ok tonite the bottle of very expensive wine was WORTH IT. I told the sommelier that I wanted to taste the dirt the wine was grown in but also that I wanted it to be plush and fruity. and she DELIVERED

nice to see you, sorry you’re here

I am Once Again wine drunk on the internet

for the past couple months, I have been going to a martial arts class on Saturdays. and today it is cancelled for the holiday weekend. and I’m like but I NEED to roll around on the ground with my buddies :( thats my emotional support grappling :( :( :(

The way Ilya tenses then melts with internal wonder at Shane for knowing the Russian word for father RT if you agree

some days I feel like maybe I should just go finish my WIPs from like. 2010. that would be a fun bit to do.

drunk off $300+/bottle wine from a client dinner, AMA

today she emailed someone in CA at 4:35 AM Eastern and now at 11 AM Eastern is asking why she hasn’t gotten it back. ma’am, zero normal office hours have elapsed in pacific time.

brushing out Connor’s curls HOW DARE. look how they massacred my boy………………stylist is fired in my heart

Two weeks after the All-Star Game, Scott watches a clip of Shane Hollander down on the ice and sees things a bit differently than the commentary. archiveofourown.org/works/77516166

Regular Season Handshake Line is my villain origin story

yesterday at noon my boss gave me a project without a specific deadline. today at 3:48 AM she emailed to say she needed it immediately. nb: we are in the same timezone. it was 3:48 AM for both of us when she did that MAAM I AM ASLEEP

today someone new to dealing with my boss of a decade described working with her as being subject to constant random electrical shocks every time you violate an invisible unspoken rule or expectation and I was like yeah!!!!!! yeah man!!!!! despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

everything reminds me of Them

gotta say that although there is literally no comparison, after the five-course gourmet meal of Heated Rivalry, going back to 9-1-1 feels like chewing a stick of gum while drinking a Diet Coke. it’s not gonna sustain you and frankly there’s a weird aftertaste

I volunteered to work Dec 25->New Years this year thinking “oh I’ll be home without much going on, should be fine” but unfortunately for me the Heated Rivalry brainrot is consuming 100% of my spare cycles and I can’t/won’t/don’t want to think about anything else

🇨🇦🫡💰

my heart is full, my crops are watered, my skin is clear. I can’t wait to rewatch the whole thing

I’m watching a Hallmark movie that involves filming an HGTV-style reno show in an old house and i am consumed by two thoughts: 1) these wigs suck 2) these people are NOT properly following lead-safe containment requirements. RIGHT TO JAIL

good morning and happy Heated Rivalry finale day to all who celebrate

Jacob Tierney I am holding your hands, I am looking you in the eyes, I am telling you that since you have three seasons of this show, YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME RYAN PRICE. blease

it won’t be effective until jan 1 but today yr girl got prommmmoooooteedddddd

using HeatedRivalry as Pastor Glen intended: as a gateway drug to convince people to watch Letterkenny

me: is my Star Trek AU getting too political? the ghost of DC Fontana, taking me by the shoulders and shaking me: GET AHOLD OF YOURSELF, THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT HERE me: thanks ghost of DC Fontana

ok fellow attorneys. I have One Weird Trick to never get asked “so can you give me legal advice about [life problem]?” and that is: do not say “I’m a lawyer.” describe your practice in agonizing specificity. you & I know that you are not “a lawyer,” you have some mind-numbing speciality. use it

I have always been too scared to do this but this year I put myself on the holiday love meme!! pls link me to yours so I can say nice thingssss gdgdbaby.dreamwidth.org/314179.html?...

holiday sluuuuuuuuuump

everyone stop sending me emails so I can write fic in peace

you know that thing where you have to wait for something to be a crisis and basically induce a panic attack in yourself to get it done because it’s making you too anxious to work on otherwise and it’s not until the prospect of it NOT being done makes you MORE anxious that you can make any progress?

Without downloading any new pics, what’s it like to date you?

not to post through it but if your comment starts off by saying someone’s fic has a “ridiculous premise” maybe reconsider whether that’s actually a compliment

finally have an end-date on this, and while I have a job for another two months, those two months are going to go fast. I really appreciate all the support everyone’s shown 💜 💜 💜 and if you have any leads on remote, library, or library-adjacent positions, I am out here actively looking and applying

how’s the RTO going? well, office has zero (0) desks available today and no one is answering my email about where the fuck I’m supposed to sit

I don’t want to be doing my job, I want to be writing my silly little things

partners asking me to make slides with “high-quality graphics“: 1) I know you have seen the consultants do it but we don’t have any of the tools the consultants use because you denied my requests to buy them 2) if graphic design were my passion, I probably would not have become *an attorney*

downside is my hair is literally falling out from stress upside is I’m gonna put on the greatest talent show by a mathematician that this world has ever seen

no one should be allowed to bill to a client for time spent on a call if they are operating a motor vehicle while on said call

I propose a further addition to the lexicon in the theme of “I’m gonna put on the greatest talent show this town has ever seen”: I’m going to become a mathematician better known for other work

istfg next year I’m going to wander around the renfaire with a stitch gun and a witch hat as the Stitch Witch and offer to hem people’s cloaks

about to roll in to the urgent care like, look, I don’t feel THAT bad — I’m upright and not crying, which is better than I was a couple days ago — but also I’m maxed out on pepto for the fourth day in a row and the pepto bottle told me to consult a doctor about that so here we are

between the dog with free access to the backyard, the mid-potty-training toddler, and whatever the fuck happened in the basement with the multiple floods over the summer, my whole house smells and I can’t get it to stop and I’m grumpy about it

You know, it’s not like I’m half-assing this, I am actually trying my best despite the fuck-ups.
