In my experience whenever a service tech is supposed to be at my house between x and y they don't show up more than 5 minutes before y.
Except for the one time out of seven they show up twenty minutes before x.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

This is true, unless I count on the fact that they won't be there much before y and am not quite dressed yet. In those cases they always show up at 5 minutes past x.

it's still normal to feel a stabby pain when he writes about things he's doing with his new girlfriend, right?
As Trudy said--totally normal. Emotions not about logic.
I. LOVE. HER.
Aww, yay, Kristin! That's awesome!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's not so bad, I got some quality unpacking done. I'm just preemptively annoyed at the notion that no one will show up in the next 20 minutes and I still won't be able to do laundry and I'll have to make another appointment. But I shouldn't assume that. Y'all are right, 7:55 is the rational time to pin my hopes on.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
my never-quite-enough-boyfriend-to-be-an-ex roommate is my bestest friend and I love him and I'm really happy for him that he had a whirlwind romance while on vacation in Hawaii and she's coming to visit over New Years and all the sudden there's a girl at work who likes him too but also I kinda miss when he was all broken hearted and melancholy 'cause we could have sex once in a while. And I am really excited to meet Hawaii girl 'cause she seems really cool but also I kinda want to poke her in the eye.
IOW yeah, totally normal.

Well, now I can be annoyed.
Bah.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Sox, if you could see the tick fairly easily it's most likely a harmless one. Max had a deer tick on him, and the only reason I saw it was it was a.) on his ear where the fur is small anyway and his fur is black, and b.) tick was white from enough time there. It was TINY, even in its engorged state.

man I do not understand my boss. She still doesn't understand how to close on the new system that we got at the beginning of October. I suggested maybe she could come back some night when I'm closing since she lives close. She is here right now watching a movie that she's already seen. Wouldn't this be the perfect time to learn how to close? gah!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I had a scheduled cable repair service last week between 10am and noon, and after calling to see if he could come early (the answer being "no," people are sleeping here) showed up at 10:15 and replaced our analog boxes with digital for no cost! It was the best service call ever. In spite of the dirty, muddy footprints all over the place after due to the rain. So, it can turn out well......
