We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, flea!

I have already had an accomplishment today: I figured out how to use the postage meter at work. And learned that a small barrette inside a card is still light enough for just one stamp.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I have to do performance reviews today. Fortunately, I'm finally in a place where I have a really strong team of people that I hired rather than inherited. So for once I am not expecting any tears.

I managed to offload a bunch of tasks to other people because I'm just too overloaded.

….it's only resulted in more work for me.

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

One of my month end tasks I did yesterday I did incorrectly. It is setting up agreements with 8 customers, you do them each month, a new agreement to last only the month. I entered all of these to last only the DAY. GAH!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, crap, my self-eval is due Friday and I haven't done anything for it. And I don't know when I will have time. Damn it.

At least I have stripey purple and green stockings for Mardi Gras [link]

Art Crawl!!!

Yum: there are paczkis in our conference room. 3 different flavors.

Okay - I don't know what paczkis are supposed to be like: but these are like filled doughnuts. I am not disappointed.

That's what they're like. Right on!

I don't have an office to take paczkis to this year. Boo. (Well, technically I *do*, but it's just me and the pets. Kato would love some paczkis. I should go get some for me and Tim later.)

You totally should get some. It is a once a year thing, right?

It is a once-a-year thing. I'll definitely get one for Tim, but I had some king cake Saturday night and my guts are still a little unhappy about that. Maybe I can just steal a bite of Tim's.

I really wanted to get donuts for the office today, but I don't think I'll have time. Donut shop doesn't open until I'm at work, does that seem right to you?
