I've now seen it in writing twice!
Oh dear. Well, thanks for clarifying that for me.
Oy, Vortex. That's a tough situation. Confirming your weekend plans in a party neutral way seems reasonable to me.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You have an actual career, which is something to be proud of!
As Jesse notes, you not only have a career but you have pulled off the dream career of writing for a living about something you genuinely love.
(I know it sometimes feels like work and a drag, but when you step back and look at it - it's true.)
Workhorse isn't really a compliment. It implies...workmanlike. Sufficient. Grind it out stuff.
You were right to take offense. BECAUSE that's not how you write. Your work is very informed, thoroughly researched, shows your zest and humor.
So, he was being an ass. But he wasn't being accurate.

IMPORTANT CEILING CAT UPDATE: CEILING CAT HAS BEEN CAPTURED AND WAS SENT BACK TO THE YARD. ALL IS WELL, I REPEAT, ALL IS WELL.
(Yesterday afternoon was eventful to Ceiling Cat and I was afraid that he was hurt by his adventures. I was very happy to see him very much alive this morning).
Vortex, I am sorry for the weird friends dynamic situation.
In other news, my mom landed in AZ about 7 hours ago. She is visiting her sister and vacationing for the next 31 days, and I am very happy that she is able to do so.
(updated: apparently a word was missing).

Our wings are not tired.
Yay ceiling cat!
I am on the road. Not so much awake, but that will happen soon enough.

Yay for ceiling cat getting out of the ceiling!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad to hear ceiling cat is no longer in the ceiling.
Laura, going up for the service sounds like the right call. Are you driving???

Yay for ceiling cat getting out of the ceiling!
I suddenly wonder if I am responsible for any God missing from their place.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Coworker is discussing whether or not to get up at 2:30AM to attend a meeting in France. She is out of her freaking mind.
