Natter 75: More Than a Million Natters Served
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Today is getting off to a very bad start.
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.
Or a 7AM meeting on July 4.
It's hard getting motivated when you feel completely worthless.
I'm sorry, Gud.
Those would be short discussions if I had to have them, Dana.
Koko was such a force for awareness of the depth and breadth of primate--possibly other animals as well--emotional and rational life. I'm sure she was happy in her life, with unusual enrichment, and relationships with her keepers and trainers.
I'm glad we humans had her to teach us.
Also, I'm sorry, Gud.
And yay! for ceiling cat release!
I'm sorry, Gud. You're not worthless.
Just remember, Gud, how you FEEL is not the same as what you ARE. It is awful to feel worthless, but you aren't worthless, not to your wife and kids and your friends, and not to those who depend upon your work and not just for your own smart, funny, hard-working and deeply kind self.
