Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm totally full of gronk, because of the fact that I can't stay up till 11 anymore! That's even lamer than not being able to drink, I say.

Also, I don't want to work. Luckily, the main task I have is totally on hold because no one will get back to me. Meh.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I take one Exedrin PM and sometimes an Ambien every night. Benedryl can make me jittery, so the secret for me is to take the Exedrin PM about 90 minutes before I go to bed. I do sleep well, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just paid around $115 to Ticketmaster for the privilege of two $44 tickets. Bastarggggghs.

Floyd Landis lost his doping case. They're stripping him of his Tour de France title.

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

How did TicketMaster manage to get this seeming monopoly?

Yikes.

I just got an email that was so outrageous, it made me laugh for a really long time. There's no way to properly describe it to you people, but it was kind of the equivalent of, "Hey you guys, why don't we just make February come AFTER March?"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

it was kind of the equivalent of, "Hey you guys, why don't we just make February come AFTER March?"

That's really kind of beautiful. At least, for those of us who don't have to deal directly with the person.

Yesterday I sent out an updated calendar announcement cancelling a 1 p.m. meeting, and got back one response declining my cancellation, with a note saying, "I'm terribly sorry, but I have another commitment at 1." I badly wanted to email her back and ask if it would work better for me to cancel a different meeting tomorrow so she could not come to that non-meeting instead, but I've actually (most unwisely) done that sort of thing before, and it never ends well.

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

Meeting scheduling continues to be my bane. People still want stuff, but they don't want to come and tell you what stuff. I need to escalate quicker, and play fast and loose with ccs more often.

Same at my last job--I'm assuming that either it's me, or it's, well, the world. That narrows it down some.

It really is kind of better when the wackos get so far over the top, all you can do is laugh.

Our wings are not tired

I had 4 G&Ts last night, and I feel like a zombie.

Did anyone else jump right to wondering why he would order yet another drink? Mmmmm...zombie.
