I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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

That's a great gift, Cashmere.

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

That's some toenail!

Why am I picturing this written in a spiderweb?

Not...commenting on politics today. But, yay, Zen, on job and a work environment that sounds pleasant!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I saw the Timothy Hutton thing a few days ago. Fuuuuuck everything.

Democrat turnout was up 650K in Texas, so that's something.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You know you've achieved something when you shock and dismay an intern who's dissected a medical cadaver recently!

Yeesh! When I was coaching Little League I had a kid absolutely scorch a line drive right off the front of my big toe. Ripped the nail out of the bed (not all at once). Turned black and fell off eventually. Lordy that fucking hurt.

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

Goddamn it, Hutton. How awful.

'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"

And I know somebody who literally, accidentally tore out his big toenail by catching it just wrong in a karate kick.

It grew back fine, though.

Probably if you're easily squicked, you don't want to go watch a season of The Toe Bro OR My Feet Are Killing Me...

What are you doing now, msbelle? All I took in was that you were working for the county?

Aren't you glad you know the sick policy SO WELL??

Everyone around me is sick with one thing or another. A couple are dancing with pneumonia. I think I just have a headache from the weather.

-t I am in the Director for Human Resources office. Right now I don't know enough to do anything, but I will be the project manager and special assistant. So like emergency coverage plans and gathering info on fast-tracking telework approvals and flagging processes that are still all done on paper - I think some of that is about to become urgent.
