I am watching my Felicity DVDs, because I am a girl-man.

Next, I will bring out the My So-Called Life discs, and you will each wonder things which are best left un-wondered.

I distinctly recall thinking "I am over teen angst. Give me something new."

How's that working out for you?

Unrelatedly, I woke up in a work mini-anxiety attack, because it occurred to me how nonsensical people were on the project yesterday, and how not-there I was. But, hey, if I can't take a sick day on Saturday, when can I? Still, I'm up not to send e-mails and schedule meetings to discuss.

Here's hoping everyone got to sleep eventually...

I am feeling super smug right now. As you probably know, I am extremely lazy. In school, I'd generally rather get a decent grade that I don't work that hard for, than a stellar grade I have to bust my ass to get. Last night, I was on the phone with a perfectionist friend, and she was angsting over getting a "good-not-great" comment on a paper she still got a good grade on. I just got mine back, and mine was "excellent"! Woo.

Why were you working yesterday, ita? That doesn't seem right.

Well, I wasn't working as hard as I was supposed to.

However, and I say this in irritation and no little sleep dep -- [edited to remove work rant]

I'm so irritated with having to be den mother to people for whom I have no actual responsibility. They are not even in my department. It's frustrating, and what I was doing inbetween EEG and PT on Friday, and I really thought I'd proactively covered the span of them being flaky.

I'm pissed because this project is a big deal for their department, for the customer department, and finally for the company. And they just won't be sensible about it. And I suspect they aren't having "no initiative" talks with their managers.

Which reminds me, I should rat this one guy out to his boss.

And who knows how much of this post I'll leave standing. I'm just so mad right now (with concomitant headache). It's insane.

And I'm supposed to be the lazy one.

Which segues right into woo-hoo on your paper!

Good lord, that does sound irritating. Totally rat the one guy out.

Oh, ita, how irritating! I was coming here to whine, but now I've lost all my whinyness on behalf on being angry for you.

Which, here too, goes to woo-hooing Jesse.

[Edit: and saying hello to the new thread, just under 1kb of posts numbers.]

Okay, I calmed down mid-ratting out to check my voice mail and assure there isn't a reasonable explanation waiting on it for me.

There's not.

Back to e-mail...

You know, ita, I heard there was a jackhole award being organized on lj.... Maybe you need to nominate someone?

Hey Nilly! Whyfore whiny?

There's not.

Hey, *I* am still angry on your behalf.

Whyfore whiny?

t whine The computer that was supposed to be fixed last week (after keeping up with freezing on me, making me lose weeks of data and results), works now slower than it used to, lost a directory which I can hardly work without, and all the (little that it had) Hebrew fonts, so I can't even read e-mails from students. On top of that, the people who were supposed to deliver the stove postponed the delivery from a week (like it says on their website) to two weeks, so we won't be able to cook anything until Friday, at least. And I didn't even finish half the grading I had to finish for last week t /whine t /for now, at least
