There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I forgot to take my BP meds yesterday morning, which explains why I was feeling flushed in the afternoon and why I got about 3 hours of sleep last night. Hence zombification today. Cross your fingers for me that i don't mutter "braaaaainsss" while on the phone with my boss today!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's sad is that I was convinced our Summer Fridays mean we leave at 2, but a coworker said no, it's 1. I'm pretty sure I mostly left at 2, which is a pathetic version of the best of both worlds: still get to leave early, feel virtuous for staying later than necessary.

Jess they totally owe you those hours as either comp time or OT. I say leave early today to use some of those up

Wait, who is #3 now?

I actually love the DHL@home thing because I almost always live outside the regular range of most carriers and also the US postal system. Which means that I almost always have a PO box. So being able to ship normal things to the box is extremely helpful.

I also have horror stories from all the major carriers (I chalk it up to basic racism) so I have no horse in that race.

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

I don't even believe summer Fridays exist.

STILL no word on belt test. One email from the instructor who's supposed to be announcing it, but it was a mass email, unrelated. And one hangup call.

I actually wish I were at work, because then I'd have easy distraction.

Instead, let me go watch some more Life on Mars.

Ha! Fridays are especially rough, since my boss works from home most Fridays, and today her boss isn't in, either.

My 10-4s was the best schedule evah. Gave me two extra hours each day that nobody else was in to hassle me, and then suddenly, three day weekends. Every single week.

Okay, admittedly now I totally set my own schedule, which is probably better. But given that I am not tops at time management, not necessarily.

Dude! I'm saying.... even they know that they owe you the hours and can't face you on Fridays from the guilt

Bwah! Way to aim high, team! Hehehe.

Although in your industry, I could see how tackling the top two might appear pretty formidable.
