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

Ack! Why is Gmail targeting me for FarmersOnly.com ads?!?

And then the storm slowed down. I coulda swum, most likely.

The status is NOT quo.

(((Liese)))) It is. We are here for you.

Worried about all my south Florida family and friends. Go away, Irma!

And our managing director just sent us all an email saying the hiring freeze we have been in that I didn't actually know about will continue, people will be offered early retirement packages, and we're all getting our 401k matching funds cut next year. So that's fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh dear, -t! (That could have been my reaction to your last three posts, honestly. But I hope the job stuff stays OK.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The spiderwebs have ash in them and the sun was red this morning.

This does sound like a line from that 3-eggs-every-morning story.

The mild weather here with hurricanes, floods, and fires seemingly everwhere else has me fully anticipating tornado blizzards in January.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thunder-snow. With polar bearnados

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Polar bearnados is a delightful turn of phrase.

Definitely not going to start eating 3 eggs every morning.

I'm pre-emptively stressing a little about the work thing because we (well, definitely I am and I feel pretty confident in including my department and I might include the majority of Operations) are already overworked and underpaid and heading into our busy season. Ah, well, out of my hands.

Sorry about the work crap, -t. There seems to be more work crap floating around these days.

Oh, I got the apartment! Finally got all my ducks in a row for the move and new job. Maybe I can relax now--I feel like I've been under constant stress these last 9 days.
