I always hear these exchanges in his voice lol

There’s a reason for that.

[Editor’s note: Of course there is. And Duchess, I’m sure you worry occasionally about your godmother’s sanity, but I promise I’m not driving her any more crazy than absolutely necessary.]

I suppose writers do require a little insanity here and there. And - wait, ‘Duchess’?

[Editor’s note: These Tumblpeople call you their empress, right? And she’s your heir apparent, last I checked. Ergo, Duchess.]

That makes about as much sense as anything else.

I️ get this in my job too…no we can’t make that referral for cat surgery again after two years without having seen you in that time. >_< People are incredibly frustrating. I️ really hope the rest of your day is far less frustrating!

Yes! Or that neither I nor the doctor can’t write an attestation of current health state without seeing the patient, or just after one visit. 

People are frustrating because they are frustrated themselves. I understand that, as well as I know how shitty the health care system here is. Having to wait weeks for an appointment when your mental health is crumbling would frustrate anyone. Hence me making sure that the patient gets that appointment this week and I can have a session with her on Friday. 

But people are often unpredictable in their reactions and sometimes their only outlet of anger and frustration is writing complaints, even if they’re unreasonable.

I can send you the challenge my family did last year and that I'm trying again this year if you would like?

I definitely wouldn’t complain! Just be aware that it won’t start til July (giving myself a month to recover after birth lol)

It's getting seriously bad!! I wish they would do something about it!!

@ladynorbert replied to your post  “Just flagged and blocked 5 more porn blogs. UGH.”

SAME

DUDES. Seriously... all you can do is flag them so they don’t hit other people... and it never feels like enough. Ironically it always comes in waves, like 3 or 4 at a time and then  nothing for a few days/weeks. Makes one wonder.

@thequeenbeegeek 1,6,8 :-) Thanks for replying!

1. the meaning behind my url I was trying to make a name that was had the similar flavour of the Bruce Coville line of short story books: Oddly Enough, Odds are Good, etc, since I was trying to something catchy and unique. After playing around and finding oddlyenough was taken (I think), and casuallyodd didn't sound right at first (kinda wish I changed it but it felt like I trying too hard to be cool), I came up with casualoddities. I was trying to get a sense of the strange things in the world that we just accept and roll with- the quiet, subtle oddities of the world.

So far I don't seem to fit the blog name!

6. favorite band There's a special place in my heart for Blind Guardian. They are a German orchestral metal band, and even after 30 + years of making music they still sound awesome. It was one of the first things that my boyfriend and I bonded over (he got me into the music), so it was triply great that we got to see them this year!

8. top 5 (insert subject) Flavours Mint Chocolate Raspberry Orange Bacon

3, 5, and 9 for the introduce myself meme

3. tattoos i have

I actually don’t have any!! 

5. piercings i have

When I was younger, I had my ears pierced. But then they got infected, it got icky, and I haven’t worn them since, so no piercings

9. tattoos i want

I don’t think I want any?? I’m awful with needles so that would be a no go and I don’t know, having something permanent on my skin...I’m not sure what I would want, I’d be too picky

Lol we are required to wear all black at work so I have this massive section of my closet that is now all black, I’m kinda okay with this

I was a goth for years, so I don’t feel it’s completely unexpected.  But the fact that I was entirely unaware of it until I looked in the mirror at work was rather amusing.
