Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I like my job, but I kind of hate the people I work for.

My boss just informed me on Wednesday that I'm being given a journal that's somewhat wacky in the way that it runs, and I take it over on ... Monday. Neither the departing editor, who promised me details, nor my boss have given me any information about this thing. ZERO info. What the hell do they expect me to do? Frankly, I think both of them assumed the other would do the transition, and as usual didn't communicate. I also suspect that my boss actually doesn't know any of the stuff she needs to be imparting to me. Duck. Shot.

“Not dead yet!”

Happy late birthday, sara!

Happy Birthday, Sox!

Happy early birthday, Dillo.

And happy early birthday to my sweet (occasionally exasperating boy) Nate, who turns thirteen tomorrow! Eek!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm feeling tired (I guess from the blood donation), and not at all in the mood for an hour on the train to go to Brooklyn. But I want to see my friend! Crap. I guess the train ride will be additional resting....

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Woot! My dad may have a strong lead on a new old job. He must have gotten five emails/phonecalls from friends and former colleagues telling him about a tech writer position, and they're all raving about how they still use his manuals and he already knows the job and the tools, and the cranky person who was denying him re-entry is now gone.

My mother and brother will be so happy to see him employed again. Apparently he's driving them bonkers floundering around the house, being noodgy and pinching pennies tighter than usual (he was a Scrooge even when gainfully employed).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy birthday Sox!

It's nice to hear good news on the employment front, Juliebird.

OK, my friend just called to confirm because her other friend bailed. I'll go, I'll go!

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

So if my brake pad light went on just as I was getting to work this morning, and the first place I called for an appointment can't take me until Thursday (because they are supposed to be the best around), it's okay to wait until then to take it in, right? I won't die in a fiery brakeless death before then?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Do your brakes feel any different?
