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

I'm supposed to work today? What's up with that?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Right? I just want to repost Halloween stuff on Facebook and watch the Halloween episodes of Community and Brooklyn Nine Nine. But I have these huge tables full of nigh-incomprehensible medical data to edit. And towels to wash. Meh.

I just want to wander around the office and see everyone else's costumes and decorations, but there's all these stupid orders with dumb problems that need fixing.

One person got my costume without needing to be told who I was. One! Most people have appreciated it once I clued them in, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is why my office dedicates a day to it! You might get some work done that day, but not much, and that's what's expected!

My All Hallow's is being spent on a clear liquid diet in preparation for an endoscope to get far too personal with my lower innards tomorrow. The chicken broth I have is incredibly unsatisfying. I think I'm going to have to go to the store and get the broth that actually has fat in it so my stomach has something to work on. I don't have to start the purge until this evening.

That's what we always used to do, at least for an hour or two, but this year they are changing things up. Not pleased about it.

Aw, Connie, that's a drag. I recommend Jello. Or add unflavored gelatin to broth, that makes it a lot tastier and more filling.

Because books.

I went to work at the bakery this morning as Rosie the Riveter, and I swear half the people in the first two hours didn't seem to realize I was in costume.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I went to the office Halloween potluck as a plague doctor. The outfit was a hit. Not as much a hit as the Pegasus-unicorn with LEDs in her mane. But that's hard to compete with.

Plague doctor is a classic!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

One person got my costume without needing to be told who I was. One! Most people have appreciated it once I clued them in, though.

After they had already voted, people all started looking closely at my costume and going, "Oh, I get it! That's so great!", so somebody else won the costume contest. I got to vent for a sec in a friend's office so I'm mostly okay, but still a little hacked off. (Prize was a $50 GC, plus I tend to be pretty competitive. Sometimes it better when I just don't compete).
