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

I'm watching Crazy Ex Girlfriend, in the second episode now, and (a) I really like it and (b) I totally know where that strawberry donut from around the corner came from.

Okay, I have booked my Christmas travel and found a promo code to save money on a taxi to SFO on Wednesday because my flight is at 6:40am. UGH, why did I do that to myself?

At least I'm planning to work from home tomorrow, so I should be able to do laundry and pack and get in bed as early as possible without a long commute.

Shrift I hear your pain--my options tend to either be "leave at 6am" or "get to Indiana at midnight". This year I went for the midnight option because it goes through Phoenix, so less chance of O'Hare snow issues.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, we return Saturday at 1:05AM. Well, Sunday morning.

Yeah, I'm sure my other options involved arriving after midnight. I'm connecting through Minneapolis on the way there and Houston on the way back.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm looking at the information for a new medication I'm starting. It says that, if I experience a loss of blood pressure or pulse, I should get emergency help immediately. I think I could have figured that one out, though I'm puzzled as to how, exactly, that's supposed to work.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Forty-five minutes later, a kitchen guy showed up, who stared at the meatballs and said "Wow, just wow" repeatedly.

I'm sorry but this made me laugh.

If you experience a LOSS of blood pressure or pulse? Like, not just low BP or pulse, but GONE? Yeah, that's an ER trip. Or a morgue one. Wtf.

I don't want to work tomorrow. I'm working with people who don't want to get shit done, and I only come here every six weeks or so and every time they're all "yea, working on that, have it for you next time" and the next time they maybe have one of five things done, and now it's been MONTHS that shit should've been done and I just want to yell at them and I can't. But if they don't do their job I can't do mine and it makes me crazy.
