Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Jim just used the phrase "I'm completely aligned on this" in a meeting. I am going downstairs for the flamethrower.

Run, run Jim! The collective has infiltrated your language!

(I just said "We need to scale that board to spotlight wins that are low lift" in a meeting, and I feel unclean.)

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

I feel certain you know an appropriate purification ritual, Atropa

I feel slightly better now, because in a different meeting one of my project managers said, "She'll rewrite the strings in LOLCat if you make her annoyed". They're learning.

strongly exceeds, shrift? Dang, that's awesome!!

management knew that one of their workers was using his master key to go into apartments where single women lived and rape them. He tried my apartment, but I had the chain on, so he never got in. And I didn't know about it, because building management didn't warn any of the tenants. And, yes, the case ended up setting a precedent for what management companies owe their tenants.

Holy CRAP Toddson, that's hella scary and infuriating!!

I served on a jury once in DC, for a couple weeks, and it ended up a hung jury, there were two defendants and we went 11-1 guilty for the one, and 9-3 not guilty for the other. Very weird elaborate story.

I hesitate to say I'm surprised I've only been called once in Seattle, because I figure that means I'll be called tomorrow and end up on a case that's just long enough to make work impossible--a couple days I could handle, but a couple weeks would be a wreck.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I only was called to Jury duty once and I am pretty sure I was rejected based in my eagerness and my consumption of CSI.

I think I need your affirmation. I sort of kind of agreed to do costumes for a show this summer which I totally can do, but there is also a community vegetable garden which I want to to do and I just think I’d so much more important than theatre and I can really contribute too. Can I back out without being a duck?

Sophia, I give you permission to back out.

Our wings are not tired.

Woot! Yay for being fully vaxed.

I'm surprised I haven't been called more. Like 3 times in the nearly 50 years I could be. Yes, tempting fate there.

Yes, you can back out. You don't want to regret it all summer.

It’s ok to back out, Sophia

ETA I feel like I should rewrite that in LOLCat but I don’t know how!
