Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Glad to hear most of that, dcp.

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

Glad it's working! Sorry about the side effects.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Yay for stability, dcp!

Attending JZ's memorial in anything more than spirit won't be possible for me, but I'll be thinking of her and all of you.

Same. We'll be in Oklahoma that weekend for my niece's high school graduation, but I'll raise a glass in your direction.

By far, one of the most fucked up parts of the last several years is the sinking, bone-deep understanding that, when the apocalypse comes, yes, you will still have to go to your job, and yes your landlord will still expect you to pay your rent.

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

Stability sounds mighty good, dcp!

Right? You'll be on the freeway with hellfire raining down around you, and manage to call work (even though cell service should be down; let's chalk this up to the deal that Verizon made with the devil), and your boss replies "This'll be your third time being late in a month. You know that means I'm going to have to write you up" as you hear buildings collapsing in the background.

I don’t know, I might get laid off and not have to go in.

I finished work and lay down to think about what I want to do about dinner and remembered I had not filed my taxes yet. So I fired up the H&R Block app on my phone to see how far I could get without needing to actually sit up and turn on a laptop and actually did it all! What a world.

That’s great news, dcp!

And happy birthday, ND!

Happy Birthday ND!

I found out yesterday that 2-hour work meetings are much less onerous if you can pet your boss' highly affectionate labrador retriever throughout.

Happy birthday ND!

I got lazy and didn’t go to the store last night and now I am lying in bed remembering I do not have milk for my coffee. Sigh.
