Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday Kat! I hope today is the day you need and want it to be.
Awww, Dylan is so cute! Which is no surprise at all, actually.
Today is "Talk about your career plans!" meeting day with the boss. I'm supposed to answer questions like What have I done that I enjoy doing? What do I want to do more of? What do I want to learn about? Where do I see myself in 3/5/10 years?
Ugh. There is no way I can answer those honestly, because honest answers would be ones like "I've spent a lot of time on the Web while getting paid. I like that, and I'd like to do more of it."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am so steamed at my migraine specialist. He just sent a snippy email to my GP painting me a difficult patient. Well, maybe he should do something to reduce my headaches. I promise to...wait, I didn't do any of the bad things he said I did. So I'm not sure what I would change.
I don't understand why it's such a fight to find a doctor or two who are chill.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yup, that's the kitty we were talking about last night. Different article, though.
Eh, I should've known some Buffistas would have gotten to it before me!
ita, I hope you find a good doctor soon.

Reading the email just set off a migraine and stomped on my mood. Must use biofeedback.

Ugh, ita. That is so not what you need right now!
I'm all jacked from a combination of extra coffee this morning and work stuff, and I can't concentrate for shit.

Tech support nightmares:
"Hi, we cobbled together an intricate system that explicitly does what your software is not designed to do, and our entire corporate structure is based on this system remaining intact. We'd like to upgrade to the newest version of your software, but it's not recognizing our intricate system. What did you do wrong with your new software?"
"Actually, what you set up is not supported by our software. We're amazed you got it to work. The new version is going to move things all around on you if you go through the standard upgrade."
"Oh . . . yes, we noticed everything getting moved around, we need you to undo that and put it back the way it was and upgrade us properly."
"Upgrading you properly means completely redesigning your network. WE don't support what you did."
"That's unacceptable." (amazing how they think that phrase is so powerful). "We want it put back and upgraded the way we want."
"We don't support that."
"That's unacceptable."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yeah, she's a total mess. She's the UK singing Lohan-equivalent.
But Winehouse is talented. I mean, I'm not on board with her offstage life but DAMN is she good.
I just came back from sushi with a Japanese colleague. While there he pointed out a Japanese newspaper (as in the country, not just the language) and guess what was the big front story, with a huge 72 pt headline? Lohan's mugshot. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. She hasn't made a good movie since Mean Girls!
