All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Oh, my god, what is tomorrow? Unless it's Stay in Your Pajamas Day, I'm against it.

This exact thing was proposed at work today. It could happen.

Sometime last month Lee posted a whiskey advent calendar either here or FB and I took the bait. I am currently sipping a 25 yr old Glenfarclas.

Nice!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think that was JZ originally, but I still kind of wish I had bought the bourbon one.

Maybe next year.

That sounds pretty awesome!

I tried going dancing but only managed to stay until 11 (which id say it really gets going around 10-1030). My head is hurting. So annoying, since my flight isn't until late-ish tomorrow, so I could've stayed up and slept in! Ah well.

hip deep in pie

There are two different places doing beer advent calendars this year here. I was going to make myself an advent calendar, but I just bought a chocolate one instead.

I tried pressure steaming my hard-boiled eggs this time. Gotta say, they peeled real easy.

I do not have chocolate or whiskey at the moment, though, which is kind of disappointing now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, did I tell you guys about ordering hard-boiled eggs from the supermarket? They come all peeled and perfect!

So I just had a weird breakthrough while brushing my teeth. I had told my (acting) boss yesterday that I'm interested in the permanent job I'm currently acting in, and he was basically like, I don't think you're strategic enough. So, part of what I'm not strategic enough in is demonstrating my skill to my boss, and I know this. But it's also kind of true that I'm not the most strategic thinker in the world in the way that the head of the department should be. So as long as a new boss hired isn't actively insulting to me (apparently they are interviewing someone with five years of experience?????), I think I would be happy sticking to a more operational role, and I should just get over myself. Huh!

I really didn't need to be woken up by cramps at 4:30 am.

Went and got the laptop because I have shit to kick off and 2 meetings I shouldn't miss. Barely was convinced to shower before I went in. At least it was early.

I was thinking recently about how fundamentally a man cannot understand this. Regular pain that is bad enough to wake you up? That should be a problem to be treated! Instead it's just the cost of doing business with a uterus.

Yup.

That's a good epiphany. 'Staying more operational" is a good phrase, I'm going to incorporate that into my career-discussions at work.

ETA I have packed my stuff to be ready to go to the gym after work. After running errands the last two days after work, maybe I should jut roll with it and make it work for me?
