I'm sorry, Calli.
Husband's been on the phone with his third interview for an hour. I hope that's good?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry, Calli

Our wings are not tired.
Excellent, Dana!

So very sorry, Calli. It's so hard at a time like this.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm sorry, Calli.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm so sorry, Calli.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry, Calli.

Omg. My little sister just broke her ankle. She clearly wants to be just like me. Yikes. (Not as badly as I did though—sounds like maybe a cast rather than surgery, I hope?) thankfully she has a husband who can help her.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I'm so sorry for your loss, Calli. And as stated above, no reason a memorial can't be postponed. A service I was supposed to go to on the 20th got rescheduled to July.
Got news that my work has been closed down today - someone self-reported Covid-like symptoms. They're bringing in even more extra cleaners to do a deep-clean this afternoon, sent everybody home today, and the person was going to the doctor. We're supposed to call in tonight to find out if we're open tomorrow. I've been WFH for nearly 2 weeks, so I'm not concerned for myself, but I do worry about the people who have been going in every day. And it means that the tentative plan I had about running in to the office to pick up a couple things from my desk has been put on extended hold.
Are we worried about the wallet, msbelle, or just shaking our heads at the "I'd lose my head if it weren't attached"-ness?
Amy, I'm glad Sara's doing well. And I'm shaking my head at your boss' sheer nerve.
