Aww, RIP Carol Channing. I always had a bit of a soft spot for her. I have to find the video that had her stuck in a traffic jam. Hmmm.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Would someone please yell at my roommate about her late rent? She has to move some financial stuff around, which she is behind on (talk to bank about her IRA, et cetera) but it seems as though she just can't get around to it.
I gave her a week, and yesterday I (after warning I would) I changed the Wifi password, but even that isn't helping much.

Well, fuck. Can't talk about it right now, but I feel like I just got fucked over on something important.

Can't decide if I feel like I'm gonna barf because I have so much snot in me or I'm about to run a meeting which I am sadly unprepared for (despite trying to prepare for; it's just... a lot.)

I'm sorry, Theo. She really should understand that it isn't a flexible obligation.
Ugh, Gud. I take it related to the ongoing politics. I hope it turns out better than expected.
Can you go home, sarameg?
I should be working, and yet.

I AM home. No way in hell I was going into the office today. But I have a shitton to do. Like this meeting in 7 minutes.

Something totally different. The politics is annoying, but not all that important.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh, I'm sorry for everyone having a tough time.
I am stressed by proxy because my husband is stressed with his job. and he's not good at thinking through ways to alleviate his stress. Plus, new insurance to start the year, so we needed to find a new optometrist and make sure the dentist has the new information and next week I have an appointment with the psych and the pharmacy needed the new insurance and I needed a PA for my migraine medicine, but my doctor insisted it had to come from the pharmacy, so I had to request a refill...
Greatest country in the world, right?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Brexit agreement just got crushed in the House of Commons. I wonder how long it will take for May to resign and/or elections to be called.

It would be nice if any solution to the Brexit situation existed, but I haven't seen any presented yet. Well, that don't involve a timelord anyway.
I was supposed to go to 'the big game' tonight with DH where his undefeated HS team plays against another powerhouse undefeated team. Unfortunately this morning we got word that the game was changed from an evening game to 3:30 this afternoon. It is the reason that is particularly upsetting. Too many recent incidents of gun and knife violence at games in Palm Beach County. Police officials decided it would be safer to change the game to immediately after school to cut down on outside people who could make it there. It's an away game for us so our kids have to leave early. Now I am worried because I rather expect our kids to win handily because they are that good and I don't want the home team's fans to hurt anyone.
They will have security. Actually last game one of the security people went to wave DH past as a coach, and he said no that there should be no exceptions when it came to safety, including the principal. So, you know some safety ~ma would be appreciated. Many of the incidents have been parking lot stuff too.
