The phrase "a hell of a day" is certainly applying today.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
That sucks, Tom. Since work had become so toxic, it may well end up as a good thing, but I'd like to see a few blessings that aren't in disguise.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am sorry, Tom, but I hope it leads to better things. They`re fools.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just got called in for an interview, which is exciting, but I kind of forget how to do it. I mean, leave work for a "doctor's appointment."

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Tom, I am so sorry. I know you weren't happy there, but it's still a gut-punch. May this be the gateway to something that gives you joy.
ita !, my condolences to you and your family. Much peace and strength to all of you.
Suzi, feel better soon.

Jesse, yes. And current employer can't request any more information than that. Good luck!
Ouch. I've mananged to strain/pull/otherwise aggravate some muscles in my back. What does one do when they have no painkillers or muscle relaxers? 600 mg of ibuprofen isn't cutting it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
You're at work, right? Can you run to a drugstore and get some of those self-stick heating patches?

In terms of using songs in a way the artist does not approve of, I'm pretty sure one of the Republican conventions in the 0s used "The House I live in" as their convention theme song. Maybe for Eisenhower? At any rate "The House I live in" was written by a leftie, and first sung by Paul Robeson.

Those are definitely my favorite.
Jesse, this is where working from home definitely comes in handy! I mean, you could call in sick that day, if it's an all day thing, but yeah, "doctor's appointment" or "waiting for the cable guy" or something. Whatever's easier for sneaking off or sneaking in with a suit stuck in your bag!
