Fuckit, I'm baking cookies. I need to do more beside seething and applying bourbon.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Rage baking: probably added too much bourbon. At least theses cookies are forgiving.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Added too much bourbon to the cookies or to you? Because I think maybe rage bourbon is a pretty significant amount.

In AdultingDoNotWant, I get to take tomorrow morning off to take my car to the shop to get the oxygen sensor replaced. The engine started running rough this morning, and tonight the check engine light came on. I took my last chance turn to stay off the freeway--not a place I want to be when the car's being weird at rush hour--and picked my way through dark streets I didn't know, hoping for an auto shop and that the car would die on me. Finally, I get to a red light, I'm trying to decide which way to go, and the universe thunked me in the head to point out that directly on the other side of the intersection was an O'Reilly's Auto Parts. So I found out the car wasn't going to be dying on my in the middle of the highway and I'm going to get it fixed tomorrow.

Yeah, rage bourbon sounds like the right plan to me. As does a serious come to Jesus with your employer.
I'm side eyeing my own employer at the moment--my coworker on this project quit, apparently (shocker) and her last day is supposed to be this Friday. But lo and behold suddenly she has an interview today for the manager position? The one I had to wait two months to interview for, a month to get approved for, and still don't actually HAVE? If she gets it now I WILL be throwing a shit fit.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Connie, at least that's a nice easily resolved bit of adulting.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yay booze! Also, yay Secret Science Club! This month’s lecture was by the director of The Swarm Lab. He talked about slime mold. It was very cool!

Oooh, rage baking. Hmm, I should bake something for dinner tomorrow night. More gingerbread bars? Theses came out awesome, although I'm out of white chocolate: [link]

Uhg, meara. Not cool.
So the minor nuclear on fb has netted me two rando lunch invites from work friends in different divisions (both personal friends outside of work and just workywork friends) and a lot of pm-ing with suggestions from other coworkers, past and present.
So I think I'm moving,somewhere.
And bourbon for me and cookies, excess for both, but it's working. For the cookies, at least.

Yay for bourbon and contacts
