Sitting in an airport bar. Drinking a high carb beer after a low carb salad. Waiting for co-workers.
At least we haven't bombed any more countries today?

No, but Sean Spicer is busy proving it's possible to be more horrifically tone-deaf and flat-out wrong than United Airlines, Pepsi, and Nivea.
The White House needs to hire someone who just stands off to the side during press briefings and yells "STOP TALKING! SEAN. SEAN! STOP TALKING SEAN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!"

Why don't they replace Spicer with the bullet-necklace lady? I'm fairly sure she is an android and could be overridden remotely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm embarrassed at how well I know all of these SYTTD episodes. I think it's time to go off it again. (I'll watch it constantly for a while and then have to stop for a longer while.)
I thought they were calling rompers onesies!
Oh yeah, that sounds right.
My neighbors have my spare key in their front foyer, and their door is often unlocked, so it's pretty convenient. And they aren't labeled or anything so not as dangerous as that sounds!

ION, I went to a thing on campus this afternoon, and the appointment said it was from 3 to 5, so planned to just come home after. Well, it ended at 4:30, and my boss was like, "You walking back to the office?" I am pretty proud of myself for saying no, actually. (I'm sure I'll be on email at least a little on my day off tomorrow, so you know it all works out.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I can't decide what my favorite part of the Spicer thing is. There have been so many comments about "his own people" that I think I might have to go with "Holocaust centers."

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

Thrive to spite them
They had an ad running in the Middle East with the line "White is Purity"

Ugh. Why do people have to suck?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"White is Purity"
That has to be the most inexcusable tone-deaf ad ever. There is just no excuse for that getting in print. It should've been shot down without mercy as soon as it was suggested. How can there be anyone (in the Western world at least) who can't immediately understand what the problem is there? Baffling.
