I loved it as well ... I don't like audiobooks, but the book itself is FUN.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

What is even happening?
That's great, Laura. Moving in the right direction is everything.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I listened to the audiobook on Jess's rec - highly enjoyable
I was thinking about getting cheeseburgers delivered for lunch so I'm browsing Mel's Diner on DoorDash. A milkshake costs $5.69. Remember when the "Five Dollar shake" in Pulp Fiction seemed extravagant?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am up to 4 emails to Coworkers in my office with direct questions in them, some of the questions are yes/no and NO ONE IS RESPONDING!!
None of them are on the company IM system. Our boss refuses to mandate they log on. I REFUSE to call around to track down answers and then have no record of the responses.
My boss is in Europe at the company headquarters but he's about to get a gripe filled email about this. He would LOSE HIS MIND if they didn't respond to simple emails like mine.

Msbelle I hear your frustrations. I am so so over this and can not wait for the next two weeks to be over because people are frustrating the hell out of me and also doing things wrong on the Internet at work and it's driving me up a wall, and I'm a good person so don't want to just ignore it and have someone else down the line be like "wtf why did meara sign off on this wrongness?!?" But omg this is making my blood pressure go through the roof (and that is why I need this leave!)

Literally one of my emails:
"Are we done shipping for the day?" - sent to 3 people. NO RESPONSE.
I am working from home, we are toying with the idea of me working remotely more often, and I do a daily report on our shipping totals as well as reconcile what we shipped against what was ordered to locate any errors and make sure we have documented why there is a difference if it is questioned later. So, it is not as if I was just throwing out a question to be a busy body - I need to know so I can start running my reports and comparing the data.
After half an hour, I emailed 3 more people and one of them responded and replied all so that they all knew I had an answer.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just submitted my last paper of the semester. I am officially DONE WITH SCHOOL until September.

Our wings are not tired.
Woo! Well done, Jess!
Sorry about the lack of email responses. I only have to wait for customer responses, and if they aren't timely it is their loss.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay, Jess!
My MIL took us out for a much-belated birthday dinner. Good food. and Mr. S wasn't too wild.(Letting him run around a playground for a half-hour beforehand seems to have worked.)
