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

My nephew recently posted something about post-ironic art on Facebook, but I don't know if that applies to bumper stickers.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

JZ, much love and strength to you and your brother.

-t, I hope this new/old job is more pleasant than your current one.

I have been negotiating contracts for a week with an agency. I am not used to government paying that much attention.

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

JZ, best wishes to all of you. I wish none of you had to go through such an incredibly stressful time. I hope he'll come through it all right.

-t, one does not simply drive into Mordor.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

-t, best of luck on your interview.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Good luck, -t!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Autologous transplant is one of those things that always sounds so incredibly cool until you realize that it's exponentially more OMG SCARY. I dearly, dearly hope that bro-of-JZ not only comes out firmly on the cool side, but absolutely sticks the landing.

Right? I took an early exit and drove the rest of the way on side streets just in case.

Interview was yesterday, thanks for the good thoughts!

Totally flaked on the 5-year goal, but my boss didn't remind me so I'm not gonna worry about it. If she keeps handing me things that urgently need to get done right now, everything else is gonna not get done.

I dearly, dearly hope that bro-of-JZ not only comes out firmly on the cool side, but absolutely sticks the landing.

Yes. Make it so, universe.

Oh, wow, that is some short notice.

No fucking shit. It'll be fine, it's a phone screen and I've read the resumes exhaustively, have my script. But still. Less than impressed. And the scheduling notifications were a hot mess. I do not need to sort thru 4 emails per interview to figure out the schedule (one for meeting in outlook, one for webex, one for ?, one containing resume. And only 1 had the interviewee's name. Sigh.)
