Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Yes, I do at least remember knowing everything myself oh so long ago before I realized I knew nothing. It is only the knowledge that they will figure it out that keeps it endearing.

I remember when I joined TT I was 22. And in addition to the Buffy stuff I also ended up talking to a small bunch of lesbians who were all in their mid thirties to mid forties. And they seemed SO OLD AND ADULT. And now...my god.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well, that sucks, Matt.

Given the rest of it, getting yanked off the team is a bit of a relief. I don't envy my coworker who will be the next person on the hot seat. And there's plenty of other stuff I can be working on.

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

ltc fell and bit her tongue, which is now bleeding. What should I do?

Cali that sounds kind of like a project I'm on right now. They added me in addition to another woman with my role and decided they love me and hate her for no particular reason. She's getting kicked off the project and I am mad jealous.

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

Never mind. The bleeding has already stopped. Just momentary panic on my part.

Because books.

You could give her something cold to suck on if you want, sj. Poor ltc.

Calli, that sucks. I'm glad that your manager is supporting you, though.

I remember when I joined TT I was 22. And in addition to the Buffy stuff I also ended up talking to a small bunch of lesbians who were all in their mid thirties to mid forties. And they seemed SO OLD AND ADULT. And now...my god.

Sometimes I wonder if that's how the college kids at work see me.

She was over it quickly. Sucked on her sippy cup and put her binky in her mouth.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Well, that sucks, Matt.

At least the insult didn't really feel personal, since I was mimicking another artist's style that's very different from my own (I thought it was cute, but whatever). I just wish they could figure out and communicate what they actually want, rather than "that's not it" after the fact.

Oh well, I'm getting paid regardless.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yes, I do at least remember knowing everything myself oh so long ago before I realized I knew nothing.

I'm so glad my gormless youth was over before the Internet happened.

Given the rest of it, getting yanked off the team is a bit of a relief. I don't envy my coworker who will be the next person on the hot seat.

Exactly how I feel about getting my most problematic journal taken away and given to some other poor slob. It's gone through four editors in less than seven years; at this rate they'll burn through all of us in a few years. I'm so relieved to be rid of the dang thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

On April 21 I tell my boss that we are going to be moving and give a (very long) notice. I am counting the motherfucking days. I am overwhelmed with work right now. I just want to stay on their good side long enough that they will agree to tell our insurance broker that I will be working remotely so we can get approved and hopefully buy a place before we move.
