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

(PS if anyone wants to buy an antiquarian book business with a gorgeous house attached, they're still looking for buyers!)

OMG. I could afford that! Tempting.

I will try again later. For Science!

I'm counting on you, man.

I can't help with the resume, but I'm on LinkedIn if you want to link to me.

But maybe my eyebrow area is numbed from years of abuse?

I thought about that too, but when I pluck chin hairs that doesn't hurt either, and the chin hasn't had years of plucking to toughen it up. (My eyebrows have thinned, so I think of chin hairs as lost and wandering eyebrow hairs.)

I just tried it. While I wouldn't recommend it as a fun pastime, it in no way approached the pain of yanking a nose hair out—I think the roots of those stretch all the way to my spinal cord.

There, that dudebro is a super-sensitive princess. tommyrot, you still have to do it, though, to increase the sample size.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

For fans of Adult Wednesday Addams, it looks like the creator worked out the copyright disputes, because they're back.

You just made my husband's day.

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

I am trying very hard to be productive around the house today with limited success. One might even say trivial. Or negligible. But finite, so that's something to hold on to.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Last step of this whole process. Whoot!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The latest from my boss is he may cut both our salaries so the company won't be losing so much money. At least that gives me more time for job searching while still employed.

Um, what?

Isn't the company going under? Why should that come out of your personal income? You're not an owner.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Business is just really slow and the company is losing money. I think the alternative to a pay cut is losing my job. Even after a pay cut, I think I'd be laid off sometime later this year.

My boss hasn't decided yet. We're supposed to talk today.

Thanks, everyone, for your support. It means a lot to me.

For me, dealing with anxiety and depression makes me feel like my universe is shrinking as I avoid things I used to do and people I used to hang out with. It feels nice to have my universe expand again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad you're making moves on the job-search front, tommy. The sooner you get a new job, the better!

I thought about that too, but when I pluck chin hairs that doesn't hurt either, and the chin hasn't had years of plucking to toughen it up. (My eyebrows have thinned, so I think of chin hairs as lost and wandering eyebrow hairs.)

Same. G.d. chin hairs! But somehow my mustache is the same as ever?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I did things! Now I can't decide what I want to watch on the TV.
