Yikes Chris that is awful! Albeit not as bad as it could be, I suppose. Do you have renters insurance? Were you able to go back in at all and/or secure the apartment? If nothing else I'd recommend taking lots of photos/videos. I hope it all works out ok, but what a hassle to have to go through.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, chris! Glad you're OK, and I hope most of your stuff is OK.

Our wings are not tired.
Crop, chrismg! How awful. What meara said. I haven't gone through it myself, but I did have a friend who did the inspection stuff and he said the insurance companies were generally good about damage, including even smoke damage because some things like furniture you can't get the smell out of.
Haven't watched yet, but in theory I think I will like hostless substantially more than the awkward scripted roasting stuff they have done in the past. Ick.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Whoa! sorry chris.

I now realize this is not worth complaining about, but is anything more annoying at work than getting instructions you don't quite understand, working on something, and then getting feedback that it should basically be the thing you started with a month ago? (Not that I've been working on this for a month. Mostly I've been not-working on it.)

Jesse I've had something of the opposite experience, where I put off doing a difficult or massive task, only to find, when I buckle down to do it, that I need more information before I can actually start, and would've realized that weeks ago if I'd started it when I should've.

That is also annoying!
Work is annoying.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Work is annoying! I am currently annoyed at the higher ups flying by saying "everything ok? Anyone need help?" or even "Good morning" so fast that by the time I turn around to respond they are gone. That does not count as interaction in my book.

There's a company here in town where the supervisors ride bicycles through the cubicle areas. It's supposed to be cool and funky and everyone I ask seems horrified when I make the comparison to the overseer on his horse riding through the cotton fields.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Glad you're ok, chris, but yikes!
