Also, given the popularity of The Toast here--did y'all see that Mallory Ortberg is taking over Dear Prudence? (I admit, I'm addicted to advice columns, and I know I'm not the only one here!)
She's already given it some practice: [link]
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
What airport?
IAH. Meeting location changed, yet again, and now I'm only 20 minutes away.

askye, I think that conversation is happening in Bitches.
-t, I totally empathize. I hope you're not coming down with anything, but I fully support curling up in a ball and sleeping.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Weather is being more like normal November weather. Ah, well, it was nice while it lasted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm torn about it - I don't really want to be sick, but sitting on the couch under a blanket and eating soup sounds fantastic. We'll see how it goes.

On Fridays they have Lunch and Learns here at work where you can hear empowering things about losing weight and getting healthy and all that improving, guilt-inducing stuff.
Fridays are my day off. Heh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Both. Definitely both.
I was gonna say!
So saying yes to my son's play date is really interfering with my grading. You'd think I'd learn by now, but nope.

"with some children, you just can't tell them they did anything wrong because they are too sensitive."
Oh, man. I was that sensitive kid! And I spent a really long time trying to be a perfectionist to avoid judgment and criticism. Which doesn't work.
I can't tell if I am coming down with something, just tired, or just don't care very much, but am consumed with desire to curl up in a ball and go to sleep and being at work is really getting in the way of that.
I'm using late meetings as an excuse for how long it took me to get to the office this morning.
I need to contact a visa processing service for my trip to India and now I'm getting nervous that there isn't enough time to process the request.

Good luck with he visa. I have no idea. The sooner you contact them the more time there will be, I guess.
I left work thinking I would pick up Popeyes on the way home, but while I was driving I convinced myself that making some soup would be better and almost as easy but now I am home and making soup seems hard. Ah well, I'll throw some stuff in a pot and it will be edible, I'm sure.
