I have a pretty stereotypical "smart kid" work ethic - if I decide something's worth my time/effort, I'll be the best little worker bee in the world, but give me busywork and I will procrastinate my ass off.
Yeah. It's alarming how much I can procrastinate on my busy work.
I mean, I rock the house with regular stuff, but the things with no real value added to my job are HARD to motivate for doing.
Relatedly, I am also the geek who will spend an hour programming something to do something boring, rather than spending half an hour just doing the thing myself. Just because it's a cooler approach to the problem.
Long term investment! What if you have to do Boring Task again? You've already automated it! Woo! (What? That's MY justification!)
Eh, it's usually a LOT harder to tell FTM trannies from bioguys than it is to tell MTF trannies from biogirls. Most of the guys I know who've been on T more than few months, and who've had chest surgery, you'd never know. A few, I can guess from experience (height is a big indicator), but even then...if they've got no tits and a full beard, how can you know?
This has been my experience, as well.
Gronk.
Peace to your fam, Sail.
I have no clothing. My mother packed a box of my clothes. It was all underwear and socks. The already packed box of clothes got left at the old house.
Sigh. (Well, at least I found a shirt.)
Gronk.
You know, it's a little depressing how quickly I'm getting responses on a bunch of work emails I've been sending out this a.m. Helpful, but depressing.
I'm reading a NY Times article about how people in developing countries are using cell phones. Really neat stuff going on there.
{{{{{Sail and family}}}}} I'm so sorry, hon.
{Sail & family} I'm so sorry for your loss.
It is Saturday. I am working. I am not at the beach. That is all.
Sail, so sorry. I can tell she'll be really missed.
(Speaking of missed...
LAURA! So nice to see you around more these days.
I am also not at the beach, but at least I'm not blizzarded, which I think Daniel and Andi may be.
poor roommate was on the patio last night and saw the suspect killed.

Woot! That's fantastic! And I know exactly what you mean about that awesome natural feeling when you fly in a dream. Clearly this is a sign that you and I must get together f2f soon!
I dreamed last night, too, but nothing nearly as elaborate.
the most interesting thing (to me) to come out of last night is B's description of what happened when the second shot was fired. The plaza was quite busy and B recognized the first sound as a gunshot and turned to look. At the second shot the crowd of people seated on the patio, walking across the plaza and in line at the box office threw themselves to the ground as a unit. Some people dove behind planters or other cover but I find it fascinating how well we've been trained. Ten years ago people would have been standing up like meerkats all, "what's going on?" Today we hear gunshots, we hit the deck.
{{{{{Sail and family}}}}} I'm so sorry for your loss. You're in my thoughts.
