I should be cleaning up the mess from dinner before SYTYCD comes on, but instead I'm sitting. I went to get Sara from down the street, and the neighbor's (very lovely and friendly, but a jumper-upper) yellow lab left a huge claw bruise on my thigh that hurts like a bitch.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

Consuela, I drove by your office building today and gave it stink eye on your behalf.
Yeah, but I'm IN that building.
OMG I hate the contracting mechanism here. No, I seriously don't care how these folks distribute their hours, so long as they do the work and bring it in under budget. They could have an orangutan do it for bananas and spend the rest of the budget on beer, so long as the work is done right.

Yes, I just had to rewrite a scope of work, recalculate a cost estimate, and re-justify the difference between our estimate and theirs--all because I do not have telepathy, nor am I the specialist. In fact, that's why we're hiring them, so they can use their expertise on our problem! Argh.
I now have a lot more sympathy for my clients when I was in consulting. This is ridiculous.

Snarl. I missed day time karate due to work and figured I'd hit up the night class. Between then and now major cramps have made the night class doubtful. Snarl.
I'm so glad the majority of what I work on is internal and I don't have to worry about self-editing my writing.
Now, what do I want for dinner?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats Mr. flea!

Amy, I saw, thanks. I can't do much email at work because I can only read it on my smartphone, but I'll reply when I get home.

No problem, Consuela. I never know how often people check their profile addresses, so I always mention it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I came home to work on the cursed document in peace, and I think I've done a lot, but I'm not sure how much I'm supposed to do. Enh, I'll just keep working on it all night.

I'm dying to refi from a 5/1 ARM to a fixed.
I took out a 5/1 ARM in 2005 and when it reset last summer, the rate went down. Went down this summer too. I'm cool with it!
