I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Can't I just say everyone did great and then log off for the year??

You sure can.

I think I have accepted that I am just a person who types "your welcome" most of the time. The welcome is yours, I give it to you, what the hell

Not only do I write by ear which makes me prone to homophone errors, but my years as a secretary have grooved my quick typing fingers with neural pathways that will tap out the most familiar word rather than the word I am thinking.

In short, I have to edit everything at least twice to keep from sounding like an idiot.

Absolute downpour this morning and I made the strategic error of going to the grocery store after a cafe stop.

Trudging home in the heavy rain my paper bag got soaked and fell apart while I was several blocks from home. I had to hug my soggy produce to my raincoat to make it home.

Of course, it's stopped raining now so I'd just waited a little bit I could've made life easier.

In short, procrastination can solve all problems!

Christ on a bike, I have 23 peer review requests. Can't I just say everyone did great and then log off for the year??

That's nuts. There should be a limit. I hope the review is at least clicking buttons and not having to write shit out. Jesus.

That actually sounds kind of pleasant.

And that does not sound pleasant!

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

I hope the review is at least clicking buttons and not having to write shit out.

It is, unfortunately, writing shit out. I do have the option to decline at least.

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

In short, procrastination can solve all problems!

Words to live by. And I do!

It is, unfortunately, writing shit out.

Good grief.

I do have the option to decline at least.

I mean, that's something. I still think they ought to have a limit! "Nope, Jessica is full up. Move along."
