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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have received 11 resumes for my assistant position. My favorite special skill so far is "can operate a Zamboni"

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

I have a snow day today! So far, haven't does a goddamn thing except sit in front of the fire and cruise the internet.

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

Glad to hear that, Consuela!

Oooh, Zamboni is a good skill!

I am having chicken noodle soup for lunch and it is delicious. As far as work goes, I feel totally behind and like I will never catch up, but I am actually getting things done, so maybe it's not that bad? We'll see, I guess.

I'd bring them in for an interview on the strength of that. C'mon, they found a way to live the dream!

Ask them what the craziest thing they've done on a Zamboni is.

From across the cubicle wall: "I'm barely remembering names, you want me to do faces too? Man, you're double-dipping there."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I've done MORE insurance stuff. We switched to husband's insurance because it was better and cheaper, but Jesus, I almost wish we'd stayed where we were, because at least everything was set up.

If it's a theatre tech this may well mean they worked on board a Royal Caribbean ship at some point. Many of them have ice rinks in one of the theaters and the techs are responsible for operating the zamboni.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am back at work! People are being kind and friendly, and I brought in a cake.

Yay!

That is so great.

I have a snow day today! So far, haven't does a goddamn thing except sit in front of the fire and cruise the internet.

Yay! That's the best kind of snow day.

OK, I finally got to a senior person about one of the annoying situations, so we'll see what she says.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sounds like a good way to spend a snow day to me.
