"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Weakness and vulnerability are human, not a sin. We need each other and it is a good thing. I am saying this as someone whose father raised her to "live her life in solitude". I am so much better and happier and healthier for my friends. I am happy that I need their help at times, as they need mine. Relying solely on yourself is not humane. No wonder you feel like you do. Please, seek help.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My 7AM meeting today is a 2-hour planning-type meeting, which already a joy. I logged in two minutes beforehand, and the people in the actual conference room were discussing something else. Meetings never start on time anyway, so I was chilling, as were the several other remote people.

My coworker logs in right at 7, because she's always late, and immediately blares HELLO to make sure they pay attention to her.

Now she's chatting me whining about how they were chatting in French and she had to interrupt them to get them to speak in English.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thank you, Laura. I have a cup of tea and then we're off to a brunch, a museum, and dinner tonight. And I have a new Tulip Funko POP along with other spoils.

She is way too Extra for this time of the morning.

And they're changing the meeting, so I probably got up for nothing.

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

Same way, but with a Gallic shrug, and possibly a Gauloise in your hand.

I'm pretty sure in French it's "Eugh."
