Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

That t is really tempting...

Hey, does anyone know if "rugged up" is a Britishism for "wrapped up"? And would someone have used that term (a lower class person) in the 1850's?

I'm seeing is as modern slang for Australia and Canada, but getting no love otherwise.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Stuck at the doctoe trying to get cleared to return to work. It feels like more trouble than it's worth at this moment.

Stuck at the doctoe

Is that a podiatrist?

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

Whoa. Being admitted to the hospital last night and getting the cocktails correctly meant I could come into the office today with nothing but normal Monday morning hesitation.

On my chair is a "WOW AWARD" for this weekend's deployment, a pin saying "I RADIATE PURE AWESOME" and...a $100 AmEx gift card.

(She called me MVP!)

I think I might wear the pin today...I'm toying with it...whoa.

Because books.

WEAR IT.

Wear the pin!

I think "rugged up" means wrapped up (warmly) because horse blankets in the UK and Australia are called rugs.

Wear the pin!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You earned that pin.

Wear the pin, ride the wave of positivity!

I am glad at least that after your sucky weekend things are looking better at work. Thanks, universe for remembering (FOR ONCE) my "No Piling On My Friends" edict.
