I called to get my dryer repaired! Only took a couple of months!

Also sent an email to a mortgage broker a friend recommended to ask about a refi.

Now I just need to call and get a new key for my mailbox.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Right now, just doing my job is enough of an onerous task for me.

Man. I can't spare the brain space for it for a few weeks, but after the holiday whirlwind dissipates and I clean up its debris, I really ought to start job-hunting for serious. I have little hope, but I need to try.

Speaking of That's What She Said, the UCLA Department of Classics Grad Students held a conference titled that this weekend: [link]

The subtitle was The Construction and Expression of Women's Voices in Antiquity. I am torn between, "Cute, and you pulled one over on the probably antediluvian faculty member supervising you," and "I do not think that means what you think it does."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, I'm not doing that.

MY SISTAH!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My onerous task is a conversation I need to have with my boss, but I can't do that until she's out of meetings.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

(a) That's what she said.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who went there.

I'm busy at work. I don't have time to handle any personal onerous tasks. Does that count as doing one?

work = totally onerous

Or, okay, ideally not. But tying you up in the middle of prime Buffista cheerleading and blowing off work time? Yeah.
