Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hec! Your wife is falling down on the job!

The guy over the cube wall from me makes the most fascinating not-work phone calls. I completely can't concentrate. And people keep stopping by and having non-work-related convos with him too. My productivity is taking a hit.

Of course, the headache doesn't help. I can't believe I'm going to run out of the good meds before the funeral, and then have a weekend where I can't go to the ER to boot. I need to work out how to attack next week. I need to work out how to attack tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think I've aimlessly slugged around like this since before I met Hec.

Then I say it's past time, and you deserve it! Sometimes you need a day off from everything.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

my noodle is either getting sick, having a growth spurt, or really upset about something. He is presenting as tired, but slept a full night last night and did nothing out of teh ordinary today.

Here's hoping it's the middle one.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe I'm having a growth spurt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Growth spurts make you tired? I had a big growth spurt when I was around 12 or 13. I didn't notice anything besides a little clumsiness and it seemed like I never had clothes that fit.

eta: Come to think of it, I did have a homeroom teacher in 9th grade who told my mom I always appeared tired. At the time I strongly disagreed with her.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

A Pew Research Quiz:

I got the Iran-Israel border one wrong (seriously, my lack of knowledge about geography is huge and legendary), and the troops in Afghanistan one wrong.

This one amused me:

Do you happen to know who Glenn Beck is?

only because I felt that the correct answer wasn't an option (the motherfucking devil).

I couldn't picture Iran in relation to Israel in my head, but I figured if they bordered, I would have heard about it. (i.e. it would be mentioned in articles about the two countries.)

It looks like there's a Burn Notice marathon on tomorrow. Should I watch it?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

11 of 12. I whiffed the Afghanistan one. I'm a little disturbed that overall men scored well higher than women (on every question except health expenditures. Weird.

I am so pleased with myself that I have things ready to submit my dependent care reimburseable tomorrow to empty out my account.

I got new glasses today to cash out some of my FSA. Not expensive enough! I was all "isn't there a premium coating you can put on those mofos? Lasers? Nothing?" Feh. Need to make another drugstore.com order tonight I guess. Anyone want some Advil?
