Natter 69: Practically names itself.
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.
I don't have DST, neener neener.
I also don't have team building exercises, but that's because I don't have a team.
Which reminds me, who is coming over to do my work for me?
I tried to sell 27 books through Powells, but they only wanted two of them for a total of $1.50, which is less than they'll do. Woes.
So I was practicing my guitar and realized I was switching between chords without having to look down and readjust my fingers on the frets. As soon as I realized it, I messed up.
But it's all coming along nicely.
Yay for progress, Allyson!
One good thing about DST is that it means the cats, who start crying for breakfast as soon as it gets light, got us up at 7 today instead of 6. Would have been even better if I'd been asleep until then, but instead I woke up at 2:30am and tossed and turned the rest of the night.
(Uh, sorry for all the complaining, y'all. I know I've generally had it pretty easy with this pregnancy, but damn, it is really wearing on me by now.)
I am incredibly cranky about DST. It is seriously fucking up my biorhythms.
Oh G-d. my rage and fury about DST. My body clock does NOT agree with this "spring forward" nonsense.
As soon as I realized it, I messed up.
Yeah, there are several steps in skating I can do with no problem if they are part of a dance, but I always mess up if I try to think about them. Damn us and our brains getting all thinky and self-aware. Oh, and go you on the chord-mastery!
Yay, Allyson! That's real progress, that is!
Timelies all!
Yay Allyson! Now if I could just find my motivation to start practicing guitar again...
Yay Allyson! I love hearing about your progress with the guitar.
What a team building vacation with my first US job taught me was: be ruthless picking your team.
I'm good with that.
A huge part of our team leaves April 6th, for reasons kinda beyond his control. I am so mad I almost want to take it out on him. Seriously. HE CAN'T LEAVE. I can't do this without him.
I thought today was Tuesday! Oops. I actually almost made a decision based on that mistake. But, thankfully, I managed to escalate stuff to the lawyers, and finally got myself out of that loop.
Has anyone seen the horror movie May?
I'm sure that DST is what's messing me up today, as I turned in before 11pm last night and slept almost 9 hours. But the gronk is still with me as heavily as it was yesterday after staying up for the play Saturday night and getting home after midnight.
I take a dim view of team-building exercises in general, but my company is small enough and most people know each other well-enough we haven't had many. The one big one I recall involved everyone flying to Chicago and spending the day putting together kits for some charity's outreach to disadvantaged families, so it at least produced something useful.
