Thrive to spite them

If you follow the Daily Mail link there's a picture with Fred and Hubs and the vets and Arthur and the caption indicates that not only is Arthur the cat but also (pictured middle) just in case anyone is confused about who is human and who is cat.

I know cats sometimes get confused and think they are human.

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

AW. Thanks for saying that, I hadn't clicked through and the Daily Mail story is even better.

What -t said! Awww.

In other news, I'm having one of those days where I don't really want to be promoted, but at the same time, I'm worried that I'll never be promoted again.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My dad just sent me and my brother test results about his heart, lungs, and spine. I have no idea if this was just a physical, if something happened he needed rest, no idea. Just bunch of medical terms and a note that basically says "thought you'd like to know"

WTF PARENT!

Which is what I basically wrote him back.

Did I miss an email?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All right, Dad....

Good news! I remembered the Wing Bar at the supermarket! I had been wanting buffalo wings for lunch, but thought it was excessive. At the Wing Bar you can just get what you want! Perfecto.

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

Timelies all!

That story is so sweet.

Oh, Dad of msbelle. That's almost communicating.

Argh, stuff coming up on Friday afternoon, SO WRONG

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Maybe thinking about what WOULD make you take a different job, assuming the workload was reasonable and expectations were consistent, would be helpful? If you didn't have to look, if it just dropped in your lap.

No. Idea. I can't think of a single thing that would make me look forward to getting up in the morning and doing it. Which is one reason I'm still here.

I need to book a multi-city trip from San Francisco to India, India to Ireland, and from Ireland back to San Francisco.

I don't understand why Dublin to San Francisco is showing up as the most expensive leg of the journey.

Edit: Never mind, the internets were gaslighting me.

See, I think that is aiming too high. But is there something that, if the opportunity arose and would not involve a pay cut or needing to put on pants and leave the house every day, would make you quit your job and do that instead? As a thought experiment.
