SJ there’s a part of me sincerely hoping that they were attempting to not offer ableist unsolicited help, and overcompensated. But that’s mostly rose tinted glasses, they were more likely just being oblivious. So sorry.
Awesome about the Jersey retirement. Sounds like M totally deserves all the recognition and awards. Including “most unnecessary excesssive eye contact”. Legit LOL. At least they didn’t accuse her of the evil eye?
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Yall will appreciate this. My dude has his colonoscopy tomorrow so today is the big prep. Of course I asked about his planned diversions for the evening and he was planning on playing Civ as being the perfect “one more turn game”. Well, the drinking of the grossness hasn’t even commenced yet and he’s already over Civ for the day, apparently, so he started watching Buffy. He’s never seen Buffy before, totally missed out. He does love Firefly/Serenity so ive low key nudged a couple times. But tonight? On the one hand, im thrilled that he’s immersing in the lore. On the other hand, this is literally the worst day to associate with season 1!!!

Wait until he gets to the episode when the monster of the week was a colonoscopy in demonic form!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
After eating my sauceless tempura I went to the bathroom to wash my greasy fingers. Someone I knew came out of the stalls to wash her hands and I had a moment of "do I say hi? Do I smile and nod?" but we just did not make any eye contact at all so no interaction was needed. Made me think of Matilda

That saved you a trip to HR.

Forgot to say, sorry about the bad Sunday, Gud. It sounds like you got a lot done, though.
Work is worky. I enjoyed spending some time with smonster and I got some summer travels settled (visiting my niece and her family in their new place).

In teenage angst news, Dillo had his wisdom teeth out last Friday, took AP Chemistry Monday, is taking AP English as we speak (3 40-minute essays!!) and has a crisis brewing in ceramics, as the kiln fires tomorrow and he is not finished, thanks to the things listed above.
But as far as I know he has no ongoing bathroom beef issues.
