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

Oh, hah, I had tacos birria for lunch and it was pretty great.

I had more appropriate reactions to a lot of stuff as I was reading/lurking but that is all I can manage with current brain, sorry

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oh, hah, I had tacos birria for lunch and it was pretty great.

That does sound great!

I put my newly pickled onions in a little Reuben slider. What I was hankering for but small enough not to make me feel greasy and bloated for hours.

The tale of the SIM card concludes with David discovering an ATT store literally next door to Matilda's school. Went there and got a new SIM card in about ten minutes.

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

Timelies all!

Had a virtual appointment with my prescribing psychiatrist today and she was 15 minutes late. Ugh.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

If someone wants to bring me birria OR a Reuben I will happily take some home pickled onions on either.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Tonight I had salmon on the pasta salad I made last night, and it was all so good that I need to go to bed right now, because I don't think the day can get better from here.

Always Anti-fascist!

Newish attendant has time-management skills like the average lemur. Also, a really dramatic family life with damn-near Sons of Anarchy in it...I think she's just gonna be late a lot, though it makes my mother nuts.(maybe more because she's the only person who'd really put me first)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So I've been trying to hire on permanently this guy who has been a contractor for us (full-time) for about a decade. He's really awesome, very knowledgeable, good with everyone. We announced the position, he applied, I told HR I wanted him-- and they said he wasn't eligible because he hadn't uploaded a copy of his transcript with his application.

I'm beside myself. This was our opportunity for us to get him on board, and for him to have a more secure position. And it's fucked up. They don't even need his official transcript! But he's dealing with some family stuff right now, and must have just missed that bit of the announcement.

I don't know what we're going to do. So upsetting.

Oh that’s annoying Consuela. I always hear government hiring is the weirdest.

I would take any of the food options mentioned they all sound great! Though maybe no pickled onions with the salmon.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Hey Teppy, don't want to ruin your perfect day, but is there a connection between Plaquenil and Doxycycline Hyclate? I was prescribed the former, but got the latter from CVS. Are they comparable? I mean, I could call the doctor's office, but why not just ask people on the internet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fuck.

One of Matilda's two closest friends (Mia) just got released from a psych ward after trying to commit suicide.

She tried to call Matilda but...Matilda's phone didn't have a SIM card so she didn't get the call.

Everything feels so chaotic and consequential.

I've got to say this narrative has serious pacing issues.

As an editor I have notes.

I'm so tired and sad and frazzled.
