Oh jeez, Toddson. Hopefully you can figure out a way to wiggle out. That will bring nothing but grief.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I am the third or fourth oldest person in my lab.(The head of the lab and one senior scientist are definitely older than me, and one person working in the blood core has a granddaughter so she might be older than me) Most of the people in the lab are post-bacs, so they are in their early-to-mid 20s.
With luck my gormless youthful postings are lost to the mists of internet history.(First place I started posting was GEnie, if anyone except Theodosia remembers it)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, ugh, Toddson, that sounds like a terrible situation! I hope you can get out of that.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I hate jobs! why do we need them so badly?
Mine sucks, but I need it to survive. It's a Very Large Corporation, TM. And they keep coming up with ridiculous NEW IDEAS with UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS!
Today my manager almost gave me a heart attack by telling me I was in serious danger due to the NEW ATTENDANCE POLICY that means having 6 unplanned absences in 1 year is a VERBAL WARNING situation and that I couldn't be sick again until October.
Luckily, the more she tried to explain it to me the more unfair she realized it was and appealed it to her manager and knocked me out of the danger zone...and no cracks about Kenny Loggins or ARCHER!
But, it's typical of this very unwieldy company that everything they do seems very poorly planned and guaranteed to fail. It's exhausting!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yikes, quester. That's such corporate bullshit.

And the best part is every year just before the holidays, they let us know how badly things are going and how they will have to trim the budget and we get to guess who's job will disappear next! Happy Holidays!
They suck, but I'm 61 and not exactly living in a hot bed of industry now.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
He has a company credit card but doesn't see any need to keep receipts....
Yikes. What are the chances of either a) getting his company credit card privileges revoked, or b) getting the charges withheld from his pay and only reimbursed when he successfully completes the expense report process himself? Slim and none?

Also ugh quester! Glad she realized that that was some bullshit as she was explaining it.
I am so happy to be home, today was about a million years long. And now I am going to go to bed, go directly to bed, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
I've already fed the critters and am now having dinner, so not all that directly, but that is certainly my mindset.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I would like to go to bed, but someone who was supposed to be home at 9 from a movie with friends is not home and not answering texts.
