Litagy of Reasons for Not Blogging

What most of my faithful readers are probably wondering is: why have I been silent for so long? It was a combination of a cold (in the summer? I know!) and preparing for battle. Today I had my annual evaluation and had been forewarned that it would not be pretty, so I was braced for an ugly fight. However, almost everyone was an adult about it, and we amicably came to an agreement that this job simply does not mesh well with my particular skills. So I am still employed here but am looking, and they promised to give me a good reference.

The one immature individual in the bunch was surprisingly quiet for most of the meeting and at one point came out with this gem: “Your email came across as a litagy of complaints!” I’m guessing he meant a litany of complaints and just sort of mashed the word together with liturgy, since they are both “churchy” words.
