Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have to doodle to be able to pay attention.

So do I. So do I. Today I feel like a complete pointless work fail, which is no doubt contributing to the huge pain. I will be sleeping in my car in short order. I have chronic migraines and I doodle a lot. I am also a good employee. I swear. I get my work done, and I do it well.

Did a quick twitter search (uh, still working, thanks) and Colin's deleted post is all over the place. What a doof.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm sorry for your loss, Liese.

Dana, I hope you feel better soon.

ita, I highly recommend telling the truth. Just say that it's nothing personal but you don't go to lunch with ANYONE at work. That's just how you're built.

Pushing my luck by not having yet crunched numbers and made a budget that helps me understand how $840 pays for rent, food, transportation, clothing, medical, etc. I've been supplementing with my savings for a while but those will run out next month.

Also? Putting off getting new medical folks down here.

Oh! These are mine! although I did have a mammogram last year so I'm not too worried about it.

I had one last year. Which led to a biopsy and an MRI, so I really should schedule my next one, oh, NOW. Ahem.

Why is it that I send clear instructions on how to do simple things like set up your voicemail and check messages and people just cannot follow them?

Plus: I thought that the youth of today was supposed to be MORE tech savvy - why is the youth that I work with less?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have to make a dentist appointment, but I'm not sure when my jaw will loosen up enough to make that work...

About the phone? The youth of today don't use phones -- at least not for talking. Is the stereotype.

Dear Student: When there is a hold on your account, do not come into my office and ask me why. And then when I say "you owe us money", have the response be "so, I can just go pay that right now, right?" WTF? If you have the money, why didn't you pay it EONS ago, like WHEN YOU GOT THE EFFING BILL!!!!!

Or their computers. . . there was an issue earlier where we were reimaging the computers and I told everyone to move anything they wanted to keep to the share (networked) drive or to a disk or flashdrive and more than one lost all their work because they moved t hings to a folder on their desktop.

OK, here's why I actually love my job. I was thinking, Should I work late again tonight, I really don't feel like it, need to go to the drug store, wah wah wah. And then I remembered that here, "late" is 5:30. That is not late! Not when I get here at 9!
