It is amusing me way too much that we have 1337 units of a particular saute pan in stock right now. I don't think anyone I work with would see the humor.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Work today looks like (a) an hour long meeting in which I swap between thinking "what are they talking about?" to "oh, no, that's no good" that ends with the organizer declaring it a good meeting, (b) now, in which I am trying to get some thing done but not putting a whole lot of effort into it because there's (c) another meeting that I don't really need to be in but feel obligated to attend coming up soon after which it will be time for (d) lunch and I can already tell asking me to do actual work after lunch will feel like an affront and an imposition.

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

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
The beach in November is a DELIGHT. I didn't go on the family excursion this afternoon (because my hip didn't get the message that this is a vacation, and it is working overtime to be a painful jerk), but soon they will return bearing much crab for me.

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

Why is every reaction my body comes up with goo?

Maybe you are secretly made of nanomachines?
Relax and enjoy the vacation, Hip of Teppy! Yay crabs

The body is mostly goo in a sack. Sometimes the goo gets out.
Yay crabs
They could get here a *little* faster.
Oh man, while I was typing this, they walked in!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The crabs? That's impressive.

I have been at the seaside for my health for over 12 hours and no one has given me laudanum. This is an outrage.
That is unacceptable. Have stern words with the butler.
