I have to detach myself from most social media and "news" tv. I just can't stay with it, it's making me too angry and bitter.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's not out of pocket, is it, Dana? Yikes.
Yep, out of pocket. I have a $1000 deductible and had only put about $60 towards it. Because copays for doctors and prescriptions don't count towards the deductible.
And no, not workman's comp. My doctor/surgeon is actually pretty insistent that it's a genetic thing, rather than a repetitive stress injury. You're just born with a carpal tunnel of a certain size, and it may end up being too small. Which means he thinks I'll need to do the left hand at some point in the future.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have to detach myself from most social media and "news" tv.
Hubs turned off the news last night because I kept yelling at the TV. (We have a DVR. I assume he watched the rest later.)

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I want to be the person who does the latter, but I don't think I've got it in me.
I want to do more than just signal boost other voices and link to good causes to donate to. But I don't know if I have the energy or emotional fortitude.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I just installed an extension to block me from going to FB on my work computer. Does that make me more or less of an adult?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Today I'm furious about the Republicans in Congress. They spent eight years white-anting the government institutions and conventions that underpin American democracy, and they got away with it. No, they got rewarded for it. There's enough to worry about in the impact of everything they did, but right now it's that they got rewarded for it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys! I got a phone screen for the higher ed job I applied to even though I thought I didn't qualify!!

Awesome Jesse! Kick some phone screen ass! And I hear women are less likely to apply for a job unless they meet all the qualifications. Whereas men will if they meet only some?
