Rule or not rule?

Not rule. At least, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Goals. Sigh. I do feel like I should have some of those, but I haven't been able to come up with any.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! Have a lovely evening, Lovely People!

P.S. I also often feel like the most Aimless Slacker of My Generation.

My goal is to work about as hard as I do right now, but for more money doing more interesting stuff.

That - THAT's my goal! (Thanks for articulating, Jess!)

So here's the thing, ita ! When I run the report, there are only results for May.

Oh, for the love of god, how can we possibly be having this conversation? It took me at least an extra five minutes to leave the office because he kept nodding and not understanding that there are no records. in the world. of this database. for June. Period. At all. It is a bug. That he gave a status on fixing two hours ago.

I can't. talk any slower or make better hand gestures.

Something the carwash guy did means that the light for park is on even when my key isn't in the ignition. I will not have a battery tomorrow if I don't work this out, will I?

ita !, I am the least techiest person ever, but I am pretty sure I understand that.

So, jumping on the heat complaining train - I know I signed up for this, but working outside all summer in the LA heat? Is going to be a Herculean test of my endurance. And I *like* heat and humidity. But it is unrelenting and brutal already, and we're just getting started. I could wring out my t-shirt, I swear. I have to use diaper rash cream because of my hip brace. I drink a liter of Gatorade a day in addition to at least three liters of water (not counting what I drink at home before and after work). I feel like I need a Camelbak or an IV to stay hydrated, because the sweat just rolls down, all day long, as fast as I can drink.

Yeah, stay tuned for more where that came from.

I've decided my goal for my 40s (one more year until I have to start) is to get a college degree of some kind.

And my "career goal" is to have a nice, low stress job, with decent benefits that doesn't eat up all my time so Will and I can do fun stuff. Not terribly ambitious but... I'm pretty sure that's what I want.

My goal is to be alive long enough to see my children grow into adults and healthy enough to enjoy it when they get there.

smonster, the hottest I've ever been was late July in New Orleans. You're a brave woman. I couldn't get over how the cold water from the tap was more like lukewarm.

OMG, my Batman leather jacket arrived. It's way too warm for me right now, and I have been wearing some of my other leather jackets all week. It's cut for a guy, and even the small is kinda bulky (it's a real motorcycle jacket--I spent five minutes yanking out all the protective padding) so I look a bit weird in it. BUT IT'S BATMAN, BITCHES.

Can't take pictures of it today. Too tired. Maybe the weekend.

Man, if only they could shift TDKR to the winter so I could wear it...or maybe this is the sign that I need to see the midnight showing...

Yeah, I took showers last summer without turning on the hot water. When I had running water, that is. Even though this is my second summer here, it's my first working outside, since last year I was unemployed.

EEEEE! Can't wait to see pictures.

Pet peeve of mine. And I worry that I do it sometimes too. Double annoying!

That is a really good goal.
