My big accomplishment today was making it out of the dentist without any problems requiring further attention, and I will TAKE IT.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As you should!
Epic, I have also had frozen shoulder, and thought the other one was going this week, but it came out of it, thank goodness. But man, my shoulders are twingy and wonky and I sleep on them fucked-up on the regular. Ugh.
ION, I've been watching too much GBBO, and I was thinking I should make puff pastry for Christmas, the one time I make a fancy dessert, and then I realized I could just do it anytime. And maybe I will!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In regard to the NRA information, I know an association (a not-for-profit, as opposed to a charity) I used to work for did something similar. The head person wanted to cut back and so a new person was hired for that position, but the outgoing one was kept on as a consultant. It is, as you might imagine, something that opens the door for a lot of, um, shenanigans. That new head person, after several years, decided he wanted to move on. Which was fine, except he hand-picked a successor with a deal worked out that the outgoing person would have a contract as a "consultant" at a high retainer. (This, luckily, came to naught, since right before the chosen successor was to be rubber-stamped by the board of directors, news broke that he had engaged in his own shenanigans at a previous place ... and so someone else got the job.)

It's hard for me to conceive of Oliver North as a good guy.

Not "good" I'd say, just less horrible.

Toddson, I know. It's hard to believe that Ollie was right about pretty much anything.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My employer is looking for people already within the org to become Technical Producers for live streaming content. I'm trying to assess if I can learn enough fast enough to do this.

My employer announced they are doing a talent competition. Luckily, I have no talent.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's an exciting prospect, aurelia
What about couch-flipping, Gud?

Our wings are not tired.
You can do it, aurelia!
