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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

You see lack of dedication and shortcomings, I see wacko lady driven beyond good sense.

I am very much Sue.

I'm 100% fine with not being elite in anything. Much less anything athletic. I look at my CEO who is often in three different states over the course of a week, and I just know that I could never handle that kind of life, and I'm totally fine with that!

And I am also very much Jesse. I just told my boss "I am not ambitious about my professional life." it was right after I said "the things that are making me upset are not fixable and what I need is to not work here anymore." oops.

We are having lazy Saturday, but mac has hit the end of his tv shows and wants to be entertained. too bad for him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just told my boss "I am not ambitious about my professional life."

I almost told my boss I'm not ambitious about my current job just last week! Although I am slightly ambitious about my next job....

for me it clearly goes beyond one job to the next. I never want to be top dog with regard to responsibility and expectations.

That's fair. I mean, shit, there have to be a zillion people who aren't top dog, so why not you?

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

I love krav that much. I just don't have those depths to pull from.

Professionally I just want to do the things I like and get paid more than cozily for it. My ranking relative to other people only matters in passing, in shallow moments.

OK, acupuncture done. I just gotta try to not cry again before therapy. Best Buy and Sephora-what are the odds?

Sephora and Best Buy have both made me cry in the past.

Art Crawl!!!

Checking my email and it's like spamapalooza - what is up with that?

Ahrg. I was supposed to pick up another special food for Dev after worrk. I forgot until 2 pm today. The vet's closes at 2. I've pretty much wasted most of today. Bleah.

Jesus. Someone died during the Olympics marathon trials this morning. I hate those stories -- a girl I knew in college had a boyfriend who dropped dead while running.
