Oh, status report, fuck. I forgot to do mine. Boss will need it before her meeting with her boss in the morning. I could do it right now! ...argh. I'm fair certain she never looks at the damn thing anyway.

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

Because books.
I was thinking a second house. And the panelling could be painted.
Well, fine. Be sensible. I'll even paint the paneling, because I need excuses to paint, having rented for way too long.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I believe I have finished all my wrapping for Christmas. I think I've found all the prezzies I had hidden in my room.
The snow has started - we are expecting 8-12 inches tonight/tomorrow. This is on top of the snow that fell on Monday. The roads have just finally gotten clear and now we get another dump of snow. I'm very happy I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've always dreamt of living in a barn.
Like, I have dreams in which I live in a barn, not that it's an aspiration. But it could work for me, is what I'm saying. With camels or not.
Eta: but I like the panelling, so, problems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm fair certain she never looks at the damn thing anyway.
Our CIO reads ours with a fine tooth comb and comes back with questions just about every week. This week, with consultants in from the content management company, she wants *daily* status reports. Motherfucker. And she's reading them. And my boss is reading them. And my manager is reading them.
I'm glad my boss thinks I did a good consultant wrangling job. I had a great time. I vibed really well with both consultants. We could be really casual around each other, and formed a team very quickly, and were able to focus on shared goals with only one unshared conclusion over the three days, which is pretty remarkable in my experience with technical folks with different backgrounds. One consultant, the senior one, was loud and brash, and matched me note for note, and the other one was kind of bashful, but laughed along with everything. He was very sweet. He seemed a bit startled to be having such a good time. But, jesus, my co-workers are hysterical. And MEAN.
Okay, let me fire up the work laptop. And also call in and change my work outgoing voicemail message, fuck.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And I want to travelmarry the both of you. We would be very happy together with our one plus one mentality, plus we're very hot.
It would be efficient! And we could all be each other's alibi if we're on a flight with Alec Baldwin and he refuses to shut his phone and one of us (me!) is forced to kick him in the nads. Because ita has led me to believe it is a very satisfying (for me) and painful (for them) kick.
