So, I am not doing as well as I thought on mac's first day back. Kinda fighting of an anxiety attack of my own. Flailing with the things I need to do on the personal side of my life, can't seem to start anything, no idea where to get going. The work stuff is not better, I keep picking things up starting on them, then freaking out on what to do next or jumping to something else unrelated. No more caffeine for me, that is for sure, maybe some peppermint tea, that is calming, yes?
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Chamomile, msbelle.
Definitely steer clear of the Diet Coke, msbelle. Here's hoping things improve!
ION, the strangest method of drinking water ever.
I'm in a bit of a life flail myself. Yesterday I treated it by going to a job search workshop, with only medium-successful results. SIGH.
I was gone five days. My husband ate all the cookies and chocolate in the house, and none of the actual FOOD.
Aaand we're back in business: [link]
It’s a Battlestar Galactica Cake. Happy Frakkin’ Birthday. - Geeky Cake of the Week
Laura hired chef Archana Rao at Love Street Cakes (”where cake dreams come true!”*) to craft this BSG cake for the birthday of Laura’s husband, a “big BSG fan” sadly-accustomed to verbal abuse on special occasions by way of made-up sci-fi curse words.
...
Rao covered a lemon cake with raspberry preserves and “(extra) vanilla frosting.” Because it is well-known that the skinjobs hate the taste of vanilla, and WE CAN’T HAVE ANY SKINJOBS EATING OUR FRAKKIN’ CAKE.
I just accepted to a 6:30pm meeting tonight.
did you not see the "hell no" response option?
That meeting better have cocktails!
msbelle, sorry today is hard. calming thoughts for you.
We always started school after Labor Day and went to June, including undergrad college. My b'day at the end of August always marked the last big fun Summer thing for me. The first time I had work on my birthday was a real shock to my system.
Am trying to be grateful for what I've got (which is A LOT, I'm very lucky) but I'm having a hard time not resenting boyfriend's job for bringing him back to the midwest for another almost full week next week after he was just there for whole full week. It's a great job and they've been very accommodating and I really shouldn't complain but WAH!
