For the first time in a very long time, I'm going to take an actual national holiday off work. I've asked for Memorial Day off so I can have a four-day weekend like most of the rest of the country. So strangely decadent.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
How did I manage before smartphones? Oh, right, badly.
Right? Between my phone reminding me of most everything and autopay taking care of the bills, my masquerade as a responsible adult is far more successful than it otherwise would be.
Four-day weekend? I don't think most of the country gets that. But you should enjoy yours, Connie!

This particular Democrat isn't wild about smokeless smoking, but compared to not voting or saying "I seen it," I'm picking my battles.

Dana, while moving someone's purse out of a chair might not be rude, I definitely think moving their lunch TO THE FLOOR without asking is!

I took yesterday as a sick day. A true sick day, rather than one where I work from home all day like last week.
Between my phone reminding me of most everything and autopay taking care of the bills, my masquerade as a responsible adult is far more successful than it otherwise would be.
I know, right?! Technology is the elaborate scaffolding I've put in place to prevent myself from failboating. People keep calling me organized, and I have to stop myself from telling people that I've bamboozled them.

I'm with Matt. Putting your purse on the floor doesn't twig me, but putting your LUNCH on the floor rather than your desk? That's strikes me as rude.

Exercised not giving a fuck today. Big software install, and I limited myself to the tasks assigned. Normally, I stick around to troubleshoot, but at my 8 hrs, with a 2 hr wait on someone else looming, went NOPE. You get what you pay for, get used to it, I'll let those with over 2.5 times my leave time carry the load.
I really need to go talk again to my division boss. Been avoiding it. Partly because I don't wanna know if not the news I want. Partly because I'm also really busy worming my way into projects that make my threat of leaving really really problematic. Upping my worth, etc.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That sounds so much better than "my adulthood is a long con".

That's fair - even if I moved something off a chair, I'd put lunch up on the desk.

IDK, Zen, "my adulthood is a long con" has a ring to it. But who is the mark? And what is the score?
