woohoo, I have one accountability buddy thus far - and it is someone I like who is not cray cray. Now I will get McPhee on board when I get home tonight also and that will be good for me.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So I just submitted a letter of interest at work to direct a writing conference. In theory, I can this as a good move, and me as a good fit for the job. But a bit stressful. I'll be stressed if I get it and stressed if I don't. Oy! I'm not good at this career-building stuff, but if you have a bit of job~ma to spare, I'd gladly borrow it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why can Time Warner tell what (blocked) phone number I'm calling from and Verizon (my provider) can't? I'm assuming that since I'm calling them on the phone line they say they cut off, it's not urgent, but I am too scattered right now to even look that shit up, and apparently there's no one with my name in California with an account with them.
Great! I hope they stop billing me too.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Thing I Learned Today: there is a website that tells you why flags are at half-staff (both national and states). (My office is in front of a new FBI building, and from time to time we have the conversation of "The flag is at half-staff. Does anyone know why? What does the FBI know???") [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.
I was wondering why the flags in Highland Park were at half-staff today, but it wasn't in that website. Must be a local person who died.

I recommend LoseIt.com and its accompanying phone app for fitness tracking! I could invite you and you could be my LoseIt friend!

How handy! Flags were half-staff in Utah a few days ago, and I didn't know why.
edit: I'm impressed with the states that lower their flags for their servicepeople.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A bulb blew a million years ago in my bathroom (the spot that points at the shower to boot), and I couldn't work out how to change it.
In the end, maintenance ended up taking out the whole track and replacing all three spots and the rail.
And, yes, it is valid to ask who puts spot tracklighting in the bathroom of a completely mundane apartment, and...the answer is "those people".
At least I feel better about failing the task myself.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay Grace!

"So, Billy Joe Bob told me he'd referred this issue to the Data Team, so I'm calling to see if it was directed to you. He definitely didn't say Maisie, and it wasn't Mary Sue, so maybe it was you?"
"I'm not on the Data Team."
"It's definitely not either of those two people, though."
"Or me. Because I'm not on the Data Team."
"So I'm trying to work out if he referred it to you..."
Seriously, lady--call Billy Joe Bob. I am not in this loop even remotely. It's weird what people will press you on. I have never met her, never spoken to her, never been explicitly cced with her. Also? Not on the Data Team.
