While I'll concede we're less healthy nowadays, the office procedures and hospitalizations would have been free, soooo...

Well, husband's less healthy. I'm steady state a fucking disaster. Genetics are a bitch.

(though, also not accounting for inflation, but if I remember the exchange rate correctly, they, at worst, offset -$4000 CDN in 2019 is a little less than $4000 US in 2025. A fact I also hadn't considered until just now and... That fact also does not feel good)

Ah, but it's been such a fun time in fury-induced insomnia land lol

(though if they could plan future BS like this for *not* after a 20 month long string of costly crises, that'd be great)

Idk if there's a solution when one party is like "actually we enjoy the pain and suffering this is causing" but it does feel shitty right now.

It does really suck to have had my pay held hostage only for them to decide that it was for nothing after all.

Like... What did I just spend a month and a half suffering for, even?

I get that there's others worse off than me, and I'm lucky to have the credit limit on my credit cards to float me...

(He shouldn't feel too special about that, though. I also still hate the TB Lightning for winning the first NHL game I attended, and that was 1998)

And hey, DNC, if you're wondering about my ability to hold grudges, I still hate the former mayor of Halifax for a single off-handed comment made at a volunteer recognition event I attended - in 2016

I'm used to no party actually giving a shit about things important to me (*stares at the ableism on both sides of the border, for starters*)

But no party has so thoroughly told me to go fuck myself as the DNC did tonight.

Also, how am I supposed to rack up the free law questions answered if she won't remember to ask me weather questions??? SMH

If only there'd been someone else she could possibly have asked for a personalized forecast.

Possibly even someone willing to watch radar for them.

If only.

Exactly. I fear that someone has just poured barrels of accelerant onto a massive smoldering fire that surrounds us all

If it's God's will that children die needlessly, I plan to go straight to hell because I don't want to serve that bastard.

"just don't use Word"??

Hell... Might as well tell you only typewriter and vintage fountain pens are acceptable

And while that *does* sound fun for hobby purposes, it's... Not what I'd do for work.

My job isn't even writing and I don't think I could avoid Word.

The monetary returns on investment in my dog remain negative, and continue to worsen... And she thinks my husband is the source of all her favorite things (bc he's home and doesn't work lol).

That being said, if anyone is willing to pay for effective, total document shredding... 😂🫠
