Timelies all!
Got back from OVFF today. Am tired. Had fun.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I just had smoked salmon and cream cheese with scallions and tomatoes on rye toast for dinner. YUM. Why did I have it ? because I can't cook for the staff party at the library tomorrow( I am germ woman) , so that's what I decided to bring. and then I said hmmm... that would make a good no fuss dinner

Fuck me. Devi started having the shits again. 3 days after the meds ended. Have to call the vet first thing and see if they want to restart the fucking flagyl (reglan was for the puking.)
Oh & I have to make a meeting at 9:30 where I get to be a moron again.
You know, I'm ok with learning on the job. I've been ok with taking the initiative. I just wish someone gave me some fucking direction, or a crash course or SOMETHING. Instead it's basically " you should know this." Fuck, no one TOLD me anything, how the hell should I know? And why are you surprised I don't? I'm expected to know how to do new job with virtually no guidance. It's pissing me off and my rope getting shorter.

I think I'm having a bad day.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, sarameg. I'm sorry. That all sounds just lousy.
I'm a big fan of any kind of pouch-like food: pierogis, knishes, dumplings, wontons, Hot Pockets -- you name it.
I am Steph. I love all those things beyond reasonableness. Ooh, and I can make pierogis myself. Which I do in large, large batches which I freeze, because damn they are a lot of work. Not as much work as potstickers, but still. But then I can put whatever I want in them. Potatoes and cheese, ricotta, apple, peach. Nom nom nom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Verizon guy is gay? I'm not sure why I feel pleased to know that. Probably because it's none of my damned business.
Ugh, sara. You're dealing with illness and a new job. That's a lot of stress. In a month you'll meet Kat's noodles! Gotta have a focus.

I can't wait for the noodles! Really looking forward to them in my arms. It'd just be better if I wasn't worried about having to board Dev at short notice with meds and I wasn't pissed about the job. Sigh. I guess I'll ask the vet about boarding for Dev tomorrow too. Just in case. Better to have to cancel that than be fucked.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
And this is so random, but have I mentioned here that my friend's coworker is apparently dating the Verizon ad guy? He picked him up in a bar having no idea who he was.
Your friend's coworker is a very fortunate man. Or, possibly, Amish.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't find my pliers and I'm disproportionately bothered by this. But without the pliers I can't disconnect the cable input from the non-functioning HD TiVo (probably Time Warner's fault--they have a 50% hit rate with cable card reliability) and connect it to the old TiVo so I can watch Heroes and Journeyman. Now, I do have cable plugged straight into the TV, so I can watch them, but I'd have to do it in real time and everything.
So it's a very first world reason that's threatening to make my headache worse.
When you factor in that the last time I remember using the pliers was to pull the cork out of a tequila bottle from the freezer (but FUCK was that some good tequila), it's even worse.
My apartment is a mess and I feel like a slob and I have no migraine meds AND I HAVE NO TIVO.
