When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

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

I took next Thursday and Friday off and I am always busy as hell early in the week. This sucks.

This is as big a surprise to our boss as it is to me. Awesome

Really glad my camera is off for this

move out and draw fire

Since I'm a manager at my new company (despite having worked diligently for the last 10 years to never have to be a manager again so that's how desperate I was for a job), I not only have to do my own "amazing things I will achieve this year" now, without really knowing the company, but also have to advise my underlings on theirs and make sure they do them.

I plan to advise each of them to just put "LLEEEEEEERRRROOOOOYYYY JENKINS!" on their form.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Reader, I ordered a lamb shawarma platter from the gyro place in town. It was twice what I would have paid at a Manhattan street card and I had to drive to get it, but I DON'T CARE it was so great.

In happier news, I picked up my daughter's first pair of glasses from the optician today, and she's just wandering around the house reading book titles from across the room in amazement.

We have been told to have our cameras on for the next meeting which will also cover this development, so I'd better practice schooling my face

Aw. So many of my friends (and my mom) had a "trees have individual leaves you can SEE" moment after getting their first glasses. Probably not this time of year, I guess

I got my first pair (age 10) around Christmastime, and individual lights on trees was a MASSIVE revelation.

If you need an alibi, we were all there when your wifi went down and would only support audio.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

aw, I remember any time I got a new prescription for my glasses how amazingly sharp the focus it was ... I'd go from squinting to try to see something to wow! look at the leaves! and so on

There are videos around of people who are color blind wearing glasses that (somehow) allow them to see color. They're always amazed at what the colors they've been hearing about actually look like.
