I got that nap, and now we’re going to get pho and maybe ice cream.
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

That sounds so much better than how my day is going.

Our wings are not tired.
Boo Hiss! Not cool, Jessica.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Bah, Jess!
Pho and ice cream sound like the perfect diet for uvulitis! Very therapeutic

Jess, that sucks.
I had amazing pho with the best broth ever. No ice cream, though.

Super dumb. Like, I get wanting some in office. But five days a week is Bs.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That sucks, Jessica.
My day wasn’t quite as crappy, but it did have its moments. Last week I was invited to a meeting on a tool I “own” (train people on, administer, poke tech support on behalf of, etc.). Eh, fine. An hour before the meeting the organizer sent around the agenda which was basically: 1. How has this tool failed you? 2. Name every way this tool has done you wrong. 3. Did this tool insult your momma? How about your dog? 4. Setting this tool on fire as a warning to others—thoughts?
The meeting itself wasn’t quite that bad. People actually said nice things about training and support, which were my main areas. But damn, when I saw that agenda I thought it would be a ritual murder, starring me.
It was the last thing today, and I’ve since soothed my soul in emergency carbs. But damn, that’s not how I wanted to start the week.
