You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

hip deep in pie

How not to start your Monday, by Sue: Have the cats wake you up at 6:45. Get up to feed them. Have your foot slip out from under you on the 2nd step and slide, at what feels like a great speed down the rest of the stairs. Ow.

Fortunately, I only ache a little bit...my right hip, ankle and back all are a bit hurty, but nothing too bad. I have a tiny patch of rug burn. In the moments that I was lying at the bottom of the stairs, in shock over what happened, all I was thinking was, "Well there's an argument for keeping carpet on the stairs."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ow! Take some advil or something, because it will probably hurt more later.

Good advice!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What's the point of the coffee shop people using the wax paper thing to get me my bagel? They put the paper into the bag with the bagel, so any germs that were on either side of the paper would end up on the bagel eventually.

Because books.

I woke up with sciatica in my right ass cheek. Since I'm not nine months pregnant, this seems really unfair. And I think we really need a new mattress.

Just in case anyone was wondering, coming to work today was, in fact, the worst. Although at least I'm not in pain.

Dear My Boss:

I am inserting myself into this meeting to HELP YOU. You should not be handling this project. It is totally my job, and you have bigger fish to fry, WHICH YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW. You are keeping me out of too many loops, and I don't think it's actually on purpose, but it doesn't actually help any of us.You are quickly approaching the point where you've been here long enough that you should know what's going on.

Warmly,

J

Ooh, I like, "Warmly." Just one step away from HEATEDLY, YOU MORON, without actually going there.

I actually do feel personally warm toward her, but I can't decide if I hope she's fucking up because she doesn't know better, or gaslighting me. I mean, I would always prefer not to be gaslighted, but I'd also prefer to have a boss who is smarter than I am.

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

FWD: MY BOSS TOO. SRSLY.

Of course, I can't get any work done today anyway because all of my technology is still on vacation.

Things not working: printer, email, SAP, FTP.

Things working: Facebook, B.org.

Who am I to argue with the universe's master plan?
