Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Because books.
And this is because you're hourly now, instead of salaried, right? So dumb. I hope it turns out to be a reasonably pleasant place to work.

It's been over ten years since I had a job that recognized national holidays other than Christmas and New Years

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yup. So far so good, I guess.
No long weekend here. Next company holiday is Thanksgiving. Makes for a long stretch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
[Canadian] Thanksgiving! (Columbus Day to you folk.)
Pretty sure it's Indigenous Peoples Day here, but the calendar still says Columbus.

I have gained a little weight and am trying to eat less candy, so every day I resolve "no candy" but then every day seems to boil down to "kill my husband, or eat candy?" and I eat candy. Sigh.
Home renovations, they're not for kids, folks, and my husband seems like he's actually a kid hiding in the body of a 6'6" 48 year old.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm sorry, flea. Husband is very good with a lot of things, but there are some other ones that make me want to strangle him.
I'm considering going to the ER for this migraine. Woo?

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
For those in need of good news: One of the new Nobel Laureates in Medicine is my PhD advisor's PhD advisor.
My advisor's postdoc advisor is also a Nobel Laureate, so I have two Nobel-winning grand-advisors!
