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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.
Expenditures rise to meet income.

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.

Okay, actually onerous task day, not going so good. I have actual onerous work tasks in front of me and I am not doing them. I will get this one list of correspondence checked before I go home.

Every day you don't bleed to death is a win!
I handled a conference call on a subject I know very little about ON MY OWN! New boss is working at home and she didn't dial in for some reason. Fortunately, other people were very nice and I can still use the "I'm very new on this project and have not mastered your terminology" line frequently.

So weird, because S. just ran past me toward the bathroom with blood dripping from his nose.
That'll wake you up.
