'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Steph, I think you should have gotten the extended warranty when you married Tim.

I saw a conceptual bumper sticker which I should get for my own car. It reads, in full: OPINIONS!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, I think you should have gotten the extended warranty when you married Tim.

Seriously. That would have paid for itself by now.

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

That's a great bumper sticker.

Y'all, I probably should not be talking about this but our VP of Sales just went poof. It's probably not really as sudden as it seems, but I have to wonder if I should be more worried about the future of the company...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's snowing here. They let people go home early. Well, non-essential personnel could leave by 1, but I'm essential so I stayed.

Last I checked we were supposed to get a dusting, but now I'm mildly worried.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

So glad Tim is feeling better today!

We were supposed to get an inch. It's closer to 3 and it's still coming down. Accidents all over the place.

We weirdly have snow in the forecast for almost the whole next week. We rarely get it, and it looks like the high each day will be above freezing, but the low will be lower, so...yikes. Good thing I don't really have plans this weekend?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I'm glad Tim is feeling better today. One more vote here for Super!Tim!.

Yay! Mac, and Yay! Laura's elder child. Bon Voyage, Jess!

Stability to -t's work, and safe from snows, those who have it.

Encouragement to Calli, and basically anybody who needs it. I saw on FB that Miley likes her new foster placement, so good work there, msbelle. And I'm sending you a thought and energy boost, as fast as you're blowing through both those things.

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

I want to run back and get Miley, I miss her and I am projecting onto Bailey, but I think she misses her also. I know it is not the best thing though, so I am not doing it. HATES IT!

I am meeting someone a block away at the library to get rid of a tiny thing from my house. I'll see if Bailey will be ok being left inside again (that is how she was left for years, but with Miley she got a little destructive).

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Much am for Tim and Steph. Pain is, obviously, a very terrible thing.

I am in awe of msbelle, still, and how much she gets done.

Work right before a semester is still continuing to be just terrible, in that everyone needs everything now! Everyone is angry and frustrated. No one can communicate, and I get stuck untangling communication errors and getting shit done. But I have my own shit to do. And then no one wants to do work on the following semester because they are teaching. This three semester teaching schedule is too hard, I think, and we cant make substantive revisions when 30-40 people need help in a two week period! It is like having a fire hose in your mouth because everything is on fire at once!
