Timelies all!
Been kinda quiet here in Natter lately....
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

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

Yeah, well, that's a raw deal also, Connie. I'm not meaning to urge you specifically to take some kind of a stand, I'm just generally annoyed at the whole system.
In short, capitalism, feh.
Unrelatedly (or is it?) I just got my annual review because hourly employees get it earlier than salaried and my supervisor had it available so she wanted to give it to me while I'm here instead of sending copies back and forth through interoffice mail. 4 out of 5 stars, I guess that's good? No raise because I'm switching to salaried. When I accepted the salaried job I was told I would be eligible for a raise there, I don't know how that's going to work since this review covered both positions for the whole year. Whatevs.
Also got the list of accounts I'll be handling and it's pretty much a lot of special snowflakes who need their hands held often, so that'll be fun.

I had to abondon the hotel bar since the emergency alarm went off. The fire department arrived quickly and there are no signs of smoke so I'm pretty sure the hotel won't burn down. Still, it was way too noisy to work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oy vey, both of you!
I am trying to focus on how my job would be fun if I had 30% less work, which I will when I get my last open position filled.

In other news, I am having a footwear crisis. Suddenly I hate tall boots! I don't like mine, I don't like them on other people, I don't want to wear them! Is this just my usual late winter hating all my clothes, or am I really just done with boots???

Can you clearly articulate your anti-tall boots stance, Jesse?

Ooh. That is exciting!

All of a sudden I just don't like they way they look!
Am I going to have to figure out ankle boots????

Also, shrift, I just saw the episode with your tagline, and it made me laugh.

Today I got the fun of cautioning a couple of our editors that the artist they chose to feature prominently in a sample unit was... let's just say she makes J.Lo seem undemanding and easy to work with.

Whoa, sudden onset tall boot hatred! I say give it some time, see if it passes. I am a longtime fan of ankle boots, myself, though. You might want to experiment.
