If I say this is a posting to make it happen post, will it negate the effect? Because the SO went out this morning to run errands and isn't back yet and it's twenty minutes after we were supposed to leave and he hasn't packed yet. There's almost no way we'll make it by the time the kennel closes, which means I will have to miss the show to tend to the dog.
Nevermind that I'm not entirely ready either. And that I have housecleaning to do. I am making up for my anxiety by painting my nails silver.
I am distraught that TX is not on Cash's list thus far. WAH.
bon bon, you are stirring up trouble.
Okay, and he was planning on leaving at 10.
we are having a buffista location fight!
Although, really? HOBBIT.
Now I'm trying to picture a Hobbit in high heels.
Did I mention my internet doubled in price 2 months ago and I just noticed? So I got on live chat just now. They say I was on a 24 month introductory rate. Anyway - they have now switched me from $62/mo to $50/mo and supposedly faster speed. $12/ month is better than nothing, but I really wanted it under $40.

You haven't LIVED until you've seen a hobbit in heels. And a corset.
Now I know for sure--the CIO is 3 years older than me. I know that there comes a point where it's not about age-related seniority, and I really don't
want
to be a CIO, but...I do feel a bit inadequate thinking of the difference between what she's achieved and what I have at our relatively similar years.
Went for lunch with the other business analyst, manager, and boss yesterday. I think it was a deliberate morale move. I forget that my boss might expect to socially be my boss outside the office, but..NSM. I have conversation lines I won't cross, but my attitude is still pretty brassy.
My first boss there and I completely failed to click. Any time either of us tried to be funny, the other one would take it seriously and misinterpret and it would just be awkward and we could never have a conversation longer than 3 minutes about anything other than work. Boss now is from India, and he finds a lot of similarities between his expat experience and mine, despite the differences in culture. We talk a lot about random stuff. And he's also startled, but pleasantly, at the sort of humour I display at work (I think he's not used to poker face absurdity? If I say ridiculous things with conviction, I can almost always shock him into laughter. It's...too easy. But it means that after the whole "WHY IS NOTHING GOING RIGHT" meetings I can turn around and be remarkably honest to him, because we get along well, better than I get along with my manager, and although it's impolitic, there
are
things I'd rather tell him.
tl/dr; This all IT meeting better end soon, but then I have to work--I really should be on a sick day today, but that's impossible. But I just want to curl up and cry myself to sleep. This week has taken so much out of me.
