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

Speaking of Kafka-esque and Orwellian, I had a moment the other day that was slightly weird and I thought...."This feels Charlie Kaufmann-esque." Not Fellini-esque. Not Lynchian. Kaufmannesque.

[I was in line at TJ's and the woman in front of me was a slender woman with red-auburn hair and yoga pants. And I looked to the left and there was a woman of exact same typology - same reddish brown hair, same length, similar mask, yoga pants. And I felt certain if I looked to the right or behind me, I would be surrounded by the Auburn Lululemons.]

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

That sounds like a situation where you would really want to know what genre you are in

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

Timelies all!

Congrats on the grandkid, Laura!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like a large drink, a slice of cake the size of my head, and no meetings for the rest of the week.

I feel that SO HARD. Luckily, I only have... four meetings tomorrow on No-Meeting Friday, so that's nice.

Recipe for Dinner:

1. Put whatever veggies you have in a baking dish. Put frozen boneless chicken thighs on top, cover with foil. Bake at 375 for 90 minutes

2. Combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bring to a boil in a small saucepan.

3. Add cooking liquid, dregs of ketchup bottle, and leftover sauce from Chinese takeout. Simmer until thick.

4. Put veggies and chicken on a plate. Douse with sauce. Put in face.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

Luckily, I only have... four meetings tomorrow on No-Meeting Friday, so that's nice.

You may need to rename No-Meeting Friday.

Ugh. I guess calling into the meeting, screeching "NO-MEETING FRIDAY", and logging off would be unprofessional, wouldn't it?

four meetings tomorrow on No-Meeting Friday

Sounds very much like my No-Meeting Thursdays, including today.

Atropa, I feel like unless you can non-metaphorically explode into a swarm of bats, it wouldn't have the necessary impact.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Bold of you to assume she can't.
