NYT readers dislike the phrase "no problem", and I immediately worry about my speech choices.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Congrats to msbelle and mac!!!
Thanks for the Muppet link--that will be watched as soon as my boss goes home.
I've got plenty to do between today and tomorrow here at work. I have to type up 7 lists of chapter numbers because the damn states don't have easily cut-and-pasted (or pdf) lists. Hundreds of entries saying "Chap 1 -- HJR 1," etc. Then I get to clean out our archive databases to prepare them for this year's worth of bill info which I'm going to dump into them on Monday.
Boring! I'm bringing in CDs to listen to. Today's CDs are the Glee soundtrack and Into the Woods.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just entered this morning's time sheets, even though they aren't due for a week.
Time to go look for FCMs

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I have some deco and booky links at my blog, msbelle, dana, and think jesee was bored today? (also, please post: my poor blog feels very lonely :( )
I will prolly post some more tonight and tomorrow, because I tend to clean in spurts.
Not that I am obsessed with looking at shit I can't afford right now (or, in some cases, ever.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was bored until a friend came over! Now I'm done working and wish I had some Bailey's or something to put into hot cocoa. I think I'm all out.

I say it, and I still hate it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
"no problem",
In place of "You're welcome"? I can see that, but I'm certainly guilty of saying "No problem."

"Not a problem" is the one that really gets to me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I say it all the time, but not in response to Thank you. I say it when someone asks me to do them a favor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I only mean I don't like it (yet still say it) in response to "Thank you."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That's great news, msbelle and mac!
And if things quiet down this afternoon at work, I'll go read and post on Erin's blog to cheer it up.
I have a slowly gathering doomy feeling that I may end up an American Episcopalian before my life's end. All the juicy doctrine and tradition of my own church, plus full agency for women.
But, shitshitshit, I love my parish so very dearly, and no place else will ever be quite so deeply home (it doesn't hurt that the pastor pulled me aside once and said quietly, "You should know that I spend a lot of time angry at the Church too, probably for all the same reasons you do"). And I firmly believe that the bigger church is just WRONG, violating its own history, its own magisterium, with the current brutal hardline shutting-down and vile political meddling.
Hec and I had a talk about it once, and how it feels like contemplating abandoning a beloved friend who's gotten into a horrible abusive relationship with a manipulative bastard who's brainwashing her against all her old friends. If we all leave, she's got no lifeline out at all; but we can't stick around to the point where her fucked-up relationship is toxic to all of us too.
Bah. Don't need all these thinky thoughts right before Advent.
