yay!
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Glad Penny's back!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The cat came back! Phew.

(I did not think she was a goner.)
I have too many things to keep track of at work, but at least I'm wearing a fabulous dress I got in New Orleans. I really want my aesthetic this summer to be my grandmother in Hawaii in the 50s. (Edit: I know the website says it's early 40s style, but still.)

I love that, Jesse! What shoes are you wearing with it?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That is fabulous and I support your aesthetic ambitions 100%!
Yay for Penny coming in!

Okay, for the record, *I* am not the one who is crazy here: (1) I told an author he couldn't do X because of the type of article he wrote. (2) Author said politely, "Well, the author instructions on your own website say that yes, this type of article *can* have X." [Totally my fault; I didn't look at what the author instructions said.] (3) Manager says "Nope; our internal document for staff only that authors NEVER see says that we don't even publish that type of article in that journal, so he is not allowed to do X even though the only instructions he can access say that he *is* allowed to do X."
There's a problem here, and I didn't cause it. Alla y'all need to get your shit together.

Follow-up message from manager: "Sometimes the author instructions are confusing." No, they literally include the phrase "May include X." That isn't confusing to me.
Now she's telling me to send a message to the senior executive editor asking whether the author can do X. What the shit, lady, IT IS IN THE AUTHOR GUIDELINES THAT HE CAN DO X.
