You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Matt, no!

Oh Cash, I'm so sorry.

Please no roof jumping in 2020.

Oh my goodness Matt. I really hope the other two are on the mend for real.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Please no roof jumping in 2020.

Yeah, I forgot that it's 2020. And that I'm old.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Nattering

“I’m sorry. Only the owner of the account can make changes.” “OK. Well the owner’s auto pay card was frozen at his death, so good luck with that account.”

Yeah.

Even though I know Askye is A skye and I really in my head say her real name, when I sound it in my head....Ass key

I totally know and pronounce her real world name correctly. But board name gets creative.

We’re supposed to “let her know if we’re not comfortable.” So once again because one of my coworkers won’t follow CDC guidelines

Welcome to my workplace. Where I know they want to move me back upfront but since no one else masks, heck no. And since I complained to my CPT’s boss, the MAJ it’s documented. I’m guessing he will let me stay back here, I already have to interact with clients being sent overseas but at least they mask when I go out to talk to them.

Cass, I feel like your life lately has been full of big fights for things that shouldn't give anyone trouble. There was the move, your voting status, and now this AT&T screwery with the phone. Sheesh.

You are not wrong.

David, I’m so sorry about your sister’s diagnosis.

Damn, Cashmere that it so, so awful.

TCG and I have been married 10 years today!

Wow, I remember your first date! Congratulations!

Happy birthday, Jessica!

My phone still occasionally defaults to ita when I type it’s. Like my phone, I miss her too.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Cash, you are in the right, as I am sure you know. Suicide attempts with guns are much more likely to be successful than other methods. So I’m glad that we were never a gun family, otherwise I’d likely be down a sister. I’m so sorry.

MM, WTF?

Cindy, this has already come up once. My coworker’s mom got COVID earlier this summer and I said that I thought we should be following CDC guidelines. Crickets. Basically it was fine for me to miss work if I wasn’t comfortable but desire to actually follow said guidelines. I’m going to email boss and ask her when he was exposed and when her negative test was.

Cereal: I let Darth know about amyth and I just texted juliana to make sure she’s in the loop. Just to avoid duplicate efforts. Anyone else who has wandered away who might want to know?

What is even happening?

Matt, I'm so sorry about Little Britches (which might be the most adorable pet name I've ever heard). I hope Molly, Jackson, and your aunt recover quickly.

Maria, how are you feeling?

It's so wrong to put you in that position, smonster. I am angry on your behalf.

I jumped off a roof. Because dumb.

So less My-rickle-mang and more like My-ankle-mang?

Please no roof jumping in 2020.

I'd say that 2021 is the year we're going to push people off roofs instead, and I've compiled a list, but that would be evidence a tall tale.

Oof. This Tropical Storm Eta in Florida makes me want to get out the red pen, every time I see the name in print.


juliana - Nov 12, 2020 3:41:48 pm PST #29366 of 30019
I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Thank you, smonster.

Big hugs to everyone who wants one. This year just keeps kicking people, doesn't it?

Good grief, 2020. Good thoughts to all that need them...

I jumped off a roof. Because dumb.

...even those that brought it on yourselves.
