Sleep is for people who didn't accidentally take a double-dose of extended release stimulant. At least I'm not worrying about anything other than how hard it's going to be to stay awake tomorrow.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear, -t! I hope you got enough sleep to make it through the day.

Our wings are not tired.
I hope sleep happened, -t.
oblivious teens and twentysomethings making blanket statements about how the world works without ever actually having been out in it
My eldest has tattoos on his wrists. Live on one and Learn on the other. It cracks me up all the time since he has done neither. I have not expressed this to him; the self-control to not roll my eyes and laugh in his face is the knowledge that he will look at these in 20 years and know how utterly absurd it was that he thought he knew anything. When he does spout off in know-it-all fashion I generally respond with my stock answer that lets him know he is being ridiculous. Son, you don't know shit in this life until you figure out you don't know shit. I'm extremely patient and tolerant of youthful folly for the most part, but I get triggered when they talk about their parents "materialism" or conspiracy theory political stuff. Mostly I smile and nod from an elderly tolerance position.
I think I need more coffee before I deal with people today.

Awake. Why. Meeting. Nooooo.

Oh, good, we're going to argue about the same thing we argued about last week.

Ugh, Dana. Your meetings sound torturous.
I'm up and dressed waiting for our repair man to come look at the leaky roof. ltc is still sleeping.

Along those lines, apparently the Youngs on my team are worked up about some restructuring that happened yesterday. We didn't get to have a meeting with our boss until after the all-staff email went out, but guess what? The restructuring doesn't actually affect us! My boss now has some additional people under her, but everything about my specific team stays the same. Just relax, people! This is a way bigger deal for a lot of other people.

I just kind of snapped at people who were about to dig in to an issue we voted on last week. Then there was silence.
