I really wonder what the public reaction would be to a big military parade. I mean, mostly "ooh, cool" I'm sure, but I wonder if enough people have bad experiences with that kind of thing to make a dent.

I imagine split right down partisan lines.

I think I might just be processing pain as numbness now! The tylenol just kicked in, and no more weird feeling. I am also super less stressed, because I just (possibly stupidly) applied for Care Credit for the procedure, which sort of means I can not freak out about money. The procedure is on the 13th and I get paid on the 15th.

I could also probably call around and see if someone else can take me earlier. But I hate the telephone so much!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

CareCredit is a good plan. IIRC, it can be used for veterinary expenses as well.

Hooray for painkillers, Sophia!

So in the ongoing comedy of errors that is my job right now, I still don't have sign-off from my boss to tell our consultants that I'm leaving. However, the internal transfer team has updated my internal profile to display New Job's email address, so it's only a secret until somebody decides to IM me...

(This also means that for the time being, literally everything in my company directory profile is wrong. My job title and desk location are from my last position here, and my email address is from the job I won't have for another 2 weeks.)

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

That's pretty funny, Jesse. I'm sure it's pretty annoying to actually be in thie middle of, but funny from the outside!

Yikes, Sophia. I don't have anything to recommend, but sounds very unpleasant.

...no one show Trump a Mardi Gras parade.

Ugh, what would their throws even be? Individually wrapped rolls of paper towel?

That literally was going to be my second suggestion.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's pretty funny, Jesse. I'm sure it's pretty annoying to actually be in thie middle of, but funny from the outside!

That's especially funny because it's not me, it's Jessica!

IT'S HAPPENING EVERYWHERE!!!

I sent a screenshot of the internal IM window to my boss and he gave me the go-ahead to send out a goodbye email, so I'm drafting that now. FINALLY.
