Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

NB: That high school boyfriend also took cars for joyrides and stole car radios, so all the bad stuff was not beat out of him.

I just checked my bank balance, and now I'm double checking all my bills, because there was more than I expected and I'm sure that means I missed something. But there doesn't seem to be. It's sad when doing well is a source of stress.

Dang. I'm working the sale tomorrow and I'm until 6, so I was planning on not coming in to the office until 9:30, but I have to do a thing that has an early deadline. Dangnabbit all to heck.

All right, I have uploaded some receipts that I hope will get a charge approved so I don't have to pay back my FSA, because seriously. And I just called the pharmacy because my insurance will not approve 90 day prescription refills, for that would be too convenient.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Just got hit in the face with my iPad because a passing truck startled a kneading Loki.

You need to get hold of their new version, the iPadded.

Ha, got the tomorrow morning thing done today. I think.

Do not feel like going to the gym now...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay, I used the treadmill today. Let's see if I can use it another time this week.

I think the last straw fell; elimination of separate sick leave without an increase in PTO.

Just sent an intemperate one liner to my retiring boss.

I am feeling really glum about my career, a direct result of someone I knew when she was a 23 year old intern just getting a department-head level job at Emory. I feel like every job I get is a step down - I started at a top academic research library, then went to a big state school, and now I'm at a (good) public library. Every single one of those moves was due to moving for mr. flea's work, and then having to find a new job in whatever city we ended up. But I feel like I'll never have a good job again, and I'm getting past my prime.
