I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Our wings are not tired.

I am going back and forth with the airline, who insist on having our bank account info before they decide if they owe us money.

That is just all kinds of wrong. eta: whoever said before have them mail a check was right on.

Matt, I did the same. It is icky feeling when someone goes through the car, but less icky than a broken window. Now I am keeping it in the garage so that is even better!

Why he's behaving so badly I don't know.

I'm sorry, Sheryl. It does get easier when they are more verbal because you can talk things out.

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

I thought at first you were telling me I had a lot more reasons to be functional

Oh, god, no! More reasons to hate everything. I have no idea how anyone is managing to function. Ugh on the airline

Good question. How are we functioning? I used to watch news while I was waiting for various processes to run while working. Now I use sudoku, solitaire, mahjong, and that type of thing to fill the short wait times. I'm reading a lot more and watching more fictional tv too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If I didn't have plans with a friend, I would leave work right now and go home, but she hasn't actually confirmed that we're on and I feel like she might cancel. I wish she would! But of course spending time with friends is a good idea, too....

TCG bought me tickets to see Rachel Bloom from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend doing stand up! It's a birthday gift, even though the show isn't until October.

And we just got sent home. I'll take it.

Huh. My little waterfront is getting a second hotel. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Welp, guess that's enough cooling off. Just got copied on the "we quit" email to the restaurant. So that's the end of that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

First day of tech, 11:15pm and we just hit "Gary, Indiana". That's a cruel earworm to end on.

False alarm! It was just a mic check!
