Because books.

For the record, I hate everyone today.

Hmph. See if anything nice shows up your email later, missy.

I'm having a Very Monday Monday. But I'm baking once the eggs and butter are room temp, which will be good. Also listening to "Forget You" very loud, on repeat.

I am leaving work to have a crown put on my tooth in 30 minutes. I hate everything more than ita.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I hate everyone today. You're all being too stupid.

Woot! That was my goal when I woke up: Be Stupid Enough To Make ita Post About It.

Related to The Stupid: I made 2 co-workers praise my name today simply because I showed them that they could assign keyboard shortcuts to things like the plus/minus symbol, instead of memorizing and typing the alt + longass numerical code that Windows uses.

No, really.

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

I have to work with a new developer. I don't want to work with a new developer. And he sits over there. I don't want to walk over there. Also, people on the internet think stupid things where I can see them.

There's no redeeming today.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So far today I have been asked to find examples of specific language within documents filed by Chinese companies with the Hong Kong Companies Registry and oh by the way the examples need to be in English and free, and to get an English version of a Spanish medical article that was really an Italian medical article that was never published in English.

I'm going to lunch now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sorry, Perkins, that made me laugh.

I'm starting to think about Christmas presents, and my problem is that I always think half of my ideas are too obvious. Like, I would get the Jay-Z book for my cousin, but won't someone else do that, too?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Because work was a fail, I watched 3 CMs, a CSI, and a Bones. Then I emptied the dishwasher, started refilling it and washed a sinkful of dishes. Also just put in a load of laundry and moved a load to the dryer. More than enough for the day, I think. I am going to try to get a package in the mail before picking up mac, but I am unsure if that will really happen.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I had to get into work where it is crazybusynuts and did not get to walk the pups this morning. They are out in our big fenced backyard and have comfy beds on a covered porch and fresh water, so they aren't suffering, but I feel bad. I am leaving a little early to go home and take them on an extra-long walk.

Because books.

msbelle did her stuff and all my stuff, too.

Like, I would get the Jay-Z book for my cousin, but won't someone else do that, too?

That's what gift receipts are for!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I think I am getting a cold right before ThDay, or else that sinus infections I had never quite went away. Maybe both. anyway, I am not best pleased. I have THINGS TO DO, people! Most of which involve cleaning products and dust and fur, which just exacerbate my nose and cough.

On the plus side, I feel not exhausted, despite getting only 4 1/2 hours of sleep. I woke up coughing, and could have slept more, but got up to blow my nose 8000x and decided to had to much to do to just go back to bed.

Hec, the only slightly non trad things we make is a deliciously trashy thing we call cherry junk. It's a combo of cherry pie filling, crushed pineapple and whipped cream. I can get the proportions from my mom, if you want. It's the easiest thing in the world to make, and complement ham and turkey well, esp. for those of us who don't like the cranberry relish.

I am liking The Walking Dead; there are some really funny parts, and though I haven't read the comics, I understand there's quite a bit of interesting character development. I'm not spoiling myself (yet) with the comics, but I am liking watching the show. It's early days, yet, too, so I'm thinking now that they've established some of the character's and their motivations, it will start to pick up.
