them's fightin' words

I am so zapped today. I think I need to stop staying up so late every night.

Seriously, I do not even have the energy to compose this. My eyes are closing.

Oh God.
Caffeine crash.

I am pretty sure this is like the time Jessie Spano (from Saved by the Bell, of course) was strung out on uppers and was soooo excited, sooo excited... so, so scared.

Not only am I fatigued, I am also tired of certain elements of my job, like not being able to straight cuss out certain people who I work with.

Seriously shut the hell up and do your job.

Khtankxbye.

Amber,
Oh, I am so with you. I have someone that I work with...well, let's just say we usually co-exist fairly well, but sometimes we get on each other's nerves. The other day I had to be a witness while she was firing someone. They had been bad-mouthing the company to anyone that would listen. So, the woman was like, "Should you be fired for complaining to me about Tina all the time?" Oh, man, the chick turned red. I thought it was hilarious. I keep that stuff at home (complain to the hubby), but I wasn't mad. At least she getting it out of her system.

Take a nap, darlin'. A long one. Then have a stiff drink. Then watch the snow come down.

I had some co-workers like that at my last job. I was more than happy when I walked out of there for good this past May.

I know what you mean about staying up too late. I have to do all of my writing after everyone is in the bed, then I have to get up at 6:00 am to get the kids ready for school. It seems like I live off of caffeine.

deb: chin is now up! I'm on vacation until 12/28. :)

tina: i keep it at home, too. i never talk about people to their face, or on my blog. (That's why I crossed out all the meanest stuff.)

sarah!: i love it that the first comment you leave for me is on this particular post. no, boss, it was NOT about you!

trav: i eased my work stress with loads of take-out chinese food and the msg just melted away the anger. score!

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before...
