Despite not being a touchy-feely person in general, I've felt flattered rather than offended the couple of times that women I don't know have grabbed my ass. However, I don't have to deal with an institutionalized history of being objectified by the opposite sex, which makes a big difference.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There are babies outside my office crying while their dad is having a conversation. It is so hard to keep myself from trying to entertain them! But I am not a babysitter, and you can't actually just park your twins while you have a meeting.

OK, another woman, whose job probably is more related to keeping this dad happy, just picked up one of the babies, and I think he took the other one.
I mean, I like babies, but still!

Unfortunately, you gotta draw those lines thick and bright.
Got my replacement parking permit and am waiting for toll call in the Jurors Assembly Area. I think we'll be heading to a courtroom next. Whee.

It's a particularly annoying form of anxiety that makes the actual arrival of vacation a source of panic. I've spent the past couple of months living for the idea of vacation, but now that it's here, I'm dreading all the things I mean to get done and that at the end of next week I'll need to get my brain ready to come back to work. Of course, at the end of the week, I'll be bored enough to want to come back to work, but that's a sensible thought and has no place amongst the brain weasels that want to devour my peace of mind.

Our wings are not tired.

If I were involved in a trial I would be delighted to have you administer justice!

That sounds rough, Connie. I'm sorry.

Aw, thanks, Laura! I would totally be biased in your favor, though.
Can't read during jury selection, y'all! Woes. Over an hour for lunch, though.

Mother effers. I just spend an hour and a half working on a thing that I thought was on my plate only to hear, "Oh, that other person re-worked it and gave it to Bigwig for his review, so maybe hold off for now." I wouldn't have done anything if I had known that!
