I do think something more like this [link] is probably more likely.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Those aren't that soft. For that money, you might as well get the first pair.
Okay, definitely not home early. Just got off the phone with co-worker and I think I'm waiting on an email before I can finish off this last task.
Or am I?

Those were mostly just on the same page as the others. And flat.

Punishingly Intricate
feh. I took like 40 minutes to write a long ass email to my boss detailing my asshole co-worker's behavior today and when I clicked Send I got logged out of our email system. This happened a couple of hours ago, I had to go run some errands, and I still want to cry about it.
Instead I will eat leftovers and watch What Not to Wear and not have a drink even though I really REALLY want one.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I should not have waited so long (almost five years) to have my eyes re-checked. I picked up my glasses with the new prescription today, and the difference is going to take a lot of getting used to. It's messing with my balance, and when I look around, I get the feeling I'm about six inches taller. Same thing when I'm driving -- my perception is that I am sitting higher. I'm not sure how that happens.
Steps down and curbs take extra thought and care. And the windows on my computer screen are no longer rectangles, they are definitely trapezoids.
No doubt my brain will adjust, but meanwhile this is just weird.

Ooh, yeah, sounds like more frequent checkups in your future, dcp!

...why not have a drink?
Am trying to decide what to wear tonight--am going dancing, and it's leather night, so good excuse to wear the leather corset. OTOH, was going to a join a friend and her coworkers at another bar afterward, and leather corset (even w/jeans) is probably overkill. Hrm. I suppose I could change.

Ugh. Sucks.
Don't fall over, dcp!

Art Crawl!!!
I am so smart - that at the beginning of the week I ventured down to the basement in the other building and turned off my big heater. (I am attempting to avoid paying for this winter's heat for the rest of the year.) Now, of course, I am freezing. . . and I have a cold. Although, I don't believe that those two things are necessariy related.
I am also watching the season 1 marathon of Jericho on Sciffy and feeling a little sad.
(Rock Monster, however, looks like a Scifi CLASSIC.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
dcp, give the new glasses a chance, but if it persists through the weekend, it may be that they screwed up and gave you the wrong prescription! I know somebody that happened to, and instead they struggled along with lousy glasses for two months....
A lot of vision actually happens inside the brain. Did you know that the images that your corneas cast on the back of the eyeball are actually upside down?
