I think the big bows on cars is probably one of the single most obnoxious things about Christmas. It is more obnoxious than bad fruitcake, more obnoxious than "War on Christmas", more obnoxious than women's orgasm jewelry faces.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Is this sentence funny, or overwrought?
I wondered how often it is the case that these sorts of Professional Development classes are compared to the infamous Jim Jones cult. There must be some Godwinesque rule that the closer one gets to a Briggs Meyer test, the odds of drinking cyanide-laced grape drink approach 1:1.
Also, will a general reader get what I mean by Godwinesque?

I would take out "it is the case that."

I suspect no, but is the book aimed at people who are Internetty? Because they ought to.

Thanks, Steph. It felt clunky. I'm so punchy I am not sure I am writing in English.
I always assume my audience is internetty, or generationXy, or someone else who understands the cut of my jib.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have done too many things today. I have done too many things over the past week. My last task involved me having to say the words "My mother has cancer" and that's it. I'm done. I just can't, anymore. My ER visit didn't break my headache. This is the same one since last week. I've been running pretty much for days on end.

I just skipped heartlessly 300+ messages. GISHWHES ate my from the bottom up.

Oh ita ! I'm sorry that this week has been such a suckfest. Can you call it a night at least?
I tried to use my Donors Choose Groupon but they said I have to wait until tomorrow. Whatevs, will use it then.

I hope I didn't bring the thread crashing to a halt....
Burrell, I think I will not even try to get anything else accomplished today. I will shift my remaining deadlines until tomorrow. And I'll pull out the Tahitian bean vanilla ice cream. And do some pouting.
Okay, maybe one peek at my work email, and then ice cream.
