Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

((((((((Gud))))))) dude! You need a break!

This reminds me that one of my few actual friends at work is suddenly facing a very messy divorce.

She found out her husband had stolen their son's graduation money, which led to the revelation that he (the husband) has been using meth! They have 4 kids, 2 are high school age and 2 small ones, one a toddler. She is supporting the family because he mysteriously can't keep a job, so he has been the most-of-the-time caregiver for the baby! I knew there was something screwy there, but I'M no expert on relationships.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

So I started my new job yesterday. Except what I am really doing is handing over my old job to our new administrator, which is now making her realize that what I am doing is huge and it might take multiple people to replace me. No one had any idea how much I am getting done. Which is a huge ego boost, but also makes me feel a little annoyed because I would frankly rather stay doing what I was doing with an assistant than move to this other position. I am pretty sure within a year they will end up opening a higher paid position doing what I actually like even though I was told there was no chance of it. It also makes me feel embarrassed because there are serious things about being an admin I am horrible at, and those will also be discovered ? Like I don't actually order books every semester, I just made an arrangement with the bookstore to order the same books unless I tell them otherwise.

In addition is there a word for a disorder that is the opposite of being on the ASD spectrum, because I think I have it. I can do easily predict how people are going to react and what will be the final result that it is very frustrating. I think I got it from my days stage managing or working in costumes or even customer service, but I feel like it is some sort of disorder, because people don't believe me I until they experience it. And if I try to be logical and not take people's reactions into account, it always backfires. So I just trust the intuition thing, but it is hard to logic out with people.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That seems super inefficient, Suela. I would just take the stairs.

It is too fucking hot to run errands at 7PM. Fuck global warming. Fuck humanity.

It's been a long day. ltc missed the memo that she was supposed to be nice to me on my birthday. She had more tantrums today than I can count.

Oh, no! But happy birthday anyway, sj. May this be a good year for you.

I have cream puffs in the oven. Every time I make choux pastry I remember how simple it is.

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

Aw, sj, I'm sorry ltc is not cooperating.

Is that emotional intelligence in action, Sophia?

Very cool, 'Suela!

Cauliflower gnocchi update: just covered in jarred red sauce and microwaved, quite nice.
