Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Here's something I definitely would have gotten for Jacqueline: [link]

When I clicked the link my eyes immediately zoomed to the two-headed cat with wings and crown, and I wondered if it was an illustration of the Solomonic demons from the Ars Goetia.

Nice, askye! Explore like the wind! Or like a hedgehog. Or whatever. Enjoy the whole learning stuff thing is what I'm saying

I'm just coming to grips with needing to figure out Thanksgiving. Whole Foods does not appear to have the vegan pumpkin pie my mom likes so I don't know what we're gonna do.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Somebody made a Stringer Bell Mamdani meme...for a second, I had a prince-with-a-tiny-slipper moment. But nothing's really like that, is it?

Thrive to spite them

Erika for some reason when I read Stringer Bell it was Omar that popped into my head and the. "Mamdani's coming".

The Cosmic Crisp I had with dinner was nasty. Probably just that particular apple rather than the whole variety, but ew. DNF

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

It is definitely Autumn here -- the dark-eyed juncos have made their first appearance at my feeder.

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

Attending a mtg for a task that not only is not my job to do, I do not even have access in the application where it is done.

Boss is clinging on to some relic of a process that used to involve us for some unknown reason.

I just logged out while it was still going on.

Completely ridiculous.

Wow, msbelle, that is impressive in its way

I just found out that my boss will be on vacation the last two weeks of the year. Technically, I will not be alone in the department because the remote contractor will be with us through the end of January, but for all practical purposes no one will know what I should be doing...

Our wings are not tired

Sorry hear that you are caught in job stupidity msbelle.

I have been dealiing that with a bunch of different projects this year and I'm just so worn out by it.
