Just got a work call (our office is closed/everyone is on vacation, but there is still year-end work happening), which I'm glad I answered because I definitely could not help! So I could just say that and be done with it.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hope you are asleep, msbelle. Or were recently, at least.
Very sensible, Calli
Good one, Jesse
I am super reluctant to get out of bed and start working. Final day this week, I should just get it over with.

I do not like this trend of my boss sending something out to the team at 9 pm "for our meeting tomorrow" - no one is seeing that until a couple hours before the meeting and we'll have other things that need doing. Bah.
ION, for the last few days I keep returning to the idea that if the Whos of the Grinch story are the same as the Whos Horton hears, they are tiny and so the Grinch and Max and the roast beast must also be tiny and for some reason this is blowing mind. Like, the scale I have been imagining is just all wrong.

I also kind of wish that no one at my company had learned the phrase "directionally correct"

They are all tiny! That is funny to think about.

-t is me, I am -t. I did not get out of bed until I was already 20 minutes late to be logging on to work. If anyone noticed no one said anything.
So last day of work for the week and EVERYONE HAS QUESTIONS! Luckily not my boss or big boss, but other employees and retirees and constituents. ARRGH. Well over half of these just get sent to other Departments, but do I know who they should go to? About half the time, I do not.

Porto's order was delivered to parents. I scaled it way down to just muffins and a loaf of Sourdough. Of course my parents are like "there is no need to do this, we are fine." and I am "YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME, LET ME HAVE FUN!"

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
the phrase "directionally correct"
This phrase is new to me. I suspect that I'm lucky.
I'm halfway through my workday. I'm also off tomorrow and Friday and the whole of next week. My focus is pretty non-existent right now.

Awwww

Mostly it has just lost all meaning (and I feel like it didn't have much to start with)
