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!
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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.

MOTHERFUCKER. A co-worker just tried to kill me with guacamole. That was no fun. And my ears apparently went red. Poker face, telltale ears.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
A co-worker just tried to kill me with guacamole.
Even I can't be killed with guac. What was their method? Did they try to drown you in it? Because if so, they need to make a chunkier guacamole. It's not as good when it's that smooth.
Sorry about the tell-tale ears.
