My word. I'm watching "Family Ties" and there was just an episode with a very wee JGL. Played a little punk in Andy's kindergarten class.

In the good news department, apparently the Justice Department is moving to block the AT&T and T-Mobile merger.

Also, lots of {{{}}}} to Maria and Allyson, Calli and Ginger, heck, anyone who feels in the need at the moment. I think the corollary to the FPC should be the NABAIT (Not As Bad As I Thought) axiom. Because nothing ever seems that bad once I come in here and see all the love going around.

Y'all are awesome! This is my happy place.

1 day until vacation. WHEE! Things are coming together. However, I failed to pack a lunch OR get coffee this morning. WAH. and rain predicted for every day of my trip, not on.

I realized something that's been bugging me about FlyLady, and why I will never do the shiny sink thing - she assumes that women get no help housecleaning from their partners.

Yeah, there's lots of stuff that bug me about her, and that's one of them for sure.

However, I do have to say, I woke up this morning and went to get my breakfast (healthier, because I have to report it to Noom) and I started looking around to see where I could eat it, and what do you know, my dining room table was clear! It's my hotspot I cleared off yesterday. I ate at my table, y'all. Insane.

Today I am waiting until Noom tells me to go walking at 5, because it yelled at me for two days when I went early on Monday. Also because I still have the blisters from Monday. I have to try a different pair of shoes today. The ones I used Monday were my running shoes, but all normal people shoes come up too high on the heel for me. My foot is apparently not like other people's feet.

Is it wrong that the reason I want to go into work today is that I have a brownie cupcake in my desk drawer?

So not wrong. At one point in the tech heyday, my SO had a contracting gig where he was basically invaluable to this large insurance company in downtown Indianapolis. You can see his building when they pan the city during Colts games coverage. Anyway, he was really bad about attendance there, because there wasn't really anything they could do about it and because he was getting the work done. So he had this one particular friend who would call him up and tempt him away from work to go hang out in the Nashville music stores or whatever.

So his coworker eventually put him on the Twinkie plan. If he came into work on time and stayed the whole day, she gave him a twinkie the next day. It totally worked. She's in HR now.

Today there is going to be a party because it is my 10th anniversary here. It kinda freaks my shit out a little because I have never stayed on any job nearly this long. There is going to be a party and I am getting an iPad, which will go a LONG way to mitigate my freaked-out shit.

I'd like to have a vaguely sane romantic relationship before I die, but I suspect that might require me to have some kind of fundamentally transformative experience that I wouldn't enjoy very much.

You and me both, Strega. I console myself that I'm fairly content with my own company, so someone else's is an optional extra rather than a necessity.

I remember when you got THAT JOB!!!

We bad a. couple of brownouts this morning & now my computer doesn' t know me. Our network recognizes me but so it makes no sense.

I have been a buffista MORE THAN A DECADE!!!!!!!!

I remember when you got THAT JOB!!!

ME TOO!!!! And I thought it was fairly recent!
