I have that book too! It's pretty good, though not phenomenal. Interesting, though.

Lives of the Monster Dogs

Disappointed me but now I don't remember why. I expected it to be a lot better than it was.

Oh, thank god. I don't have to flip out and quit my job now.

I just need to document in case this crap ever happens again. That, I can do.

yay scrappy!

This is what I started doing this week, for work. Which is good, because it has been CRAZY. Unfortunately, in 3 days, I have 19 items and only 7.5 crossed off. But that's the crazy.

The idea isn't always to worry about how many you get crossed off. It's really to free up the brain space that is spent picking at you, reminding you to do X thing all the time.

My lists aren't organized at all except by date. Then on occasion, I go back and I read through and see what I have done and haven't.

Huh. For the first time in my life, I just got an email from somebody I graduated high school with. Haven't talked to her since graduation. She's asking me if I'm going to our 25th reunion this year.

Huh. I had a crush on her back in 9th grade. That was 28 years ago....

well, she emailed you, that means that you meant something to her. And it will probably be one of those situations where you confess your former crush, and she says "I liked you too! I wish you'd asked me out"

And then you want to kill something and spend the rest of the evening drinking moodily at the (cash) bar.

Hmmm... in the 9th grade she used to pick on me. Maybe she did have a crush on me....

Oh yeah, we went to grade school together. When I was in 2nd grade, I considered her one of my three girlfriends. (Don't remember what that was all about.) And when I was in third grade, I got a cow and named it after her. (She was not impressed.)

Do you speak from experience?

So far I've avoided going to all my reunions.

And when I was in third grade, I got a cow and named it after her. (She was not impressed.)

Hah! My great-grandfather named his cows (er...cattle?...wait? what's the difference?) after his daughters. It pissed them off!

Yeah, I was mostly bemoaning the crazy which has visited. Most weeks have not been this nuts. Frankly, I'd be twitching in a ball right now if I hadn't started up this week. I'm pretty close as it is.

I used to do this back in college. I still have the old notebooks somewhere, which can be interesting (though often deadly dull) to revisit.
