Yeah, I pity the wives of those executives. Damn.

I am working on a new project at work and it is bananas. I just want to hide under the covers and yell “no!” But instead I have to escalate concerns and address client questions and find out where we went wrong over the past year and plan how to not do that again and I don’t wanna. What do you mean this is what they pay me for?!

Good luck on hand surgery Brendan!!

Owen! That sucks but glad he’s at least moving forward with stuff?? I don’t know that I would’ve done well as a teenage with online classes.

The internet had many reactions to the Batman thing, and they were all the best.

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

“A perfect example of that is in this third season of ‘Harley’ [when] we had a moment where Batman was going down on Catwoman. And DC was like, ‘You can’t do that. You absolutely cannot do that.’

Wait, the Harley Quinn cartoon? That's already gleefully violent and filthy dirty? That's where they draw the line? Preposterous.

USPS informed delivery tells me that I have a jury duty summons in the mail today, so I guess nature is healing.

I mean, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy hook up. We know what they were doing, but Batman can't do it? Also, Selina Kyle would not tolerate a partner for a hot second if they didn't go down on her. Truth.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The internet had many reactions to the Batman thing, and they were all the best.

It honestly got to the point were I had to mute the word "heroes" on Twitter in order to read about literally anything else.

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

Good old Twitter

Honestly, I feel like there was a scene implying Batman going down on Catwoman but perhaps I inferred more than I should have. Or maybe my memory is just making stuff up again.

Our wings are not tired.

Back from hand surgery and he is fast asleep. Have to go back Friday to look at it, until then he shouldn't use the hand. He is going to be miserable, but I'll try and keep him distracted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

They’re like, ‘Heroes don’t do that.’

They do if they expect to ever get a little something something again. IJS.

Work had been...

Yes, it really has.

My new rule is that days in which I don't look to see what jobs are available or apply for a new job, I am not allowed to complain about my job.

I talk about my job a lot less. And, honestly, this new gameplan is good not just for those that had to listen to me bitch about an unchanging workplace, it also makes me at least look every day at what options are out there. If any people I work with see that I have usajobs.gov open AT WORK and are miffed, they can self-evaluate as well.
