Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I hate everyone and want to fire all my customers today.

My coordinator is overworked and it's a short week, but I am so aggravated at her sending me an email saying "We NEVER do XYZ and you did it," and when I replied "There is a note in the file from the Editor-in-Chief that explicitly says 'On this article ONLY, go ahead and do XYZ,' so I assumed that note meant I should do XYZ," she replied back "Well, I changed it anyway because we don't do XYZ and you should have changed it."

What the shit. The Editor-in-Chief outranks her. I do what the Editor-in-Chief says. I guarantee if I had gone ahead and done what Coordinator said she wanted me to do, she would have replied with "There is a note from the Editor-in-Chief that says you should do XYZ; why did you ignore that note???" No way to win on this one.

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

Outside a crew of workmen are making lots of noise and shouting and digging up my lawn for utility work because I guess they have a easement, and I have a hangover and I'm bitter and cranky.

move out and draw fire

Sail, my condolences on your loss.

This noise is bout ta drive me mad. Sounds like a pneumatic jackhammer.

They're working under my trees. If they damage them I'm going on a rampage. Just so you know. Maybe I'll arm myself and take over a wildlife refuge. That's okay now, right? I bet it's quiet at a wildlife refuge.

People who leave less than a cup of coffee in the communal carafe without making a fresh pot should be banned from the commons.

Well, you are white, but you aren't male, so I'm not sure. Might only be half okay.

Hmpf. Probably any white male I could find to back me up in this protest would be unpleasant company. Of course, he would hypothetically have all the guns. My only weapons are an iron skillet, a bayonet, and an Iron Man action figure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, Zen, for what it's worth, you could probably go to a wildlife refuge for the quiet without an armed takeover. Just putting that out there?

Hope surgery is going well, Dana!
