Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So much anxiety. Went to a party last night, and I had to flee after an hour.

So much anxiety. Went to a party last night, and I had to flee after an hour.

I never take a whole Ativan because it knocks me out cold. Last Friday, I took half an Ativan before a party, because this group of friends is notoriously loud and chaotic and exuberant, which makes me want to claw my face off. About 10 minutes after we got there, I took another half an Ativan because the alternative was punching everyone in the throat.

The Ativan did not knock me out, and we still had to leave after about an hour, because...no. God DAMN people, you do not need to act like howler monkeys.

We were at the same party. On different nights in different states.

Wormhole.

Worst. Wormhole. EVER.

Hope things calm down a bit for you, Tommy.

All your sleep are belong to me. I was so drowsy last night I barely made it through American Horror Story, then slept for 9 hours, woke up, and slept for another hour and 15 minutes. Also had a dream about Chris Hemsworth breaking up with me. No fair, subconscious, making me go through that without first dreaming about sex with Chris Hemsworth!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is brutal.

Tommyrot, maybe going home is the right call? Sometimes you just need a break.

Glad to hear that, Sara! Of course they want to keep you, come hell or high water. I'm sorry you're not feeling well for the next five days.

ION, I'm thinking about getting my aunts some kind of cat furniture for Christmas. I figure, they have three cats, so doesn't that mean they could always use more cat stuff?? Anyway, does anyone have a specific recommendation for anything that costs $50-$75? I started looking at stuff on Amazon, but basically anything I clicked had reviews that said it was only good for tiny kittens.

An hour is totally reasonable.

Costco has a six foot cat tree for about that much. ETA - okay, probably not that big. But maybe 5.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm looking at previous Ask a Manager entries, and someone wrote in whose company played an April Fool's Day prank on the employees and told them they'd have to come in and work unscheduled overtime that night and the next day.

I hate so, so many people.
