My mom had a shitty day at work today. Recently someone stole money from them so it has already been difficult and for the past few months since my mom has been in charge, she has been firing and hiring like crazy. Today my mom came into work and her 1st receptionist slid a note under the door saying shes quitting and walked out. Not long after the other receptionist wasn't feeling good and got carried to the hospital on a stretcher. So...not good. My mom was stressed and got my aunt to help answer phones while another girl did three jobs at once.
My mom was basically done by then until one woman called and went on about how happy she was that my mom was in charge. Shes even planning to buy over $600 worth of chairs for the clinic (my moms work). Then as my mom was getting Caribou coffee for one of her workers for helping out, someone else paid for it.
At this point my mom was shocked and close to tears because this one person decided to be kind. I'm not sure if that person bought it specifically for her but thank you. This really changed my moms day and it should show everyone that even the littlest things can help someone. Really. Thank you.
Im done
It’s Grantaire’s solo that didn’t make it to the final cut of the 2012 movie. And George sang it completely in character. It was calm and peaceful, but with undertones of fear and sadness.
It’s June 5th (or 6th in the east), the anniversary of the Paris Uprising of 1832, which the Les Amis de l'ABC could’ve been part of have they actually existed 184 years ago. GEORGE POSTED IT AT 1 A.M. A VERY APPROPRIATE TIME, PROBABLY THE TIME THE AMIS STARTED SINGING ‘DRINK WITH ME’.
George took the video at the intersection of Rue Rambuteau and Rue Mondétour, THE SITE OF THE BARRICADE. THE SITE WHERE THE LES AMIS DE L'ABC SUPPOSEDLY FELL. Let that sink in for a moment.
For the reason above, “will the world remember you when you fall?” is very painful because the June Rebellion of 1832 is a very obscure piece of French history, and it is Hugo’s ‘Les Misérables’ that gave this event widespread renown, as Hugo himself witnessed the battles at the barricades. (Side note: Do you know why they call it ‘Rebellion’? It’s because it failed. The republicans lost. If they didn’t, it would probably be called 'Revolution’.)
Happy(???) Barricade Day, indeed. RIP, the fallen republicans of the 1832 Paris Uprising
john mulaney has checked into rehab. here’s what we are going to do:
• support him
• wish him well
• respect his privacy
here’s what we are NOT going to do
• make jokes because addiction is not funny
• speculate anything about his marriage or personal life
• attack those in his personal life (*ahem, leave anna alone. don’t go asking pete davidson for details. none of that)
addiction is a serious disease, and while this news may be troubling, i am so proud of him for seeking help. you can too.
I'm all pierce and no veil
i’m all panic and no disco
