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

The misinformation about sugar and diabetes is rage-inducing.

Has anyone seen my motiviation? I have a shit-ton of work to do--all proposals with hard deadlines--and I don't wanna.

My apathy for this job surprises even me.

Thrive to spite them

I sort of wish I had a copy of my last blood work, so the next time I see "fat people can't be healthy" or any kind of fat shaming" I can show them my numbers.

My cholesterol levels are great, I'm not at risk for diabetes, and my blood pressure has never been high. It's usually in the low range.

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

... to be fair, there are now two separate groups trying to revive the Parkway Theater. Surely one of them will be successful?

I don't know about the other group, but the New Parkway is a go. It'll be opening this year in Uptown (474 24th St).

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Isn't Alamo Drafthouse the place that evicted a patron for having her cellphone on during the show and she called in a complaint that was all over the web?

And I'm currently wrestling with DNS changes and Network Solutions. dog help me (also ceiling cat and any techno~ma available)

I saw that article in the Chron, but I am skeptical until it actually happens. Also, parking in that area is a problem, IME.

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

I realise that I would want to stab other quoters of TPB in the face. Because I want to be able to hear the actors! Just them and my own obsessive muttering, thanks. I mean, apart from laughter and appropriate gasps of horror, naturally.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, you guys. I totally lost my shit in my one-on-one with my boss this morning. I am overwhelmed! What I did not mention is that my special breed of overwhelm leads to total inaction, which of course only exacerbates. AND I know the problem is temporary (due to understaffing), but I guess I'm glad she saw me freak out, although it was totally embarrassing.

Well, I hope the freakout pays off, Jesse. Since you done had it and all. And that your boss gets that shit just happens sometimes. I'd love to have a bit of a meltdown at the office, but instead I keep volunteering for more stuff.

hip deep in pie

Aw, Jesse.

I wanted to lose my shit with my boss yesterday. But I just glowered at him instead.
