See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

How would you feel about Onerous Task Support Group Hour?

I could really use it...I have phone stuff at work I'm flinching away from right now, for no good reason besides just plain not liking phones. It's stupid and it makes me completely infuriated at myself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

I fixed a toilet this morning. Just the handle/flush mechanism and not perfectly, but it works for now. It's been broken for nearly a month, requiring the removal of the top of the tank and manually pulling the chain to flush.

No fair! You already did your onerous task!

I'm thinking of the avoidy projects that tend to rollover on your to-do list. Or don't go on the to-do list because them you'd have to do them.

Coding and Sleeping

I've started turning the spaceship into a fort/clubhouse. It's just a floor and frame down, sort of sad. But it'll get better soon.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I would totally be into an Onerous Task Support Group. I have onerous tasks. They need doing. Who better than me?
