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

My work day has been argh. As expected, honestly, but still. Leaving work only 45 minutes late, feels like the day was much longer than that...at this point I just hope not everything I did today was wrong and will need to be fixed tomorrow

I should know better than to say things like that before I have shut down the laptop. Hour and a little bit late is still better than it might have been

Now tagless for your comfort.

I’m taking out my anger in very subtle ways. I just bought my nephew a wooden katana practice sword.

And I’m drinking. A Lot.

Those seem like relatively healthy responses, considering.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My work day has been argh.

same same. Technical issues with the just launched vaccination registration website. My point person was incommunicado today.

No approved FAQ, so I am winging answers.

I hope you’ve got IRL folks you can rant and rave with Cash.

My work is a little crazy but I’m on vacation Thirs/Fri and fully expect when I come back Monday some sort of crazy drama will have happened. Oh well.

What is even happening?

Cashmere, I'm glad to see you checking in here.

Excellent! Don't forget drums exist. Also, you can get bagpipes on Amazon. [link]

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Though depending on how tall said nephew is, a full stand of pipes may be unwieldy. Kazoos, on the other hand, are very portable and easier to conceal.

A vuvuzela makes a nice gift.

Why am I hearing that like it’s a quote from Bull Durham?
