I am not doing well at work today.
Can you take a walk for a little while? Get some air?
I'm sorry your job is so horrible.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A walk seems like a good call.
Well, I am now boggled at the idea that anyone would think a dating metaphor was a good one for grant writing.
As I "learned" at work just the other day, working with foundations is more like dating with an eye on marriage, while corporate sponsors are more like one-night stands.

If flea makes her metaphor about how grant writing is like a one night stand, I bet they would sit up and listen.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, msbelle. I hope a better job comes along for you soon.

My meeting was okay. It was a "what do you want to see happen next year" meeting. Where we delicately talked about roadblocks to accomplishment without mentioning my direct supervisors name.

Yes this. I'm sorry your boss is putting you through this wringer, but he's the problem, not you.

Ack! No! What did they tell you next? You need to check under their kimonos or whatever that horrible, racist, sexist line was?

Ha ha, no. The upshot was really that we (foundation people) are good, kind people, and they (corporate people) are wham-bam-thank you ma'am.

Especially when you get to the part about slamming one last shot and stumbling out to the parking lot together ...

These are *librarians*, people. In *Ohio*. I once sat in a talk about the hiring process and heard a past job candidate disparaged because she came to an interview wearing blue nail polish. Granted, that was in Georgia, home of pink suits, but still. All this talk of young tattooed hipster librarians has probably not yet come to Cincinnati.
