Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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

Annoy the fuck out of me, for the record.

I'm going to my car to cry and sleep and just not be around people. Because I literally can't see. There's shit in my field of vision. I couldn't go home if I felt like taking that option.

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

Sorry....

You know, I almost never offer assurances along the lines of "Don't worry, everything will be fine" for those cases where I just don't know that. Maybe some people appreciate such assurances, but... maybe I don't do that because it annoys me when others do it to me. I think I'll stick to not offering such reassurances....

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Mandatory charge for plastic bags in unincorporated LA county.

We've had that in DC since January. It's only .05 here though. It's raised a crapload of money. And also, provided unintentional humour as you see people juggling piles of stuff because they don't want to pay for a bag.

Sorry, tommy. I didn't mean to be brusque. But those assurances rate around with "other people have it worse" for me. Yeah, the pain probably won't last forever. Doesn't help right now, though.

Lying down didn't work. My head's too tender to let press against anything. But walking through the lobby did let me realise what it probably is--construction odours. I am going to ask to work from home, because it should ease up if I'm away from it, and I don't think it will if I'm not. So I have to get up the ovaries to ask my boss that when he gets out of his meeting at 10:30. Here goes nothing.

The bouba-kiki effect. I think I can guess the people it doesn't work on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, ita.

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

Today's team meeting didn't go particularly well. My boss will throw you under the bus, tell you the bus is a helicopter, and then ask why you're being so *negative* about some "bus".

Heh.

Although this is probably less funny for you, huh?

Eh, my warped sense of humor keeps me going.

Didn't work on me... or maybe I'm just too tired.
