I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I would react, but I'm so tired.

Word.

I mean, I'm glad (and death by a thousand paper cuts to those who voted against), but so tired.

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

Cindy, I looked at your poll but none of it remotely applied to me so I just gave it a like without voting.

I'm in a meeting that could not have been an email but that I don't need to be in. And yet I can't leave.

-t, surely that's one of the circles of hell? Or aimless waiting rooms of purgatory? Anyhow, it sounds miserable. However, I have a vague notion of PO modifications (from having done holiday party deposits and reimbursements) and how fiendishly hard they are, so I am super chuffed for you on that front.

I still have two hours to kill but almost no day-job stuff to do (a little, but it will be both short and tedious, so I'm avoiding for the moment). For the first time in a while I am almost, very slightly, mildly regretful that the current occupant is banned from Twitter, because today's shitfit must be epic; but I'm only almost, because the reality would surely be terrifying.

Hey. New board.

Only 10 house republocans voted for impeachment. Removal won't be happening. Best case scenario now is a law to block him from ever running for office again.

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

Funnily enough, I just had a call with my boss wherein he wanted to know if I had any feedback about said meeting. I did indeed. I did *not* say it was a total waste of time.

Mmmm. Got my peach cobbler from a new bbq place that opened up a few blocks from my house during quarantine times so I haven't been to the actual restaurant and this is actually the first time I've ordered from them because of the vagaries of finding an intersection amonth their open times and my having money times and my not being currntly obsessed with some other kind of food times but it all came together today! Yum.

Ate the dessert first because of reasons, but also got some bbq and sides to try. So far so good.

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

Timelies all!

Waiting for the e-mail from the appropriate people at work letting me know I can schedule the 1st COVID vaccine shot.

What is even happening?

Thanks, JZ. I was hoping people would share it to get an idea of how much this happened, but it didn't catch people's eye. It's a little gross that Disney-ABC, as a company, is bifurcating impeachment programming from its news division, based on location.

move out and draw fire

We've spent four years normalizing increasingly grotesque and extraordinary behavior... I think it's going to be like adjusting to being back on dry land after months at sea.

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

Best case scenario now is a law to block him from ever running for office again.

McConnell may actually be on-board to do that. He wants his party back.
