No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I move that we label this day "crappy". All in favor?

Well, things could always take a bad turn but I had the most delicious oatmeal (w/ almonds, dried cranberries, and brown sugar) plus olive bread toast w/ avocado this morning. Plus, I'm taking off for the rest of the week (to see my new nephew in NC!!!) so this is like a Friday for me.

So, I'd rather not label my day "crappy" as it's done nothing to deserve that title.

Although I'm now a little afraid I've jinxed myself!

Okay! In addition to my left hand being out of commission due to hot coffee, I have been alerted that I may be asked to be a bridesmaid for the wedding I am missing VividCon for.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have been alerted that I may be asked to be a bridesmaid for the wedding I am missing VividCon for.

If you've got to miss Vividcon (which I am not at all resigned to, and I am working on a time-turner to resolve this issue), you might as well be part of the wedding? Not if you have to spend a lot of money on a crappy dress, though.

Happy birthday, msbelle! I always kind of enjoy the stealth birthdays when no one at work knows. I just like secrets, I guess.

I have been alerted that I may be asked to be a bridesmaid for the wedding I am missing VividCon for.

I'd ask if that makes it better or worse, but from the context, I'm going to guess worst. Does the bride have good taste?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday msbelle!

I'm sorry for the crappy days, other people.

I am drinking my first cup of coffee from my new french press. I think I am unimpressed, so far.

Happy birthday, msbelle!

Today is just the latest crap-work day in a series of crap work days. I have had at least 2 coworkers out since the holidays ended and at one point only one other coworker and I were here.

I hate having to reschedule people, figure out what is going on with their cases from incomplete files, and deal with dropped communication.

The good news-I have another job prospect! I'm really nervous about this one though because it comes through a friend who is a headhunter for creative firms. I won't be terribly upset if I don't get the job (though it does look like a great place to work). I just don't want to disappoint or reflect badly on her.

Can you actually make a decision before the caffeine has hit, even if it is over the coffee itself? It's something of a tangle.

Happy Birthday, msbelle! Mac is too cute.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I know I'm asking for a smiting by even saying this, but I would pay good money to see Shrift in a bridesmaid dress.

Especially since my annoying cow-worker who works out loud is now singing "Loving you.... is easy cause you're beautiful....." over and over again.

I think that would be a justifiable homicide.
