'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

An important life skill, I feel.
I had a friend who claimed the most important phrase to know was "Don't shoot. I'm an American." Of course, that was a number of years ago. Probably now it should be, "Don't shoot. I'm a Canadian. Eh."
Oh, that's a tragic thrifting loss, Hec. But some other little girl will be rapturously happy when she finds them.
Man. I just changed the toner cartridge in my laser printer, and it was apocalyptic with exploding black dust. I am sure I just lost, well, probably seconds off my life. Fun though. Now if only I could figure out what I need to clean to make it stop making those lines across the bottom of my prints.
Argh.
I hate bureaucracy. I was all, "YAY" about finding a creative way to get this enormous project moving forward. It would have been a huge feather in my cap. And now I've learned that we probably can't do it the way I'm thinking, and I've had to get the lawyers involved.
I am a lawyer: I know and love many lawyers. And getting the lawyers involved in this is not going to end well. ::sigh::
I'm also tired of being blamed for the red tape. I didn't make the red tape, people! And if I skipped over the red tape for someone else's project, you'd be the first people yelling for me to get fired or arrested for skipping the red tape! Argh.
Oh, that's a tragic thrifting loss, Hec.
I completely recognized the look on her face as she tried and tried to shove those boots and there was just no way. That sort of gritty determined set to the mouth in the face of an immovable size-too-small.
MCR CONCERT TONIGHT! Cass and I are each other's designated adults. Someone be ready to post bail or provide an alibi, 'kay?
"Yes, we stole this car, but her folks didn't mind."
"Yes, we stole the car, but her folks didn't mind."
And we do have the time to live forever.
The great thing about doing costumes is that you can buy the thrifting losses and use them for someone else! I pretty much buy any reasonably priced vintage anything in good condition under $5.00
I need to step away from the documentary about people hving to leave their pets during Katrina. I know I am going to weep.
Federal tax return came in today. Yay! Paid annual car insurance and quarterly water bill. Boo!
Sluggish swim today, but I slept funny and so my neck was bothering me the first mile. Luckily, that seemed to unkink it and the second mile was pain free.
Did some more touch up painting and am doing laundry now.
I'm sitting at home nebulizing after going to a pharmacy different from my usual because they were the only place that had the right stuff available today.
But, but, but I have good news! Talked with my group leader about my merit raise. Average this year is 2.5% and I'm getting 3.5%. This is after the 5% mid-year raise, so I really wasn't expecting much. 3.5%!!!!!!! I know exactly where the extra is going, but that is fine by me.
