Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Lol I would support that Lisa! Thankfully I don’t usually have that many meetings (or that many in a row) and I’m hopeful that a couple of them will be brief or maybe even canceled. I hope. Because I know there’s a ton of emails awaiting me.

Happy Birthday, shrift!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm glad I only have one meeting today, because brain is just not functioning yet. As in, this year.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

We tried to have No Meetings Thursdays. It didn't last.

We're doing better with No Meetings Fridays.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My no-meeting Fridays usually wind up being only-one-or-two-meetings Fridays, which is still a vast improvement over the rest of the week. Our org-level monthly No Meeting Tuesday (today!) is a hilarious joke.

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

I have no meetings scheduled today, which is nice. Our key cards stopped working to open half the gates to the parking lots and most of the doors to the building, so that's fun.

Our wings are not tired.

I must say that when Kevin McCarthy is having a very bad day it improves my day.

That’s a little disturbing-t! Hope it got fixed!

I really don’t want to work….also I feel all weird and shaky. I thought it would go away after I ate a slightly late breakfast, but no. Grr.

Thrive to spite them

I had a dentist appointment today I thought to get a crown but it was just a filling. Took no time. And then they had an opening for a cleaning ao I did that. Glad I did because it had been over a year and my teeth really needed it. I think if I had waited much longer I would have needed a deep cleaning.

And then M is dealing with VA frustrations. He had an appointment and got prescriptions for pain meds and anti anxiety med and they mail those. But nothing arrived. I've been reminding him to call and finally he did...there is no record of the prescriptions. So now he needs another appointment which will be months away probably.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I wonder just how much the wing-nuts can piss off their own caucus before five Republicans say "fuck it" and switch parties.
