The only thing worse than early morning meetings is having them canceled after you already got up for them.

I have found a worse thing: meeting was rescheduled for later in the day without anyone actually informing me of that, so now I have to attend it ANYWAY.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, Good Things! I miss that.

It's still there! With less news than ever, but a constant stream of puppies and whatever. [link]

The contractor working on our mandated earthquake retrofit has encountered some sort of difficulty because I've just been treated to a Tourettes like spew of "fucking motherfuckers!" for about five minutes non-stop now.

I am hoping the foundation has not split in half and we aren't going to be swallowed into the earth.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Look, at this point, the C.H.U.D.s are better than the goddamn GOP. Embrace the C.H.U.D.s.

That's my mostly internal monologue, whether I'm working or reading the news, so. I'm just glad a coworker is about to be out of the office for ten days, because she is making me crazy. And if I can't give constructive feedback, I just need to suck it up. (I should give constructive feedback, but today is not that day.)

Teppy's got a point.

I too am waiting to see the crap that will pop up on my latest FB post.

Tom and I, for likely reals, will leave the country if things don't improve in the November elections. If things don't turn around (due to trash people voting and/or election interference and cheating)

Mr. Loomy and I are having similar conversations. Britain may still be morons with regard to Brexit, but that's less awful than what's going on in the US.

Because books.

The most telling thing, for me, is that my dad, a lifelong Republican, has officially registered as an independent. He's sure the border situation (i.e., the children in cages, which I can't even believe I'm typing) is what's going to sink Trump. I wish I had that optimism.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I wish I had that optimism.

Seeing as how we once thought that pussy-grabbing was a bridge too far, I fear I share your lack of optimism.

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

(nodding) Netherlands, Britain. We had seriously considered NZ quite a while ago, but we had no usefully income-generating skills to bring. However, we're a mere 30 minutes from BC, so there's that.

I remember someone linking to a "Do I qualify to emigrate to Canada(...or was it New Zealand)?" tool a jillion years ago. If I remember correctly, I just missed on points.
