The Carlin theory of bigger house=more space=more stuff is apparently true.

Most of life is covered by corollaries of Parkinson's laws:

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!!!!)

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.

Twitter revealed to Birgitta Jónsdóttir, a member of Iceland's parliament, that the feds were seeking all of her Twitter communications. Facebook did not,

The difference is that Twitter challenged a gag order meant to prevent that notification. Google & other companies have notified members when they were subpoenaed, but AFAIK gag orders weren't involved in those instances. Wikileaks called for Google & Facebook to say whether they were subpoenaed as well, and I don't think there's been any response, which is... troubling.

Holy crap. Yesterday, pizza and cheesecake. Today, the rest of the cheesecake and a free bottle of cognac.

You guys can tell me; I promise I won't flip out. I've died and gone to heaven or slipped into a multiverse or something, haven't I?

What's everybody doing for their Onerous Task today?

I called the doctor for a third time to try to get an appointment, and for the third time was unable to make an appointment -- their office is closed all day today, due to last night's snow. Augh. Just write me a frelling prescription already!
