See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

le n, that was my *exact* reaction to the movie, which I saw for the first time at an age not far removed from Lynn's own on her wedding night; my kidself absolutely could not begin to get past that, and I really have no idea what I'd think of it if I saw it again now, after a significant accumulation of years.

I think even my cats are bored with me at this point. After a day spent largely petting Pumpkin or getting sat on by Loki ( or both!) they are all off in their own corners. Except Devi, who is falling asleep in front of me. And she slept all day!

JZ,

OMG thank you for sharing that. I don't remember how old I was, but I think I was in high school or junior high. It was on tv and we hadn't rented it, so it must have been the mid-1980s or so. So I must have been ~ 15 myself. I think the movie on TV must have been edited because right after that scene, she was pregnant or holding a baby in her arms and I'm like: "uh, how is her relationship with her husband? did she try to run away from him? ??? ???"

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

I am having seven million anxieties right now. Apparently we were supposed to have scheduled talks with our manager about raises and bonuses? And I have none on my calendar and the other analyst does?

Between that and feeling sick I'm making mountains out of molehills.

Facebook just totally freaked me out. I met a woman last night for the first time in over 10 years (and I may not have even ever met her before, although I knew who she was and we knew a lot of people in common.) I have not mentioned this meeting online in any capacity. And Facebook just suggested her to me as a "person I may know" for the first time ever.

O.o

LeN, you're probably totally right--I don't read the HR emails right away, so I'm getting taken by surprise by things, and I have only myself to blame for that.

The lunch thing is weird, though--my boss and the other analyst were standing by my desk waiting for my manager (she sits behind me) to be ready to leave, and when I turned around to look at them they just smiled and nodded and eventually dispersed.

In social media, a past co-worker asks to connect with me on LinkedIn about once a year. I accept the connection once a year, because we were co-workers, and he's not a liability--except he asks to connect with me once a year. Why does he need to do that? This has been consistent for nearly five years now.
