Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

If it didn't come with cats, I would be tempted.

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

I just had a series of panic attacks on checking my email. The servers we should have access to for project 1, we don't. The storage space for project 1 looks like the wrong storage space. Suddenly we need Java expertise on project 1 and we have none. Project 2 starts on the same servers as project 1 a week before project 1 ends, and my boss has just compressed 7 months of work to be delivered by Christmas. I'm on the record as thinking the risk is too high, but shit...I don't care who we're hiring...that's too much.

I need to do some biofeedback exercises to calm my ass down. But...jesus. The CIO told us to take 7 months.

I just sent an "OMG, freakout" email to my manager, but I don't know if that's enough, because I need to use her as an escalation path. My word isn't being counted as important here. I need to know if I'm alone in this POV, in which case--alone. Suck it up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eek, ita. Keep breathing.

Seriously, there's no pay, but you only have to work the store Fridays and Saturdays. [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Attack Goose!

Is the state song a thing that kids all over the US learn? With hand gestures and stuff?

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

Man, that bookstore thing sounds wonderful.

If Tennessee has a state song, I never learned it.

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

there are no hand guestures to the TX state song. and I would guess most kids do not know it. I knew it at one point, but now only know the name.

ION, I am wearing one of the Target maternity dresses today and it totally works. The materials is a little thin, but other than that, fine. The non-maternity dress with the pockets I wore yesterday. I like it enough to buy another in a different color, I think.

No, the state song is not a thing in most states. I cannot name any state songs, and I've lived in seven states.
