I did get most of the messages out of my inbox, so that's good.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Not really onerous, but I did clean up the kitchen, do my nails, and cleaned off a lot of the TiVO. Now shower and go get mac. Really lazy today.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I should work on my inbox. I should clear 10+ year old docs and pics off my hard drive. But I won't, not today.
Today I shovel out (some) of the storage closet and make inroads on further organizing the contents. The Carlin theory of bigger house=more space=more stuff is apparently true. Woe.

I have to get back to work...
I kind of have an onerous task victory...but not from onerous task day. Describing it would be an onerous task in itself...but the short version is I was in a battle with Sears Home Improvement over a service call to my leaking chimney. Not only are they deducting the charge, but they are redoing the flashing on my chimney, which was done poorly the first time by the subcontractor they hired. It wouldn't have happened if I didn't complain on Twitter (and then write a 1000 word email of complaint.)

Nice, Sue!
OMG, our database is the WORST. Just, worst. Why does anyone think that custom is better??

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

Nice, Sue!
I feel vindicated but still mad. I don't think I would have ever discovered that the flashing was done poorly had I not complained. WTF! (And I complained because I asked for the service in November, heard nothing, and got billed last week for it. I didn't even know they had been on my roof!!!!)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Apparently my onerous task for the day is going to be remaining vertical. I woke up cranky, the SO is gone all day but I don't need to leave until evening, so my plan was to putter around in pj's, do nails, take a bath, work a little at my desk, rehearse, read, and then go.
Instead, I got up, ate, felt tired and went back to bed. Got up, ate, came into the office to work, and got a nosebleed. Now I feel all post-nosebleed manky. Although I did not bleed to death, so that is a win.
But seriously, I'm going back to bed. The universe does not want me awake today.
