I would expect a goatscape to look something like this.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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.

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!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Whoa. You aren't blackmailing commissioners, are you, Tom?
Congrats, Laura!
