What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

[AmberLGreen]

I'm getting ready for a staff meeting I will want to escape. Lit's better than the 1,000 "what if" scenario questions I'll have to answer. You know, those people you want to put tape over their voodoo doll's mouth so they will stop talking. Everyone else on the meeting is banging their heads on their desks in frustration.

I am the “what if” person

Nothing quite like listening to a division head, explain to some sub sub sub level employee why you can't do something, for the 5th meeting in a row...

We have one worker who gives her opinion on EVERYTHING, even things that have nothing to do with her. Drives everyone else nuts. I cut her off on something about my workers and one of mine messaged me "thanks for shutting her down!"

The Ghost of the Unsent

It isn’t silence that ruins me.
It’s the words I almost gave you.

The I miss you burning holes in my chest.
The I adore you that claws at my throat -
a truth so sharp I fear it would drive you away.

So I erase.
Rewrite.
Erase again.

But the unsent never dies.
It hunts me.
Follows me into sleep.
A phantom pressing against my ribs,
a wound that refuses to close.

You will never read the words.
Yet they live inside me - feral, restless, unrelenting - until the day they break free.

And when they do -
they will not whisper.
They will not plead.

They will turn inward.
They will claw me open from the inside.
They will tear me apart for every moment
I chose fear over truth.

The ghost will not ruin you.
It will ruin only me.
And I will carry that destruction alone.

For every word I buried
will return as a curse -
etching its silence into my bones,
haunting each breath,
until I wither into nothing
but longing left unfinished.

And in the end,
you will forget me -
but I will never escape you.

That's very kind of you to say so, thank you!

Coming off a night shift and transitioning back to normal hours sucks.

Done that many times..always sucks.

Hey, it’s almost noon somewhere.

I wish someone was massaging my aching head

Cheese. Cheese on toast. Cheese with marmite. Cheese with more cheese. Cheese with lashings of pickle.

Cheese.

May I present….Cheez-it Pizza!

About time for the second coat and then off to be a real life Handy Manny for a couple of hours.

I fear this is what every Uber driver thinks 5 minutes into a ride with my sister and I.

Somehow I’m more interested in your conversations than theirs!!

You should see how prevalent this is in the live chat. There is a guy (can only be a guy) that is pretending to be a woman. In January 2025 their profile had these stats;

Stats: 22F 5-1 approx 100lbs. 32b Petite blonde blue eyes, no tats as of yet. I am fair skinned so not much hair.. so waxed. Small tight ass from the running (soccer) playing. Nerdy Accountant.

Then in August 2025 it was these stats;

Stats: 21F 5-1 approx 115lbs. 32b Petite blonde blue eyes, no tats as of yet. I am fair skinned so not much hair.. so I wax. Small tight ass from the running (soccer) playing. Working towards my degree - to be a nerdy Accountant with glasses.

In 7 months; they went back a year in time, put on 15 lbs (this is probably because 5'1" 100 lbs is somewhat unhealthy according to BMI tables so they looked it up and picked the halfway point in the healthy range), and because they went backwards in time they have to redo their degree. This is valuable information now we know that if we go back in time we don't take our current knowledge base with us.

do we have a name for this young lad .....

I had high hopes for thread play...giving at least an hour after the last post before adding my own - only to have the same thing as often happens occur. The same person instantly posted over me. Takes all the enjoyment out of posting. Why come to lit if there's no joy in posting at times?
