If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Like, you just don't see the stuff your friends post, in the order they post it?

You'd think, right? Algorithm may be too strong a word. Some monkeys throwing sticks at the keyboard may be closer. But no. For some people, it decides you want IMPORTANT posts only, however FB defines that. For some you get "most" posts. I think you can manually set or change them, but who the hell knows anymore.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Now having a Tunblr, I've followed Good Stuff! People following me, fair warning, all I do is reblog stuff. I can't be arsed to come up with new stuff. Really, I only have it so I can politely stalk Tom Hiddleston.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

When I want to declutter my friendslist, I just hide people, or set them to "only important updates." I assume they're doing the same with me. Why ask permission to not read posts you're not interested in anymore?

Because books.

I think this is probably it.

I've never seen another "product"(for values that include free service, I guess) that makes itself worse every time it makes changes.

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

You've seen gawker.com, Amy.

I don't get the friendslist cleaning query, but I'm really not healthy enough for LJ (har!). I mean, I don't want to share enough of what's going on inside or right outside for an LJ post, and reactions to other people's reactions to pretty things with a once monthly multi-paragraph vent is precisely my speed. Tumblr is so perfect for me right now. And, good god, the train wrecks you can rubberneck...sheeit.

Because books.

Oh yeah. But it's not a contest you want to win!

Tumblr is really addictive. I hate Twitter now -- no pretty pictures.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I should really start a personal tumblr so I can just reblog Chris Hemsworth all day, but I figure other people do that plenty, so I can just look.....

Twitter remains my instant-gratification-media favorite. Tumblr confuses me.

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

Ben just had sushi for the first time with a friend and liked it. Lee will be so proud.

I AM! Perhaps I should have sushi for dinner to celebrate.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am fighting off an anxiety attack about my boss returning tomorrow. And by fighting off I mean, I am aware that I am on teh edge of one and I am attempting to deep breathe, but it is really not helping.

He is not responding to my emails, despite sending other emails. The HR person who I send my timesheets and sent me two emails today (and she never sends emails), both kinda watchdoggy. One requested that I make sure my boss approves my timesheet (which he always has, but that was pre-writing up). And the second which told me to make sure I logged my sick day in this internal thingy. I had no idea we logged sick days there. It is where we ask for vacation days and they get approved or denied, but sick days can't be approved or denied post date of abscence - that makes no sense. Also, I do not think we have a set # of sick days, just that if you are out more than X days in a row you must have a Dr. note. So I now think I am on a list of problem employees who are being carefully watched which is such utter bs, I cannot even.
