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.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I just got hung up on by Verizon. grrr. I called - on my cell - to let them know that the repair that was supposed to have been completed Saturday wasn't done and the landline phone is still not working. The CSR was snide from the minute he got on the line. He scheduled another appt for tomorrow and I started to give him directions for the guy to my actual location because my mailing address would get him lost, and he interrupted me to ask for my cell number, which I gave him, and he said the guy would call me if he got lost, and I started to say please just give him these directions (which I know they can do because I did it Saturday) and I heard a click and HE HUNG UP ON ME. I was totally polite to this guy! OMG I did not need this today. I'm already about to succumb to despair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG why is it only Tuesday? I have got to get my act together work-wise, because I am seriously just a waste of space right now.

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

I feel I'm taxing my brain to the limits, yet where is the fruit of my labour?

My plans for today involve putting out all the little fires on this project for the day, doing the edits in the template document, going to the gym and installing Ubuntu on my new cheapo PC.

Bets, anyone, as to where exactly I fall short?

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

Seriously.

Such a pity that, what with the guy being an openly Gay man, he and Victoria Bitters will miss the opportunity to meet and fall madly in love.

Emphasis on the madly.

At least I'm out of the office two days next week, but next week seems so very far away!

Is LJ down for anyone else?

I can't get in, and it's making today even slower.

Funny thing I learned today: I am not nearly as assertive as I need to be.
