Also, I did realize a couple of things I needed while I was there, but I really did need those things.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Ooooooh. Totally evil.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm very happy that the Container Store is very far from me. I have bought only one thing there, I think.
I seem to have discovered an attitude problem. A personality was clashing with mine, trying to insist things didn't have to be done by the book because he knew better. After a bit of "look, process is here for a reason--how much trouble were we in without it?" I just said "You know, experience trumps paperwork--we'll go straight ahead and do it your way despite the published process. Tell me exactly what you want me to do."
He backed right off and said I should contact the process owner. It's what I figured would happen if I looked like I was going to charge forward with his name on the banner.
Hmmph.
Now I just have to wrestle an impossible project plan (JUNE 2007??? ARE YOU INSANE) into submission, and maybe my weekend can start.

I need to remember your strategy, ita. It's a great one.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I need my weekend. Where is my weekend? Instead, I am just sitting here at my desk, and not getting jack done. I think I need to break things down into smaller tasks. Or maybe go play with the dog and watch HGTV for a while. I dunno.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Because I'm not a nice person (the attitude problem referenced above was mine) I'm considering contacting the process owner by saying "Soandso says we don't need to follow your procedure--can you verify that before we go ahead?"
But he's not answering his phone right now, so that deed remains undone.
Man, I want to go home. I have stuff planned for tonight, Saturday night and Sunday night, and I need as much nap time as possible inbetween. And I've taken Monday off too, since I don't want to pretend I have recuperative powers or anything. I just hope I make it through everything I've planned for.

nap time is key, ita. I haven't been sleeping well, so last night I went to bed at 8:30. Well, "went to bed" as in fell asleep in Franny's bed while I was tucking her in. Oops.
