Yeah, don't get me wrong, I like people who think I'm funny, but it is a little OTT at times.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I recently found out that my boss-of-boss has threatened other managers with "Don't make me go get Jillian and her vampire fangs".
Now that's funny!

Even funnier, in a ridiculous way? Boss-of-boss is blind. He has co-workers describe my outfits to him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In Montreal, I was pretty quiet. Those guys performed like their lives depended on it. And they were good. So the on 90% of the time things was no problem. That was six or so years of near constant laughter and high drama. Hard to sustain the energy for both, so I ended up making a break for it, only to discover if there are no comics in the room, I can fake it well enough to get by. And I'd rather a slightly funny room than leave it up to...people. So I'm obnoxious.
Calling to find out if the neurostimulator is covered. Might was well get that piece of input into the decision making. My mother is *so* against it, it's not funny. I suspect it's a "my baby!" sort of thing, because she hadn't actually asked around the medical school or hospital yet.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
"Don't make me go get Jillian and her vampire fangs"
This should be a universal statement of impending doom. Don't fuck with the fangs.
aurelia,
man, I didn't know U2 did a cover of that song.
msbelle,
I like "Unchained Melody" though a bit less so since finding out it is Simon Cowell's favorite song, but you must agree that UM is not a great song to follow Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
sumi, just yesterday I saw someone with that very purse in the elevator at work!
Also, if SF is not an option (pout), then Cash and family in Seattle would be spectacular.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
So a not-boss, but someone in the dept I support was tasked with drafting an itinerary for a trip he is taking with big boss. I am working on transferring the itinerary to a standard form and I realize he has NOT FACTORED IN TRAVEL TIME FROM SITE TO SITE. IN RURAL MOUNTAINOUS AREA!!! Seriously?!?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I decided since I did a bunch of work earlier in the week like whoah, and got home at almost 1AM last night, that I didn't feel like working today. I was on a telecon for an hour, answered a few emails, and then was on with the IT helpdesk for an hour (and they still didn't fix the problem), at which point I gave up, met a friend for sushi, and walked her dog to the park with her for a couple hours. (...I do have at least one thing that I really really should do today, and plenty of things I need to do at some point soon, but...)
I'm going to pay bills now, instead.
