You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, today is apparently Employee Appreciation Day? We got an email thanking us for all our hard work and are being entered in a raffle so some people will get some kind of bonus-y thing but no leaving early or free lunch or what have you for the rest of us. I was feeling more appreciated before the email, frankly.

Oh yeah, I was maybe going to bring in donuts or something, but now it's too late and they get NOTHING!! ::evil laugh::

Same.

Y'all, I just had to explain to someone what a memo is. Can I retire now?

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

How did you even do that, Jesse? I would just wave my hands around and say "you know, a memo. Like in "You didn't get the memo?" I'll send you one"

IOW, yes, your pension should kick in now

I have reached the stage of the day when I am gazing at my to do list and trying to convince myself that none of these things really have to be done today. It is also time for enchiladas, though, so yay for that. I didn't win anything in the employee appreciation raffle, boo.

There will allegedly be king cake at the thing tomorrow, I can pretend that is for me.

That's basically what happened. I kept saying, "Like....a memo" until I realized I should send an example.

my god, what a nightmare.

I went running and climbed, and went to lunch and they gave me some free beer, which was great. I was going to go see the next Train Your Dragon movie but I'm lazy and I think I'll take a nap instead.

I do love having a compressed work schedule...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It snowed last night, but not much, so everything was as usual. Now it's raining.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

We've got an overnight Snow Emergency here in the land of Too Few Parking Spaces. If I go out driving tomorrow, I'll almost surely lose my space. Of course, by the time I get finished driving and making money, the emergency could be over and suddenly there's twice as many spaces as there were when I started.

OTOH, not having a driveway means not having to shovel it. Le Sigh.

I chipped a front tooth that already was chipped, so I am feeling grumpy and snaggletoothed today.
