Ugh, Sue.

I don't need to be super strategic today, more like over the course of the next year. I have to sit down and think about it, and break it into component parts. I need to network and stuff. I have to think about what I want to be when I grow up, and I DOAN WANNA.

Woo, Connie!

Bummer, Sue. Escalating while you were out is silly and poor form.

I told myself on Sunday that if I came home from work on Monday and Tuesday and moved forward on Operation Kitchen (last week I couldn't face doing anything after work) I'd treat myself to a movie today. And I did! But now I'm second-guessing myself because there's a storm today and there probably won't be tomorrow and maybe I'd rather just drive home through the wind and rain instead of driving to the theater and then later driving home?

Either way, I am not too interested in doing my actual work. I mean, I am doing my actual work, but I'm letting my attention wander quite a bit whenever I can. Just a lot of not caring very much.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

amyth, which 5K is that? I would totally be up for something to support their memorial.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Tornadoes and earthquakes and NC are unmixy things. Maybe the planet is trying to shake teh stoopit out of NC politicians?

I think it's gonna take something a lot higher on the Richter scale to manage that. Possibly a hell mouth opening in Raleigh would do it.

Once nice thing. I have a Macy's card, and they changed their credit card processing service last year. The site was broken and I got charged a late fee for not paying my bill on time even though I'd set up an automatic payment before the transition. I complained to Macy's and they sent me a check! You done fucked up, but you fixed it, Macy's. Four for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't get my strategic thinking done today, but tomorrow is another day!

I think I've talked myself out of a movie today. Tomorrow.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am having serious problems with my mid-term memory today. Like, if I get started on a task, fine, good, I can totally do the shit out of that task. But when I get ready to do the next thing? I have, like, zero memory of what that next thing was supposed to be. And then I wander around aimlessly for a bit, which is possibly not really the most productive way to spend my day. I know it's probably a hangover effect from being sick so long, but it is very disconcerting.

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

Timelies all!

Got a new computer at work.The one I was using was old and slow, and a couple of the keys fell off, so a new one is most welcome.
