Pretty sure I would vote for John Rogers for President:
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Cass! OMG! So glad you're OK.
msbelle, I am sorry. Health~ma. And generally, health~ma in every direction.
(Fun fact: I'm a 35 years old in a grad school. I can spell lots of words, including long and complicated words, but every isn't one of them. I keep writing it evrey, every time. Yay spellcheck).

Now that you mention it, I pronounce every as evrey. Huh.
Case, I'm glad you're ok, even if your tires aren't.

Our wings are not tired.
Yikes, Cass. I had a bit of an adrenaline rush just reading about it. Yay skillz.
I don't know about the post office these days.
Yeah, I've had things returned that were 100% fine too, and things that take forever. I still get checks in the mail from most of my customers because checks mean no fees for credit cards, but some have just disappeared. I suspect they have morale issues there.
Yay spellcheck
My favorite computer advancement of all time, says one who wrote most of her college papers on a typewriter. It taught me how to spell words I misspelled for years. What I don't get (glares at DH) is why people don't activate it for all writing, or do they just ignore the squiggly line?
I had to add yay ages ago to my dictionary because it always got a squiggly line and I disagreed.

A platform worth endorsing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My local mail has been better than ever -- I just picture the local PO people sitting in meetings saying, "Fuck DC, we're going to do our jobs!"
Pretty sure I would vote for John Rogers for President:
100%

Yikes, Cass. I had a bit of an adrenaline rush just reading about it.
What Laura said!
A manager that I'm working with on a project has scheduled time this afternoon to offer me constructive feedback, so now I have to figure out how to accept that gracefully when what I really want to do is react like a truculent child.

What is even happening?
John Rogers has my support for 2024. He's promised to enact my mandatory snacks and naps law* in his first 100 days.
*I'm pretty sure I developed this here a gazillion years ago (or possibly on LJ, which for me was also mostly Buffistas), so it's our law.

'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"
Yikes, Cass! I'm so happy that your instincts and muscle memory kicked in when they were really needed. Part of survival is luck, but it's also hitting the sweet spot between freezing up and flailing about.
