I have some bad news about the result of a screw-up of mine which I have to call the COO and tell him about. I am putting it off until ANOTHER crappy thing happens first. Not. My. Day.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

msbelle, I am so excited for you. It's going to be really amusing to watch you move and renovate and have fun with all that space.
I'm just so sick of comments on the order of "If those disgusting people would just make an effort and lose some weight instead of sitting on their fat asses watching TV." And people who think fat people shouldn't be allowed on airlines because they'll block the emergency exits.
Absolutely. Hateful people who make rude comments come in all sizes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I can't understand blaming the passengers for the lack of room on an airplane, it's so clearly the airlines' fault. Oh well.
I try to fly as little as possible anymore. It's just too uncomfortable. Last time I flew I was sitting next to one of my best friends, who happens to be about 5'5" and 110 pounds, and we were practically sitting on top of each other. If she hadn't been my friend it would have been unbearable.

As do idiots who will block emergency exits in an emergency, which is why I think the safety argument is ridiculous.

Flying is a pain in the ass. I'm over my (once strong) affection for planes and now they're just a necessary evil. I say this as someone who flies biz or first most of the time (most of my flying these days is for work) and I still find it a completely annoying experience more often than not.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I still have an affection for planes, but I don't like flying anymore.
I think I've flown four times since 9-11.

Punishingly Intricate
My gripe for the day is that the fucking doctor who did Bob's colonscopy has failed to send his doctor at Hopkins the pathology slides or the report from the test AGAIN today (after a week's delay due to snow and being off Monday and telling him they'd take care of it Tuesday). And she can't proceed with setting up a treatment plan for him until that happens. I'm so furious right now. And can't do anything about it because the doctor's office closes at fucking 3:30 or some shit. GRRRRRR

That's just awful, lisah! Really, REALLY bad care.

lisah, that is completely unacceptable. Can some Buffistas call and leave angry voicemails?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Love travel, hate flying. If I could teleport between airports (well, not most US ones--I think I hate all those) I would be a happier camper.
I just discovered some of the data problems are mine. But not the big one? Ugh. Suck.
A drink at a bar sounds like a great idea, javachik.
