I am babysitting today and Thursday this week and every Tuesday for the next several weeks. Yay, for earning a tiny bit of income!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

G was very upset when his mom left today, but he has been good ever since.

I have been extremely productive, but I still (always) have more to do.
But I really want to curl up on the couch tonight and catch up on some TV.
I've been very good. I want a break.

Erin, take a break. Don't burn yourself out.
I would really like to have some energy and not feel cold and achy. I have things I need to do today, and I don't know if I'm going to be up to it.
The really frustrating thing is that according to my latest round of lab work, I *am* getting better. I guess I'm now just well enough to realize how unwell I feel.

Ach, Jilli, I hope you get to feeling better. I hate when I feel shite and have things to do -- slogging through the mud of misery.
I think I'm going to work for an hour while dinner is cooking, and then do some serious vegging. Then maybe I'll have a second wind and can get some more done later, but for now, it's clean the cat box, take out the upstairs trash, PJ's and make dinner, send query, edit.
Then catch up on SPN and Downton Abbey. It's...like a job requirement, right?! Pop culture and historical research for copyediting? HA! I should deduct cable...
(OK, I think unfunny things I say are funny. I'm DEFINITELY taking some time off.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
PSA: Don't ever knock the back bumper off of a Toyota Camry. $770 to replace and paint. All out of my pocket. Upside? It's not the full $2500 deductible I was responsible for.
I'm ready to turn in my company car and ask for a car allowance instead.
(Yes, I realise my diamond shoes are too tight, but I'm still pissed.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My head is full of snot. No room for thinking in there. Too much snot.

It's mind-boggling to me how many managers think employees can't be trusted and you have to ride them every moment to get work out of them.
Yeah. I'm having a meeting with my department admin tomorrow because one of the coordinators I work with thinks she should be able to micromanage my workload. I work for four coordinators, I can't do just her work and she can't set priorities for me for those other people. I set my own priorities. I don't think I'm going to be working with her much longer.

Grrr. Saved half of my sandwich from lunch because it was huge (and so good). I could have finished it and been stuffed, but I decided to not be greedy. And then I left the damn thing on the counter when I went to pay. And the server had brought me an extra new pickle when she brought me the box!

What Jilli said.
And what Erin said wrt to feeling better, Jilli.
I really need to get some answers from my doctor when I see her next week. My iron is fine now, my vitamin D levels are fine now, so where the heck is my energy?

I feel for you. I bought a latte on my way to babysit and spilled half of it in the cupholder before I ever got a sip.

Ugh, what a giant pain. At least if you were using your own car, you can decide on a reasonable deductible.
