Good luck, Hec.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

I’m almost up to the second row! Very exciting development.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
LOL I have never heard of a skip level, but then I left that world over a decade ago.
Rooting for you to get through, David. Travel sucks sometimes and it’s not fair that it is sucking on top of the super sucky reason.
And honestly, can go right to bed in it as well!
I don’t like how nightgowns tend to ruck up around my rib cage. Plus I tend to sleep au naturel these days.
Knit boxers rule. They make them for women now, I get lots of ads on fb. Woxer, TomboyX, etc.
Edit to change tuck back to ruck. Autocorrect definitely has not read enough fanfic.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
2:1 meeting thing
Yeah, my boss just has her jargon wrong. she asked me to set up 2:1 with her and the two new chief hires, so I set up a meeting with both of them and her and she called me and said "no, not both of them a 2:1 is when it is their 2nd 1:1 since they already have one with their Deputy Director." No, no nonono crazypants wrongheaded lady.
Same boss has halted progress on my application for another job in the Department for stupid and petty sounding reasons, but unofficially and I only know from off-the-record back-channelling. Now I am applying for positions outside of our Department.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
remember when traveling was exciting? Those were good times for traveling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Getting the rental car has always sucked, I'm pretty sure.
Good luck with everything, David.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wtf, msbelle. Good luck with the outside the department apps

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Flight arrived at 7pm.
Got rental car after an hour long wait and just got checked into the hotel 9:45.
I had to drive unfamiliar Atlanta freeway roads in the dark, dammit!
Also, this room is weirdly averse to working outlets. There isn't one at the desk and the ones by the desklight don't work, so my phone is plugged into the bathroom and my laptop is plugged into the light behind the chair.
I really want to crash but my nephew is weirdly a minute away so we're meeting at the hotel bar.

Hotel room outlets are always shit.

I mean, I get it, it's only been 20 years since people would be carrying devices they would want to charge and not just hairdryers.
