@frost Oh hell yes. That's the thing about the adult world, though, they never treat it that way.

I went straight from a video of building the Imperial Palace on Terra through "you must chant the Sancti Note Bruneus in order to use the Lavatorium" to "the Drukhari clearly have soul-sucking toilets" to playing Gwar's "Jiggle the Handle" again.

every time I get the Daiya vegan/gluten free pizza, I forget that the crust has the same texture as Ritz crackers or Manischewitz matzohs, and yet the siren song of vegan 'za means I keep buying/cooking the stuff now and then

@frost maybe I can get it to where it doesn’t fuck me up like this week. I try very hard to do a good job at what’s been required and having any vague illusion of competency stripped from me is upsetting and reminiscent of the first 18 years of my life.

@frost so she’ll just find a million different mistakes I need to fix NOW presented as obvious information, and I’ll have to figure out a way to depersonalize it as I can never do anything right with her and thus it isn’t relevant data about whether I’m any good at this job, will get kicked out, am a complete moron, etc etc

@frost required to comply with my orders.

@frost it isn’t. We’re required to audit each other for accuracy. I literally can’t say no to any of this.

Fuck. Fuck, fuck. You have no idea how completely this person has made me feel like I’m fucking 10 again, this past week. Like I’m fucking 12 again. Fucking 14 again.

Crap. Ultra picky coworker is auditing my work again, I can’t tell her no. So I’m looking forward to her making me feel completely incapable of doing my job. AGAIN.

@LilahTovMoon oh gah just what we need, a way to parse “I have to poop” as “let’s turn on the microwave”

@GoodNewsGreyShoes thanks, just; even if I can get past a background being trained I’m a complete fuck up here to convenience someone superior, it’s very difficult to get past the feeling I’ll always be officially regarded as a fuck up or officially required to be mostly someone else’s convenience. If that makes sense?

I think it’s the line about not expecting to grow flowers in the desert, and seeing the sun in wintertime (surely it can’t rain nonstop May through July?) but I’ve always parsed “In a Big Country” as being about Australia, rather than Scotland.

@anthracite “so he just sits there in a big lump?”
“That’s not all he does, he angsts about being a pawn in the greater game of law and chaos.”

We’d all be better off if this were the day a massive stroke or heart attack took me out, but we’re not that lucky, so I will try to do an okay job.

@frost I've never been able to go more than 2-4 hours of job hunt stuff at a time, and figure it's just like any other activity where after a while you will want and need a break.

the down side of aging plus delicious tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner is the sort of acid reflux I used to only get after chorizo burritos with more than one margarita.

if I had a nickel for every Blue Oyster Cult song about Elric of Melnibone, I'd have three nickels, which isn't much, but most groups don't even have *one* Elric song.
