My walk to work is most of the parade route from Sunday, and it was very disappointing to be walking on the sidewalk in my work clothes instead of in the street with my trombone!! Wah-wahhhh. (Which sound I can't actually make, due to not having a mute. Or appropriate hat to use.)
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My coworker logged into the 7AM morning 10 minutes late, right before her time to speak, and helpfully informed us that the reason she was late was because she was still sleeping and forgot about the meeting.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I just caught up on the posts from over the holiday weekend.
If Kavanaugh triggers you, you may want to avoid the BBC's news Web site this morning.
meara, feel better soon.
Gud, let me add to the chorus -- your wife is abusing you. And there are several ways out. There's therapy for you (alone or with her). Support groups can be very helpful. And there's always packing a suitcase and walking out the door. But please memorize and internalize the following: The current dynamic between you and your wife is unacceptable. She has no right to treat you the way she does.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, Dana. Drew Brees, though.
I'm conflicted over this reveal that you cannot make your trombone sad, Jesse

Perfect.

Me too! I mean, I could make it happen, but haven't yet. Suddenly one day a few months ago, I was like "WAIT! Sad trombone! What is that even???" so I asked my friend and she pointed out the need for a mute.

Take your kids. Do not let them be subject to her abuse.

Yeah, worth it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Do cowgirl hats work as trombone mutes?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
So I had an incredibly fun morning.
First, Alexa was an asshole to me. (I asked "Alexa, will it rain today?" and she responded in her snottiest robot voice "It is raining right now" with the unspoken "stupid human" loud and clear. This is how the robot uprising begins.)
Then, I realized as my train pulled into Grand Central that my wallet was back at home. I can make do with just my phone, but not having access to my cash or MetroCard is anxiety-producing.
Someone at work said there was an Uber strike today. That's going to make getting downtown for class without a MetroCard even MORE FUN.
Then my work computer locked me out for no good reason. I eventually got my account unlocked but I GET IT TECHNOLOGY, YOU HATE ME TODAY.
And this crappy summer weather in October is giving me a sinus headache.
HOW IS EVERYBODY ELSE THIS FINE MORNING?

I actually think I got rid of that hat in one of my moves! So I can't test it.

Better than that, man! Yikes.
