You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

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

Congrats, Sheryl!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm feeling like I should at least try, at least go look and see what I could find. If I can't get anything better, well, no loss; this is still a pretty good deal. But maybe I can. Maybe I could find something that didn't have ALL the same benefits as this one, but maybe I'd be willing to lose the telecommuting or take a $10k paycut for a job that didn't leave me exhausted and demoralized every day.

I completely concur. I think exploring other work is the right option, and you've got a good sense of what you're willing to trade off for your peace of mind. In short, Go Zen!

I've had the miserable making jobs more than once and it is a dire thing to wake up and face.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Good lord, that publisher stole from Disney? That's like stealing from the Mafia! They'll destroy her!

Seriously! These are people who will sue daycare centers out of existence for painting their trademarked characters on the wall.

I almost wish I still owned stock in the company.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Perkins, I posted something to the good stuff tumblr thinking of you yesterday, and it's come up.

Hmph. You and your craxy bacon thing.

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

Ah, sweet pork product. I love thee so.

I just read elsewhere a guy whining that feminism didn't include male equality. Dude...it's called feminism. Why is it called feminism? It should be called something else! No, dude, then it wouldn't be talking about what feminism means. You're looking for gender equality. Why whine that feminism isn't that? It's like complaining (almost) that anti-Semitism ignores black people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm still pissed off the NAACP doesn't want to advance me, just because I'm white.

I didn't want to be the one to say it.

My sister works for them, and she's gotten at least one promotion. Does that help?
