How would you feel about Onerous Task Support Group Hour?
I could really use it...I have phone stuff at work I'm flinching away from right now, for no good reason besides just plain not liking phones. It's stupid and it makes me completely infuriated at myself.
Some scary pictures:
Firefighters try to extinguish a fire at a building in Shanghai, November 15, 2010. A 30-storey residential building caught fire on Monday, local firefighters said in a Xinhua News Agency report. At least 12 are dead and dozens more injured, according to Reuters
I fixed a toilet this morning. Just the handle/flush mechanism and not perfectly, but it works for now. It's been broken for nearly a month, requiring the removal of the top of the tank and manually pulling the chain to flush.
No fair! You already did your onerous task!
I'm thinking of the avoidy projects that tend to rollover on your to-do list. Or don't go on the to-do list because them you'd have to do them.
I've started turning the spaceship into a fort/clubhouse. It's just a floor and frame down, sort of sad. But it'll get better soon.
Finishing The Sound and the Fury has been on my to-do list for months. ugh. Do not like.
I would totally be into an Onerous Task Support Group. I have onerous tasks. They need doing. Who better than me?
I read that a snake somewhere gave birth to viable virgin parthenogenetic babies. I like that better for the virgin birth thingy, since it was only that snake doing it. I mean, she wasn't devaluing the specialness, you know?
Though I'm not sure she was a virgin. Just that there was no male input into that particular batch.
