Buffistas

Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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 know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

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.

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

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.

I really hope they use that footage on the show. I'd kill to see SC's face when he sees it.
