I got in a little early, was SUPER EFFECTIVE for an hour, just had my one meeting of the day, and now I feel like I'm done. This may be an issue!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Don't remind me about the lack of summer Fridays here!!
Find some compromising information on her, and use it to blackmail her into staying?
I didn't even think of that!
I have some other stuff to do, but I might go take a little walk outside first.

It is a beautiful, sunny day here. Not too hot, not terribly humid, and I'm working at home with the windows open. My cat has informed me that doing things on a computer instead of taking him for a walk outside is a terrible choice and I should be ashamed for making it. In rebuttal, I say, kibble ain't free little dude.

Kpop is *melting down* with career-ending scandals, people, it's a hot mess, but it has brought me word-related joy despite it all. Lots of people talking about kpop in English online do so despite English not being their first language. Yesterday I saw the beautiful sentence "They are using Hanbin as an escape goat" and today brought me "goatscapes".
ESCAPE GOAT

I would expect a goatscape to look something like this.

TIL the English word scapegoat was invented by Tyndale in 1530 to translate a Hebrew word that appears in the Bible (meaning... scapegoat, in the context of drawing lots regarding actual goats; a goat was selected to bear the burden of people's bad actions and was sent off into the wilderness). It's in Leviticus. "And Aaron cast lottes ouer the .ij. gootes: one lotte for the Lorde, and another for a scapegoote."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Poor goats.
Moving papers from one place to another counts as organizing stuff, right?

Our wings are not tired.
twirls into thread doing the dance of mother of employed adult child Took #1 for an interview yesterday. They said 3-5 days to hear anything, then an hour later asked him to come in for second interview this morning. I brought him and a half hour later he messaged me to pick him up at 7 because he was in training! Send make~it~last~ma please. Woot!
PLOT TWIST, Tom is an evil genius. I did not see that coming.
Yep, I suspected as much.
Escaping goats!

An escape goat should be one a monkey rides to freedom.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Speaking of escape goats, my big big boss, the department's Commissioner, just resigned (i.e. "resigned"). He was the sixth Commissioner in 12 years.
