Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I did not understand why it was dark this morning when my alarm went off.

We went up to NYC this weekend and had a great time but the staying up late and loss of an hour of sleep pretty much wrecked us all for this Monday morning. Gronk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's a thing I don't understand, and I think I don't understand it because of class: Multiple people at my job quit in the spring because they are going to grad school in the fall. How do they live in between???

Coding and Sleeping

Ugh. Terrible Monday. This will be the second day this year I've taken off work just because so much crap has come up, I won't have time to work.

Ugh, guys, I try so hard not to take frustrations out on CS reps on the phone, but I just snapped at one and hung up, because in response to my comment that this FSA has been more difficult to deal with than any other I've ever been a part of, she said "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

How do they live in between???

I share your confusion there. I worked up to the fall when I started grad school, but then I had at some point taken 3 months off work to travel to China, so there's that. Young people! So free!

Dana, sounds like the call was done anyway? I mean, I pretty much always just say no and hang up at that point, even if everything is going well. I don't need to keep chatting.

What? That sounds amazing! I would like to hear more.

Well, the call was done in the sense that she was totally unhelpful.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

How do they live in between???

I don't know. Unless they are going to grad school somewhere else and need to move and find a new job there?

I am not into today. I decided to pick up a pie to share with my coworkers (because Pi Day but I did not bake this weekend) so I also picked up breakfast (Nation's Burgers has pie and breakfast as well as burgers) so I was sick-to-my-stomach with hunger by the time I got to work and didn't order exactly what I wanted and didn't pick up butter to go on the pancakes and everything is already cold. And I have to work! Bah.

If we have to do this Daylight Savings bs (and I don't think we do, personally), we should at least wait until after the equinox. Shifting around daylight when it is less than half the day is ridic.

Ugh, Dana. So, hanging up instead of saying "anything else? You didn't help me with this!"
