Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, I just cleared hundreds of emails out of my personal email inbox. Anything that's in my inbox that's more than a month or so old lives on because of silly sentimentalism. I refuse to give in sufficiently to make a folder just for that, so there they stay.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It's one thing to have a working knowledge of a project-- my job is having encyclopedic knowledge about case facts. But the reason why I recommend the Getting Things Done book is because of one experience I had with it-- he suggests getting out a piece of paper and writing down every single outstanding task you have, personal or professional, short or long term, just everything where you think "I need to remember to do that." The night I did that my brain completely cleared. It was amazing and energizing. I felt like a fog of vague stress had lifted.

I'm admittedly a slacker at keeping up with writing down all my tasks and next actions and whatnot, but I am a believer in how clarifying it can be to have that done.

I also have all my emails filed by project and I review everything sent and received over the past week on Monday nights. I just wish outlook worked as well as gmail at indexing so it wasn't such a pain in the ass to search for.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, that's interesting. I wonder if that would actually work for me. I have a vague feeling it would stress me out.

Thinking about it right now vaguely stresses me out, which is something I should probably deal with.

After the massage, though. I refuse to attempt anything other than the simplest self-feeding and grooming tasks before accomplishing massage.

Punishingly Intricate

I refuse to attempt anything other than the simplest self-feeding and grooming tasks before accomplishing massage.

That is a totally good idea. I'd do the same except unfortunately my next massage isn't until 2:30 on March 25. At least I have one scheduled, though.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm going to be on vacation in less than 5 hours.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Are you going to be in Seattle, Lee? Can you still look for the shirt I want?

I simultaneously have vacation envy and vacation fear! This sounds really weird, but I hope to stay at work at least until May. I have the perfect excuse for an extended vacation, but honestly, I so don't want one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey, I found this website that hasn't updated their system time to DST yet. Anyone heard of it? It's called yahoo.com
