Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday tommy!

Yay Consuela!

That totally sucks, Scrappy.

Thanks, folks. I wish I were more enthusiastic about going back to work for Former Employer, but a job's a job.

Yay, offer letter!

Ugh, that sucks, Scrappy!

Oh, my god, how is almost 6pm already? I should take my laptop home tonight in case the storm causes any transit shenanigans. But I'm not going to look at my work email tonight after I power it down.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay, Amy!

Boo, Scrappy. That really sucks.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay offer letter!

Ugh, Scrappy, that's rough.

Yay ghostwriting!

I am all frustrated with work and would like to spend some time crying, but I have an appointment to get my haircut and I don't have that sort of relationship with this stylist (I don't know if I have that kind of relationship with my regular stylist but she is out on maternity leave and I haven't even met today's hair expert...)

I'm sorry, -t. Can you make any time in between?


Amy - Mar 11, 2014 2:02:35 pm PDT #22060 of 30000
Because books.

Can you postpone, -t? Or maybe by the time you're done there, you'll feel a little better?

Maybe they will massage your scalp and make you feel better, -t?

I realized that I do have to login to work tonight to do a thing, but I'm going to eat dinner first and have a glass of wine immediately after.

Ooh yes, I vote a scalp massage and a glass of wine...for everyone?

Guys, my main office pal is getting fired. As Director of HR, I have to fire her a week from Friday and I can't of course, tell her. Sometimes my job is NO FUN.

Oh man, that sucks. Is it for awkward "you suck at your job" reasons, or something easier?

I took a walk, had some lunch, came back and got in the pool, and then took a nap for a few hours and had crazy dreams--let me NOT recommend binge-watching Veronica Mars for calm dreams.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Thanks, dcp. I feel like a jerk now. I was so dure that I was being fed lies that I thought my own googling would yield nothing.
