today i'm going to try very hard to separate my mental health and my self-worth from my fucking 'job performance.'
i wasn't put on this earth to excel at project management for a university system that has been steadily abolishing good jobs for the last ten years.
what's important is that this evil empire owes me a goddamn pension. i am 3 years from retirement, and by god they are going to PAY.
If you could steal one thing without consequence what would it be?
Stealing someone’s body back doesn’t count, does it? Because if I could fucking get Nadia’s body back from that bitch who’s taken it over, I would. But, that’s not how this shit works.
I’d say your girl, but I can already do that. I don’t know, probably a fuckton of money? Or something ridiculous that I don’t need, like a yacht. Or a private plane.
Name: Nadia Kazmi

Age: Twenty-six
Birthday: 28 December 1991
Zodiac: Capricorn
Gender: Female

+ Passionate + Shrewd + Self-sufficient + Cultured

PHYSICAL
Height: 5′6″
Build: Lean, but not athletic
Eye colour: Brown
Hair color: Brunette
Posture: Pretty good, though not perfect. Slouches a bit at work because she’s sitting down most of the time. Growing up, her mom was very adamant about having a perfect posture, which Nadia often rebelled against, but now she’s in her mid-twenties and feeling the repercussions of that, so she’s working on improving it.
Right / Left Handed: Left
Typical gestures: She generally uses her hands a lot when talking, especially if she’s speaking in one of her weaker langues (e.g. English and chiefly Russian with her maternal grandparents). She also fusses with her hair a lot -- tucking it, flicking it, tying it up then letting it down, etc. Crosses her arms, purses her lips, and a lot of dismissive hand-waving.
Typical body language: She likes to keep her body pretty controlled when in company with others. So, like I said before, she is working on her posture for that reason as well. While standing, she tries to keep her shoulders back and her chin up to maintain a certain air of dignity, yanno? Demands respect lol.
Typical tone: Kind of hard and serious? Edging on abrasive sometimes, though that depends on the topic of conversation, obviously. I wouldn’t say she talks very fast but definitely faster than most.
Hobbies: Collecting art prints and vintage books; meditation and yoga; and whittling (her dad taught her).

experience things that you personally find uncomfortable. every day, even. it’s how people in a society learn to live together and how we, individually, develop tolerance and move toward greater empathy.
Not ME, of course. I would rather die than have to do all that.
when a faculty member is being an imperious cunt to you, a member of the lowly “staff,” and you have the opportunity to be a cunt right back to them, with the full knowledge that you are correct and have done nothing wrong…well, there are few things in the world that feel as good as being the Bigger Cunt in that situation.
