Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

filing, shredding, data-entry. non-urgent, but regular work that piles up.

Because books.

Good news, msbelle!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay for work, msbelle!

My coworker who does do that was describing her day to me and accidentally got to the part where she and her boyfriend went home for some daytime nookie. I DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THIS.

Um, how do you reveal something like that by accident? At work? Or wait, don't tell me, I don't really need to know.

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

Doesn't The Hobbit come out before the Mayan calendar ends? I think we're good either way.

Congrats, msbelle!

A couple of co-workers (and a consultant) might have gotten out of me my non-negative viewpoint on marijuana. I have no idea why I open my mouth sometimes. That's not a work conversation!

However, I think Afternoon Delight will always remain off the conversational menu.

Apparently my laptop being stolen *is* viable gossip material. Because people are coming up to me to tease me about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Literally, she told me about their breakfast and whatever came next, and the walk, and the coffee, and... and then she got all giggly and red-faced. So she didn't actually say "doin' the do," but it was clear.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

One of my co-workers had his laptop stolen in Europe, and I needed him to approve a document, which is how I found out. When I asked him about it, he was like, "Does EVERYONE know about that???"

I'm pretty much at that point. Random IT people who are totally not involved in procuring me a new laptop are poking at me. Horrible meanies.

I can't believe I'm related to people who would name an effort "The Academi of Life". What's wrong with them? No, I'm not linking, because I don't want there to be a trail back here. But, seriously, they also use the term "Scholarch". I'm horrified.

Oh, no, that reminds me that the cousin I don't like wants to meet up with me to get the cake. Hasn't she noticed I've been avoiding her for the better part of a decade? I think she named her son "One", and also changed her name to be one vowel off of another cousin's name, which is just uncool in my books. Sometimes you just have to accept, you didn't get the cool name, and it's too late.

So, you know, there.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That is AWESOME, Gud.
