Ugh msbelle.
My work computer decided to get all jacked up today. Awesome. And I was already feeling overwhelmed and stressed out about work. Harddrive may be fucked.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

I'm depressed about the national results, but MA stayed bluer than blue (the Scott Brown fiasco aside), so there's that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
One of my favorite things about working from home is not getting dressed for work.
Mine, too. I'm currently in sweat pants with holes in them, a t-shirt with holes in it, fuzzy socks, and a plaid overshirt that matches exactly none of the other things. My cat doesn't care.
I'm sorry mac's having an unfortunate patch, msbelle.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Dammit. Our car just got towed. ARGH.
There's a lot of construction in our neighborhood, with lots and lots of otherwise usable parking spaces blocked off by construction signs. Last night Hec parked in a safe place --adjacent to a tow zone, but totally safe and legal. Sometime today the construction people added new signs, then called the city and had our car (and probably several others) towed.
And, thanks to ongoing stupidity with my daycare FSA administrators, the $500 reimbursement I was expecting last week has turned into $84 sometime later this week.
And now I have to run off to a joyless (and refreshment-less) staff meeting for the next hour. GNARGH.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
JZ, they can do that? Just change the zoning under cars that are legally parked and have them hauled away with no notice? That's insane.
I'm thinking of getting the Living Dead Dolls Christmas doll.

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

OMG! Someone just linked that Evan Bayh editoral as a way to prove her point that Democrats are demagogues. Way to miss the point there.

bad work day. Computer never got fixed, client hassled me about not being able to work on two projects at once, and I came home and checked my email and there is help desk ticket from a user who is saying how much are system sucks and how the agency should ditch. He is an idiot who doesn't know how to use apostrophes properly and thinks he should be able to program the system himself so I shouldn't be bothered but I'm really upset about it right now.

I HATE users like this. We usually get (for applications and stuff) Mr. Thinkshesaprogramer who is all, "Yeah good first try. Really needs to [do all this stuff it totally doesn't need to do and probably shouldn't do]but it will do."
