lapsed but better

I had a momentary lapse this morning, after weeks of reminding myself that it's just a job. I feel better now, thanks to my being back to not caring how things are run around here.

"Ashes of Honor"

"Is there a reason why you're out here threatening us with your frying pan?"
(later)
"I am glad you called me."
"Who else am I going to call when there is a monster on my car?"

Yes, I am reading Seanan McGuire's "Ashes of Honor".

"Mistakes"

"Some people can't handle making mistakes. They don't last. Some people shrug them off easily. They don't all work out either... The people who look for ways to *fix* mistakes - most of whom don't go quite as far as this, admittedly - those are the people we most want to keep."

The Honor Guard to one of their support personnel recruits, in the 3rd issue of Kurt Busiek's "AstroCity".
