I give up, yo.
I think I'm just sort of cranky about the Current State of My Life. Happens every year during the holiday season.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I get various sorts of crazy between TG and NYers. Varies as to how it manifests, just all the disruptions to routine.
And stupid weather. I knew I should have brought my boots in, but stubbornly refused because SNOW, YOU WILL NOT STAND. Yeah, that worked really well. Hopefully, they've cleaned the sidewalks out front.
Fb blank for anyone else?

OK people, tell me good stuff that happened to you. Even if it's just that you ate really good curry for lunch.

My office party was pretty fun. We do that game where everyone gets a $10 gift and we take numbers and pick a gift to open, but someone with a higher number can steal it. There are relatively few duds and everyone is good spirited about it (a women without pierced ears opened earrings, and someone promptly stole them from her). I work with nice people.

I think that's it. My apartment is completely upside-down, I keep suffering insomnia so can't focus, and my book issues make me feel sort of embarrassed and failed every day. Which, you know, I'm totally keeping in mind is very first world.
Still, I've reached the point of irritation with it all now that I need to punch someone in the face.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
sarameg, fb is blank for me too, but I'm on my iPhone and that app craps out all the time.
Good stuff - my new bras arrived, and because of the weather I was home to get them and didn't have to make an annoying trip out to UPS.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That would explain my coworker asking if it was blocked just now...
I had free eggnog earlier! That was good. But now I have to go to a holiday party at my boss's house.

Ugh, Allyson--insomnia can definitely take a toll.
Happy news? I'm going to Europe on Monday!!!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Good stuff: My office is having a movie day on Tuesday because there are no events scheduled in our building and no one does any work the week before Christmas anyway. Our four multi-purpose rooms are being turned into a mini-multiplex with two showings. Movies include Toy Story 3, Up, Wall-E, and one of the Shrek movies. There will be free popcorn.
My firm? A very button-down financial services company.
