We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

My coworkers are feeling safer already, from what I overhear.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

As you may recall from yesterday, husband's flight was late getting into Chicago for his interview today. And...he also got food poisoning. So he basically feels like the walking dead today.

I...just...am out of thoughts and feelings. I feel like Abed.

Ugh, -t. I'm sorry.

Dana, you're poor husband!

ltc is still cranky and the cable is out. So, we're watching The Incredibles.

I'm sure there's no chance of running into You Know Who, but my dudes, WHAT IF I DO?!

shrift, you could quote Xander:

I hate to break it to you, O Impotent One, but you're not the Big Bad anymore. You're not even the Kind of Naughty. You're nothing but a waste of space.

Oh, no, Dana! You're poor husband. Yeah, running out of thoughts and feelings seems appropriate.

shrift, I feel like you need some kind of emergency shelter you can hide in if necessary. Like a turtle.

Go team turtle!

I opted to not go on the tour because a couple of us needed to stay behind to make sure nothing goes wrong with the launch.

I had a co-worker stop me in the hall to tell me how much she was enjoying my book which it sounds like she is reading to her kid at bedtime. The felt kinda awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is awesome, Gud.

Much less awesome for Dana's husband, ltc, and -t's workplace!

I have a lunch meeting at 1 and I did have a snack, but I'm still afraid I might die of hunger before I get there.

Husband called briefly. He sounds okay. Probably helps that the first interviews were with lower-level people. He was also able to suss out that the other two candidates don't have his exact combination of experience.

Instead of working, I am watching Yuri on Ice and eating turkey bacon and guac.

Glad to hear your husband is doing okay. Poor guy sounds like he's having a rough day.
