Okay, I can't take it. Leaving now. Happy weekend and Easter to those that celebrate it!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I know it's CA law (and new york) to have places to pump that aren't the bathroom, but I'll tell you that schools do not have such available space, which is probably one of many reasons I stopped.
Bookcases are almost installed in the house. It required two trips to get them and I had an irksome restaurant run-in.
New glasses (3 pairs, including one set of shades) have arrived. While I love the frugality of Zenni (three of my 4 new pair cost a quarter what the 4th cost all because they were Zenni glasses) the frames aren't as nice. The other pair I picked up from the optometrist (can someone please explain the dif between an optometrist and an opthomalogist?) are Gucci and are lovely but wickedly expensive and I think, when they adjusted them, they may have bent the frames enough that the lens isn't sitting flush.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It shouldn't be seen as a sign of laziness or evasiveness, though.
No, it really shouldn't -- the amount of schedule flexibility is as much a part of the job as, say, the amount of travel expected. Everyone has those days of needing to stay home waiting for the plumber to show up, and it's reasonable to want to know if you'll be getting things done and calling in to meetings, or counting those against your vacation time.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Or single people with children, or with elderly family in or out of town, or special needs pets, people with medical conditions whether temporary or permanent.
Today, with the move most people were working from home and probably more productive than those of us who showed.

oh man I not only couldn't leave early but I just was yelled by my fucking rude ass co-worker for not intuiting that the developer who is helping us with this document needed more work to do.
On 5pm on a Friday!
I am spitting mad right now. Should I tattle on him to our boss (a few weeks ago I had a meeting about this guy with boss, about how rude he is).
I'm shaking angry.

I would tattle, but I'm like that.

Since it's been enough of an issue that you've met with your boss about it before, it needs to be mentioned.

Agreed -- it's not tattling, it's documentation of a known issue.

the hard thing is that he's such a bad communicator I can't even relate the conversation accurately. So not what I want to deal with today AT ALL
