Pastpossum - Decidedly Ambivalent

The best time of my adult life was when I was laid off because my job went to India and I stayed unemployed (and uninsured) for four months.

As an asthmatic with bad allergies I personally generally loathe rugs and carpets of all kinds because they are filthy things that are just waiting to make me sneeze and wheeze even more (also I share my pets' hatred of the vacuum, because it is loud and throws dust everywhere) but now I am considering getting an area rug for the living room because poor dog has arthritis and luxating patellas and I think it might be better for her than the hardwood. But my extra moment of angry-old-lady is this: what the fuck is the deal with everything being "distressed"? It's a *rug*, for fucks sake, it will be distressed soon enough if it's on my floor. It just looks like they were running out of ink in the printer. And you can't really set search results to exclude things with that term.

Sunday morning I had a very detailed and vivid dream that I quit my job, essentially with no notice. I even remember the wording of the letter: "Please accept my resignation immediately". I don't remember what in my dream triggered it. But I spent all day today feeling really weird about working, because wtf am I doing? I quit! Why am I doing this? Also my days of the week are messed up and today could not be Monday and had to be at least Tuesday because clearly we've already had one work day already this week, when I quit. So confusing.

Petfinder won't let you just straight up search for gremlins, you just have to get lucky.
