Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy shit.

You could always tell her you're not saying out of frustration, but praying loudly.

Just got the following email from the person who sits in the next cube to me.

Switch to Sweet Zombie Jesus.

Thank you for the reminder, ita! I just Twittered about it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Good God.

Speaking of crazy importuning emails, here is one that just came to my husband!

Dear Professor,

I know it is really obnoxious to ask this-- but can I please have an A? I realize now that zooming through exams in order to be finished so we could have as much time as possible to discuss philosophy might not have been the smartest method of test-taking. but, looking back at everything, can I have an A because I do, in fact, know the information, and I showed up every day, and participated, plus, I am pretty damn cool.

Regardless, how does one go about swapping majors? Also, what classes do you teach next semester?

He was not joking.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

The first email was odd. ( because -- just ask. forget all t he extra stuff) but that one ... somehow he/she should have found a philosophical reason.

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

I get that person's urges to not hear that (I'm a workplace pearl-clutcher after all). Shattering? Shaking and crying.

Again I say: Holy shit. Dag.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Aw, now, it upsets her! You don't wanna give us atheists/heathens/pagans a bad reputation of being heartless and liking to stamp on the delicate hearts of the faithful, now, do you? I've tried to find substitutes for "Jesus Christ!" and "God (etc.)" because I really don't want to upset anyone. Offend, sure, but some people are genuinely upset, and that just about shatters my heart, to think I caused such pain. *ahem* May I suggest "Zeus!"? His name has a similar sound, and is short enough to be an effective expletive, and those I've encountered who claim Zeus as their deity don't seem to give a shit if someone swears by him.
