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

Okay, Mr. Amaretto has helped me calm down. My boss needs me, and her boss likes me, and I'm not gonna get fired. Probably.

I think ZK shall be my street name. As if I needed one.

You people with your dang nail polish! Now I'm on the Nubar website, loading the cart with pretty colors. It was the peacock that did me in. I don't even wear nail polish most of the time!

This one. It's much prettier on - I almost bailed on it the last moment and picked a new color but it was gorgeous. [link]

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

Could someone please explain to me why the developer made me print out the Excel spreadsheet so he can fill it out on paper? And then give it back to me?

One of us is crazy, and for once it doesn't feel like me.

So I bailed on work early, went to the pool, and decided it was so nice out, hauled bistro set back out on deck (had it inside for the winter) and ate my dinner out here. In the sun. In (long) shirtsleeves. With the cats exploring and chattering and I only had to haul Devi off the rail once, and Mister Kitty wants my lap for some reason.

All hail spring (in 3 days 19 hours and 46 minutes.)

Community meeting tonight. I have to psyche myself up to go to these things, but I figure if I'm going to be the crank in email, need to show my face as well.

“Not dead yet!”

I finally gave up, put the inside pants back on (Dia de los Muertos Nick & Nora jammy pants) and crawled back into bed.

With any luck there will be either ice cream or cookies later.

Maybe both.

These all sound good to me right now.

The status is NOT quo.

Megan, I'm sorry to hear about the job. Those polar bears!

Damned polar bears.

I don't know if I would go so far as polar bear. I mean, it's not like I haven't been negative about things, but the fact that the concern came from people that don't really know me or my work, or why I might have reason to be negative is the frustrating thing. Much of this seems to be based on impressions gathered in the kitchen we share.

One reason I want to work in this group is they care about things like the group dynamic, so I shouldn't be surprised by the concern. I guess I just wish that my ex-future boss could have overcome their concerns. I do think that the fact that I have the support of a few key people that know what's what will help me in the long run. And, like I said, I think EFB is hoping that by letting me know the real reason she couldn't hire me is so that I work on this for a future possibility down the road. Which I should be doing anyway, I mean, I know it's never good to be negative.
