they've been unable to do an MRI to test his brain function. And today, miraculously, he woke up. Completely unexpectedly.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yeah, I was thinking about not getting mine replaced when it's due (which is probably this year), because I'm 45, but NO WAY am I taking that risk now. I will go for IUD #3.

That's wonderful. Glad someone got some good news today.

Oh Jesus, Kalshane. So scary! I hope everyone is OK. And at least you've already been car shopping, so you don't have to start from scratch? (Sorry if that is too Pollyanna right now.)

Oh, man, Kalshane! I'm sorry.
Wow, Callaluna, nice to read some good news.
Work is not nearly distracting enough. Can't concentrate on what I'm doing, can't curl up in a ball and cry.
Had two conversations about the election. One coworker said "I'm not going to say anything more because I recognize that I'm in a Blue State and it's a sore spot for everyone" which I'm trying not to spend too much energy on parsing, and another came over and outright commiserated with me about how unreal it all is. Which may have broke me a little.
