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

Oh, dating robot, please recalibrate your parameters for interacting with humans.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry, -t.

Dating robot needs to find a new, perhaps somewhat robotic, object of interest.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

2 employees at my location have been terminated as a result of random drug tests in the last month. Good lord. Come on people, they rest here, you know that.

ION - I had 3 handyman fixit jobs done at my house. It wiped out my checking account, but YAY DONE! I have a medicine cabinet I can see the mirror of and no gaping hole in my bathroom wall anymore. I have new properly affixed drawer pulls on my kitchen drawers. AND I now have pull down ladder access to my attic. I have wait two more pay periods before I can think about next steps, even things I might do myself, but woohoo finally moving forward after 4-5 year stall.

Well done, msbelle!

The guy in my department who got laid off the same time I, uh, transferred (even HR has trouble referring to that smoothly) got asked back. This company certainly gives a good impression of having no idea what they are doing sometimes.

The pwoer has flickered off twice this morning. So that's fun.

Yay, I'm working Thanksgiving, with the day after off so I get a three-day weekend. Thanksgiving will be remarkably dead, and my co-workers who will be here are already planning their multi-player game. Maybe I'll actually write.
