I'm certain she will also provide a smiting for your landlord the next time she's around these parts! She is very, very good at smiting.
I may have to ask directly. This is a need now.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Sophia I'm so sorry for your loss

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry for your loss, Sophia. Wishes for peace and comfort for your family.
Most excellent and well deserved smite. And yeah, things don't always happen for a reason, other than the reason being that some people suck, or life isn't really fair. People say things like that and other favorites like what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Well, not so much with that one either!
Anyway, slept under 5 blankets and am bundled in sweats and thick socks because it was 36F this morning! The space heaters are doing their thing, but I don't run them while I sleep. My fingers are cold, but at least I have most excellent fiction to read. ;)

Don't get me started on "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". I actually like the way Nietzsche (come on, predictive typing, if you aren't going to help me out on that what good are you?) originally meant it (or my understanding of how he originally meant it, anyway) but that's so not how people use it.

My condolences to you and your family, Sophia.

Ann, that's a ferret.
All condolences to Sophia and family.

Successfully caught the express bus this morning. It has free wifi! not exactly consistently, but the thought is nice. Pretty cushy and not a bad walk on this end, 14 minutes according to my phone. There is another bus that stops right in front of work that I could transfer to, but paying $5 or even $1.75 for one stop seems a little silly. Hopefully I'll have time to talk to someone at the transit center, find out if monthly passes are route specific or not, which might make that option more appealing.

And now I'm trained on the copier (that one wasn't just because I'm new here, we got new copiers). In half an hour, Front Desk training. Yay.

Y'all aren't shunning me, are you? I won't know if you don't tell me. Is it the Nietzsche?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Pretty sure it wasn't the Nietzsche?
I am blowing off a meeting I don't need to be at in favor of eating lunch, and I don't feel even a little bad! OK, a little bad for not just declining the invitation.
