You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

OMG, Todd, I'm so frustrated just reading all that!

We've been back in the office FT since June. I take a day to WFH here and there for appointments or days where I'm *kinda* sick, but not so sick I can't work at all. For a miracle, I've managed not to get Covid yet. *knock wood*

I went in to the counseling services office to pay off my balance, where the receptionist told me I only owed $328. We checked with the accounting rep I spoke to earlier today and she somehow subtracted $135 from $1030 and got $675 rather than the $895 I expected to pay, to which I said "good enough, here's a new check."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

JZ, let's trust that the tuxedo kitties of Ukraine are headbutting their little hearts out right now. Sweet decent things are ultimately what people fight for after all.

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

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Toddson, ask for some headphones to wear for your Zoom meetings.

Toddson, the person in the office next to mine uses speech to text software, and the person on the other side has to be on the phone all the time dealing with problems. Noise-cancelling headphones have saved my sanity.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've been back in the office for a couple of weeks, and I love it! But we get to do what we want, schedule-wise, everyone has an office they can shut the door on, and everyone is vaccinated and wearing masks.

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

Oh, good reminder to bring my noise canceling headphones in with me! Just in case I need them, I don’t really know what to expect

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I survived a day at the office! There was almost nobody there, including nobody from my division, despte the fact that there's supposed to be one clinical person there at all times, so I don't know what's up with that. But I'm wrung out and undelighted by all of it.
