Heh. I actually haven't put on but one pair that is too short since winter. Really need to go through all my jeans since I have multiple sizes.

I'll work something out.

Sonic. Mmm, green chile cheeseburgers and cherry limeade. How I miss them. I've heard there is a new MD Sonic, but I'm pretty sure they don't carry hatch chiles like the LC ones do.

Some of the poses he does (like one armed handstand) are so beautiful.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

So this afternoon, as I was waiting for the staff meeting to get underway (an hour and half late), I was plugging away on the computer when the ED and Director of Development wandered into the office in quiet conversation.

They said something like, "So, what do you think" or "Isn't that a good idea?". Since I had no idea what they were talking about, and that the raised voice levels must mean they were talking to me, I turned around and said, "Hmm?"

One of them busts out with, "There's no need to get snippy with us!" And then I'm trying to explain that I had no idea what they had been talking about, what they were still trying to talk about, and that the whole "this is a GOOD thing!" meant nothing to me because I hadn't heard a word of their subsonic conversation.

So later the ED is trying to pacify me that moving into the office of my beloved coworker isn't bad. I'm still so fucking upset that either they used the "snippy" as a joke, or they went in expecting me to be, and acted accordingly. Except that I love my coworker and they think I'm upset over the absolutely wrong thing.

It's in my performance evaluation that I get "defensive". I have absolutely no foothold for having contrary opinions. Expressing such is seen as "argumentative" and defensive. How the hell am I supposed to react when my legs are cut out from under me before I even get an actual word out?

The bloom is off the fucking rose.

I meant to add, but other poses, like where he pins his arm underneath his hip to form a shelf...so biomechanically bad. Shoulder out and back, man! alignment!

Juliebird, that blows. It's a terrible place for you to be in. Is there anyone you can discuss it with?

In Sonic/Donors Choose news.... They've actually funded 761 projects so far. So mine certainly had enough votes. I wonder if they are doing it by amount...like we're giving ~$100,000 this week, how many of the top projects is would vary?

This is me!

I lost 4 lbs this week due to stress and work and actively trying. I had a pesto gorgonzola with chicken tonight so I'm sure to have gained back much of it.

Happy birthday, Perkins!

First week of school is over and we are all tired over here. Early to bed night!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That one's halfway to a capoeira kick. Which I...need to go look up, because I cannot spell it for shit. Aha. It's the queda de rins -- fall on the kidney. Here's how it looks, capoeira-style. Is that ergonomically better?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds...unlikely to have been 14,000 calories.

Is it possible to be a shipper and not be romantic? I swear I'm not romantic. Honest. I just...I just keep pairing people off on TV. That's different, right?

Also, people should call 911 more often on TV. I mean, even if they're too late, TRY PEOPLE.
