My week is onerous. Got a ride home with my boss since my neighbors are working late today.

Came home to find cat barfed on my sheets. Which were just washed Sunday. So they are in the wash. Tonight is clusterfucknight at the pool, where I pretty much have to be there by 5, or after 7. And with little control over my working hours without a car, after 7 it is.

I really hope they finish my car tomorrow cause I need to run an errand tomorrow night. Bleahrg. Why did everyone else's cars have to break down same weekend as mine?

Ah well, at least I'm not having to cope with larcenous people.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm in test scrip hell (user validation on a system I've been working on for over a year to get up into production).

I am supposed to have dinner tonight with a near and dear person and dammit I don't want to have to cancel. Yet, I am on page 16 (out of 272) and every page is an onerous task. Shoot me now.

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

javachik, if you don't go out to dinner, will you finish in time? If not, then go out to dinner. Life is short, and there will always be another problem. There might not always be another dinner.

caveat: I'm feeling a little melancholy, a little fed up with work, and a little drunk.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I had no idea that Vlad was such a popular name.

I can't explain why, but this sentence has made me laugh and laugh.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

javachik, if you don't go out to dinner, will you finish in time?

Oooh. That's a good point.

Our wings are not tired.

This testing was intended to be complete tomorrow. If I spend the evening away tonight, it likely won't be.

And part of the problem is our IT SOP for testing is extreme - I'm waiting for an email notification from the system to complete one step, and just got off the phone with the vendor. That email notification? Could be delayed for hours. So while I can go on with the next steps, philosophically speaking, my IT director would have a cow if I did so without filling out an Incident Reporting Form.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

System validation is long, arduous process, and you never know when you'll hit a bug and be unable to continue further, too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't actually have time for the noodles and cabbage. I forgot I have to leave in about an hour to go help the SO out with his Rock Academy. His fellow teacher is traveling for the next two weeks, and his boss (fellow teacher's dad) is recuperating from shoulder surgery, so he's putting in extra hours. And I said I'd go, because it sounds like fun, and because he needs the extra wrangling help, but now I wish I'd started the noodles earlier. Or hadn't agreed to go.

So what else should I eat?
