I am like the onerous taskinator at work this week.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

a local place has some cross-cut sweet potato fries that may just be the one true fried starchy vegetable for me.

There's allegedly a restaurant here that makes tots with sweet potatoes. Sweet tater tots. I think I would never stop eating them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I bet somebody else could use pill pockets, Jesse.

Yeah -- I want to see first if he'll use them when he's actually eating his regular food, because that would be way easier.

I am SO CLOSE to being packed! Which is good, because the movers will be here in 14 hours. For now I'm finishing off the Bailey's.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

There's a bit more walking involved in getting from the parking lot to my lab in this job than in the previous one. My calves are a bit sore/tight. Joy.

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

I am like the onerous taskinator at work this week.

I was doing that earlier in the week, but then all of the extra sleep I got last weekend got used up, and now I am trying to figure out if I can nap at my desk without being disturbed.

I'm racing around trying to get crap done. I'm on vacation from 0-dark-thirty tomorrow until Tuesday night, then I go to the office on Wednesday morning and reply to email, then I fly to LA on Wednesday afternoon for two days of site visits, then I come home on Friday night. Yay for vacation, but argh for busy-ness.

Ah, well--at least I get to have dinner with some friends in Santa Monica on Wednesday. Even if I then have to drive down to San Pedro afterwards...

I am in total editorial crisis. For a series of client presentations, I have been working the past 24 hours round the clock with an outside company to have all the docs translated into Korean.

And now I have them back and I am completely unable to check, review or confirm anything. I have to take it all on TRUST. This is not how editors work.

I don't care about think or thing, but I'm BAFFLED at ita not knowing who Rob Halford is [link]

He's ROB FUCKIN' HALFORD! THE ULTIMATE LEATHERMAN!

METAL'S GAY TRAILBLAZER!

And I don't even really *like* metal.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I was going to complain about all of my work drama this week (LOTS OF DRAMA, people leaving, managers getting caught in lies, funding pulled, plans cancelled), but at least I don't have to translate things into Korean.
