I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Our wings are not tired.

Like, did you guys know that lunch is a WHOLE EXTRA MEAL?

My salvation is last night's dinner leftovers. We both work at home.

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

My salvation is last night's dinner leftovers.

We normally have leftovers for dinner on Thursdays. But this week there aren't going to be any, because we ate them all for lunch.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Why do people think "what is your disability?" And "is there anything you can do about it?" is small talk?

Oh, FFS.

If you can't find real sanitary wipes, but you can get baby wipes, take a package of those and pour in a quarter-cup of bleach, then re-seal it up and let it penetrate. Tada, homemade sanitary wipes. (Does assume you have access to wipes and bleach.)

Filing this away for future reference.

Looks like UW Madison is calling it. I feel like the satellite universities (including ours) will feel pressure to shut down.

Still working on the face touching thing. I love my face.

it works great as a standing desk when I set it on the dining room table

Thanks, Steph! I'll check it out. I have a lap desk, but something like this probably will be better for my back.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Still working on the face touching thing. I love my face.

I was touching my face as I read that. My default position when I read (internet or print) is to prop my head in my left hand, sometimes with my fingers across my face (I don't even know; I'm a feral child), and sometimes gnawing on the side of my thumb. So basically I need to boil my hands in bleach at all times.

t edit As soon as I hit post, I immediately propped my head back in my left hand. Jesus, Steph. You are a wreck of a feral child.

Seriously, I wipe my eyes approximately 98,645 times a day.

Fuck me, how is it almost 3:00??? I need to stop taking internet breaks and finish this article. Shoo me away if I'm back here before dinner (unless I say I finished editing) (I promise I will not lie about it just so I can post).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My face has never itched more in my life, now that I'm not supposed to touch it.

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

Seriously, I wipe my eyes approximately 98,645 times a day.

Since I'm a contact lens wearer, I'm already pretty good about grabbing a tissue if I feel a need to rub my eyes.

My face has never itched more in my life, now that I'm not supposed to touch it.

THIS, on the other hand...

'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"

I feel like I'm not a face-toucher much, but then it all turns around when I sit down and start reading on the computer.
