Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I got all of them right (a hundred years off on the first) because I do watch a hell of a lot of History International.
I still want to read that book though. I started it at Powell's but I hadn't earned buying a new book through my "read two books you already own, buy a new book" program.

My onerous task was incorporating my VPs comments into the draft website report I've been working on. I remembered them being five or six paragraphs long, but when I actually started working there were only a few things that actually needed to be changed. So I'll add emptying the dishwasher to my task list, so there'll be some onerous-osity to overcome.

Woohoo, people!!
Know Your Greens (Lantern, Hornet, Arrow): [link] Man, I love Monkey See. Do any of you people listen to Pop Culture Happy Hour? That shit makes me laugh out loud every week. The only reason I don't post about it here is I'm usually listening on my way to my parents' house, so I have to try to explain it to them.

That's the best bit about onerous tasks, Calli. It's funny how they're generally not as hard as we've built them up to be in our heads.

And that's why it's so helpful to have a start time! Because it's the putting off that is actually onerous half the time....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Read about an hour of my book but did not finish. I realize now this must seem not onerous at all, being unemployed and having books to read, but last year I started a "great books" program, thinking I needed to be productive, and it was way harder to sit down and read the books than I figured. I've finished only half a dozen or so in over a year. Sigh.

Rats, my onerous task just got more onerous. I might need to consult a lawyer - just to figure out how to fill out some forms correctly, nothing really bad. I think. But I'm certainly not doing that before lunch.
But the recycling bin is full, so that's something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of recycling, why do people walk past the recycling bins to throw recyclables away?
