Sorry for your loss, Scrappy and Jason.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I found out via Associated Press (and then corporate e-mail) that my company is laying off 4,000 people. That's a bad Monday. I don't think I'm in particular danger, but a smidgen of job~ma wouldn't hurt.

Crap, Gud, that's not good!
Me, I just got back from a 3-day business trip and now I've just signed up to drive down to Lompoc & back this week as well. Bah.

I still find it weird working for a company where I sometimes find out what's going on from the news before I find out internally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's excellent, msbelle.
We're supposed to all be dressed in business formal today, unless there was a word-of-mouth change of plans on Friday. So I'm wearing a tie...and other people in my team are in jeans? My manager's wearing a chunky knit short sleeved sweater? I really do feel I missed a memo.
Migraine specialist wants to give me botox, maybe. Wants to give me botox on the 10th of September. No, sir, you are not freezing my face just before I go home. You can have at it after.

Ugh, Gud. I hope you are indeed safe.
I am not plugged in enough to be paying attention to my company in the news, but I totally should be. I'll consider this a heads up to make a news alert.

I finally heard half that song on Friday. And I can't remember why I heard it, or why I heard only half...clearly I need the ginkgo biloba.

Yep.
I would've found out internally first, but I didn't have time to read my work e-mail this weekend.
