We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.
