Instead of a victory lap, I get to go to a two-hour "new leader assimilation" meeting, so we'll see how that goes.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.
That does not sound like the victory prize you truly deserve, Jesse.
Sorry about the ick, Jessica. Good luck with the considerable juggling you have going on there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Did you change jobs recently and start working for the Children of the Corn?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Today is month end close and because I cranked through things yesterday, I was done early. Now just waiting to see if there are errors.
I have several errands I'd love to take care of, but can only do if we finish early.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I did some work, ate lunch, and now I'm AGAIN expected to do more work? This is setting up a terrible precedent.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
That's a really bad habit you're forming, Dana.

That's hardly a reasonable substitute.

I took the Big Scary Bus all the way over to the Beth Israel and back without incident -- I swear I was more stressed on the "scouting trip" with a normal-sized car to work out the route (no too-short underpasses).
Tomorrow I do it with an Actual Passenger in the back.

I'll have my SIL send you some big~bus~ma. She drives city bus for NYC in Manhattan. She's totally chill about it.
I did some work, ate lunch, and now I'm AGAIN expected to do more work?
So wrong.
My original intent was to head back to NY on the 4th, but my plate is still way too full. Not sure how I am going to manage this. I need a cloned me so bad.
