That's pretty sweet, -t!

Hi M M, long time no see!

I am impressed at Jesse's wordcrafting!

The leave of absence idea was a bust—although the employee handbook includes it up to a year, she said they almost never approve >60 days, and it's usually for extraordinary circumstances. And that's not enough in my mind—I'd just return to the same mess! So sent the official email to my manager, and told one of my project managers, and am about to tell the other. Whew!

Oh, and getting references sucks, Dana! One of the other perks of leaving my job is I figure it'll be easier to use current people, rather than trying to hide it!

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

Well, I'm glad you know where you are with all that, meara! I hope your job search is easy and you get to enjoy some actual leisure for a while.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The NYT has 10 years of Trump's tax returns. Reader, I gasped.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WOW.

And many in his core support will be delighted to see that he lived so large while losing that much money, because they'll see it as sticking it to the powers that be. Con men are admired, if they pull big enough jobs.

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

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Matt.

Yay, -t!

Yes, I'm sure his argument will be "Not true" followed by "But it doesn't matter, because I avoided paying taxes, so I win."

'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"

Buffistas are probably already aware that the New Testament Revelation chapter was meant as an extended political metaphor for current events in the early Church. But the leader(s) the authors had in mind were men exactly like DJT. In a bigly sense, he IS the Anti-Christ.
