Yikes, quester. That's such corporate bullshit.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

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?

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

Just a quick note to say how much I appreciate this place and you all and thank you for being my family.

Also I have had a fair bit of wine because of the above and I am trying to figure out what to wear to a hugo (an hugo? this is an important question for buffistae)
And it is necessary to tell the corset story now, which ... well ok dragoncon with a bff
and we go to try on corsets because I have always wanted one.
And they lace me up and I have a panic because it feels exactly like the Unpleasant Brace I wore for three years.
but bff is there and she's a superhero so I cannot let on I am having a panic. So I buy the corset and the jacket to go with and none of it I can afford, and we swan out.
And I do not wear this again until I confess all my weaknesses to a friend a year later and she figures out a way to lace it that 1. doesn't feel like Unpleasant Brace and 2. that I can take on and off myself.
And, readers, I had the best time. Also I found a hat [link]

Good hat. Good.
"Corset and the jacket to go with it" -- do you remember which company it was? Was it possibly Damsel in this Dress?
