I go with the nasty bleaching chemicals for mildew. eta: this is probably horrible for our fragile water table so I should find a better way. Right now the mildew is enjoying my neglect.

They were talking about the primary and many older voters not voting in the Democratic primary because they are mad about it not counting. Yeah, that will be helpful. They are still going to the polls because of the tax amendment.

I've had decent success with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on both tile (great on shiny tile) and grout (which is usually the bigger problem.) I do bleach occasionally, and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser in between bleachings.

mac is officially in a behavior backslide. Not uncommon around the 1 year mark in adoptions. He acted out at afterschool yesterday (took a marker to another child's face, then his own) and was a pill this morning to me (not minding, not answering, walking away repeatedly). Apparently I am mean to him and nice to everyone else, also, I am going to die. Anyhoo - onwards and upwards.

Work is a bit wound up this morning - apparently someone gave a temp their log in and password - unsurprising IT security head is not pleased.

Hey, we're all going to die.

Am I crazy to find it incredibly disheartening that my boss really doesn't know what my last name is? I guess I have to tell her explicitly, and not rely on the dozens of emails and etc. I send her every day. For the past year and a half.

I did just send my resume to a recruiter.....

We're getting a crazy winter storm apocalypse here today - made crazier but the 40+ degree weather this morning.

Yikes.

So excited by the Farscape news.

Good god. The temp here is supposed to go from 46 to 2 today.

Jesse, some people are really just boneheads about things like that. But it's got to be discouraging. Feh.

My friend in NYC is going to see Patrick Stewart in Macbeth in March. I hate her!

Farscape news is good news!

That would drive me crazy.

I thought I had sarameg's phone number so I could call and re-offer a ride this morning but I didn't and now I feel bad because she had to walk in the icy rain.

And I was having travel + work anxiety dreams this morning. I dreamt I had to share a shower (er...not shower at the same time...use the shower after) my cranky, annoying co-worker and he'd used my towel and left the room a damp mess! ew! Plus I had 40 minutes before my plane was to leave and i had to go back to my house from the airport to take care of my pets before returning to the airport for my flight. And I was flying to FL to give a presentation I hadn't practiced AT ALL.

It's been a very stressful day already!

Ooh, I might go to that! Apparently my friend's sister has first dibs, but if she can't go, I'm totally in.

Yikes!
