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.)

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!

Erin, take a break. Don't burn yourself out.

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.

There's lots of Paterno memorial stuff going on. Listening to people around campus and reading comments in the local papers, I really don't understand why people have so much trouble saying that he did a lot of good things, and also did certain bad things. It seems like everybody's taking one of the sides, that either the good things or the bad things are SO good or bad that the other ones don't matter at all, and shouldn't even be mentioned. I don't get it.

People are not allowed to be complicated, flawed, make mistakes and yet still have done good things as well. Or, at least, we aren't allowed to acknowledge it.

I do this so often. I sometimes think of the to go box as a coffin for my leftovers.

Is that something worth looking into? Ugh also. Sorry you have such a stress.

I am Jillifonting this whole thing.

If you ever consider killing a spider without a barrier of some kind in place, don't. Even for a small spider. Ewww, gross. I am so wishing I could go back in time and use a tissue or something. It was squishy.

Oy, people. You're supposed to be having a better day than I am.

Cass, if I planned on being there for a while, yes. I'm hoping not to be.

Oh, I acknowledge that he did good things. It's just that the bad thing he did outweighed it.

It's kind of like that show Brimstone - cop that does good his whole life, but kills the man who raped his wife and goes to hell.
