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

Just heard that a coworker who was laid off last year died this week. Pancreatic cancer. Younger than me and a good guy. Sad now.

The company is, I guess, planting a memorial tree or something, which is nice, and the HR VP referred to him as "Michael" in her announcement about that, which is his name but a while back he sent out a mass email explaining very seriously that he identified as "Mike" and we shouldn't call him "Michael" - it was very funny and the people arranging the memorial gift not knowing that is, I don't know, bittersweet

-t, I think you should tell them so they don;t refer to him as Michael at anything else.

Thanks, y'all. I will think about that, msbelle. If I could drop by their office and mention it, I would, but drafting an email to explain it might be beyond me.

And now the warehouse is closing due to bad air quality, which means my air quality must be bad. That might have something to do with how lethargic and Out of Can I am feeling...respirator time

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I woke up to the news and am totally gobsmacked.. Out for a drive with Jason this morning and it was all we talked about, well, along with critiquing every song which came up on the radio.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I'll believe he has it when I see ICU footage of him with a respirator inflating and deflating him like a bellows.

There's a happy thought! I have completely given up on my karma.

I've given up on my karma, too, because I am a bad person and actively wished for this.

(When I said that to Mr. Loomy, his response was, "The news broke Oct. 1st? G-D, never piss off the witches.")
