not your mom's socks.

Everything I have to do is preparing environments for people, but they are so skittish about telling me what they need, yet eager to complain they haven't gotten it.

it is the mindreading that is giving you the migraines. You must file an OSHA report immediately. And for workers' comp.

I was so tired this morning that my eyelid was twitching. Bizarre.

this is me, about 1/3 of the time.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That Screamers hat is adorable!

Warning: This trick? Some kids never grow tired of it. But trust me, you will.

ita, are you going in at all today? You poor woman. I think the two hours in thing instead of just work from home is bullshit.

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

Timelies all!

Discovered I had a bill due the 15th. Oops. I hope I don't get too badly dinged for it.(it's going out in tomorrow's mail)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, I hate that! Usually I can understand why I'm so tired. Today, NSM.

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

I kind of feel like that.

I can't go in. I just can't. I have to be in and clear-headed early Wednesday morning, and it'd be best if I were in tomorrow so I'd be ready for Wednesday morning, so I'm not even killing myself to get in today. Even though I have no sick time or vacation time and just plain won't get paid for today, it's not like I can in good conscience actually not work.

I'm probably doing more work than most people, since it's the departmental holiday lunch. Which is different from the departmental holiday party which I also hope to avoid one way or another. Since I can't keep food down, why bother show up to work for it anyway?

That all just sounds miserable, ita.

Less miserable, my poor minion got the one super crappy gag gift at the work gift exchange. Luckily, she's a pretty pessimistic person, so wasn't altogether surprised to get screwed out of a gift, AND I had left an actual present on her desk for her to get after the lunch. So she felt OK, but I still felt bad for her!

Our wings are not tired

Jesus. I just had someone ask me if I'll make a previously given deadline despite her slipping with the pre-requisite by two weeks. But I guess if you're a project manager who has no issue with admitting you have neither a project plan nor a list of milestones with approximate dates, why would you get the idea of a critical path?

I'm too young, old, and underpaid for this. This is not the week.
