Consuela, I'm glad you have a good option to work toward. Much smooth transition~ma to you.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Consuela, I hope everything goes smoothly.
Jilli!!!!! Have you seen this? [link] Because it's yummy.
Oh hey, fashion is starting to cater to my tastes again!
ION, I had to put all my desk toys away and cram my monitors onto the small part of the desk "L". But when I get into the office tomorrow, I'll have the standing desk I asked for.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Caffeine intake was about usual for a work day. I did wake up at least once, but I don't know what time it was. Interrupted sleep...all too common for me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Suela, that place sounds ideal, fingers crossed that everything works out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was a very interesting weekend--I asked one of my cousins about that ad with the androgynous model, because her brother is a transman, and she used genderqueer in her answer, and I about jumped up and down, squealing with delight. I've never heard that said out loud before.
But she talks the internet talk, but from BOOKS. It's the weirdest thing. We discussed feminism v. trans* rights, and whether or not it has to be a versus at all, and it was weird.
Other cousin--apparently one of her sisters might have MPD. Except, does that exist? Who knows? But her sister could have that. And she wants me to wear a tux to her baby sister's wedding.
Generally, it was discussed how I could appear gay to gay women, because it seems no gay woman in the history of ever has mistaken me for a lesbian, and that just seems...improbable. Given...stuff. One...is that too much to ask?
Unrelated to all that, Time Warner support wanted to know the make and model of my remote controls. And apparently Logitech Harmony 880 and 650 aren't answers she recognises. And then she wanted to know what brand my TV was, in case she had to send it a signal. Now, I've told her I'm using a TiVo. But for some reason, she thinks I'm getting TV signal over the internet to my TiVo, so I had to pretend to disconnect it from the internet to move to the next troubleshooting step.

After inching forward in a turn lane for 40 minutes waiting to get into the district fair, one of the guys directing traffic sent me down the one-way exit lane instead of to where people could park their cars. I took this as a sign and came home.

My sister doesn't think Coupling (UK) is funny. I don't know how to fix her. Can I get a refund? Even partial?
Got the estimate for my car fixing. MOTHERFUCKER.
My alarm clock broke while I was away. I'm pretty sure the warranty is expired, but I'll have a look. It will not be replaced anytime soon. One of the numerous LCD time-keeping devices about the home will have to do take the place of it. MOTHERFUCKER.
But, hey, I have the Syfy channel back...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
...At least you had a nice time away?

You're testing your spellcheck's learning skills, aren't you?
That said, that's an epic amount of crap, and I know how you feel. Last time that happened, I said fuckit and bought a pair of expensive shoes. Because I was already bleeding money, right? And then another tooth broke. So learn something (I'm not sure what) from me. I'm just waiting for the car to barf. Though technically, it has, as I need to get the AC fixed at some point before next summer....

I bargained Enterprise $7 down for the rental--boss flipped a lid because none of the employees in my team were at the office today, including him. So I *had* to say I was in tomorrow, which means rental. I wonder if he knows that at least one of the contractors wasn't there either...
