Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

I am in such a goddamned foul mood. I guess that's what two days of staring at code and this crash timeline have wrought.

And I'm supposed to go out tonight. I'd beg off, but it is just the two of us and we've had the plans for a while.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My students finished their final exams. Tomorrow I have to post their grades. I have a headache and a sore throat and I'm getting sick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm beating myself up about work stuff it's waaaaay too late to do anything about.

I vote wine.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Go Wine! Chose Wine!

I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get this resume uploaded to the USAJobs website. Gah!

Maybe I'll wait a few minutes...

I have a wonderful overtime opportunity tomorrow, which is normally one of my days off. Fortunately just a half shift. Dammit. I'm too old to be appeased with "But we're paying you overtime, I don't know why you're upset."

Neighbor is home, but no peep from him. Might be cancelling. Should know soon enough.

Hey other people on Twitter: have you seen any cross-posts from Tumblr, from anyone? I'm trying to figure out if my changing a bunch of passwords last night borked my settings somehow. Everything I've looked at shows that my stuff should be crossposting, but nothing goes through.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And I'm out!

Only got on one panel, a civil case that was estimated to run three days, and was two people away from being called up. And the plaintiff's lawyer wanted to throw out a guy, but he missed the window. So close.

I'm not sure how much they were looking for people who had no possibility of emotional responses to the case. It was a landlord/tenant dispute, so the question "who's ever had contentions with a landlord or a tenant?" is bound to get a lot of hands raised.

Still, duty discharged and a lot of reading done. Back to the grind tomorrow.
