bon, thanks for the rec; I've put it on hold at the lib.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

To be filed under unprofessional: So my friend manages this huge, well known student summer program, one site which is in LA, where she's at now. Anyway, she spends most of her summers running from site to site, managing the start of sessions, getting staff trained, etc. The morning of the start of this session, she glances at her email before hopping in the shower. At 3:45 in the MORNING, their office manager quit. The day when all the craziness starts and they absofuckinglutely need someone uh, managing the office ? while they are wrangling kids and new staff. I mean, REALLY?? WHO DOES THIS?!
And this was after they'd already had to scramble to reschedule sessions and staff because the 405 closure would make it nigh impossible to get the kids and staff to the site. And one of her other key staff members sliced his foot open within an hour of getting to work. It's not been a smooth summer for her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes! People, mang.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What the hell?!? That sounds like the most passive-aggressive move possible.

I know, right?
I told her (she called to ask me to look after her cat an extra few days) that I SO WANT her to get a references call, so she can laugh hysterically in response. Likely will not happen, but given the apparent sense of judgement of this individual, I have my hopes. "It just isn't a good fit." Yeah, well, with that kind of move, pretty sure nothing ever will be a good fit for her. She had almost 6 weeks to figure that out and maybe give them a clue? Which she didn't.

Also, fb hates me. Won't let me post or anything. Database issues.
Which are plaguing me today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So Angelina Jolie is supposed to be makeup free in this picture and a number of outlets have picked that obvious lie up and run with it. What? She's clearly made up. It shouldn't take Jezebel two weeks to mention it.

I want to eat All the Things.
I probably shouldn't though, should I?

I am eating ice cream right from the container, so I recuse myself.

Mister Kitty just leapt up in my face and said "MROOOOW."
I think that's an assent to y'all.
