AARGH.
I have busted my ass for WEEKS on making this deadline and...
- data centre realises AFTER LUNCH that they have a whole new application and version of .NET to install
- ISO ran a security test that had 1 error (explained) last time, and TWO PAGES of critical and urgent security flaws now
Fuck everyone and everything. Seriously. My project went from green to red in one bullet point that should have been a gimme, because he tested these images before! I swear to god, the stuff he does makes no sense.
Ah, the constant parade of confusing ballot initiatives and propositions. I try to always go through the voter guides in advance and make informed choices...but sometimes if I can't figure out the intricacies or have a strong opinion I'll choose not to vote on those items rather than possibly make a poor choice. I always voted absentee (before moving to OR where it's all by mail, WINNING!) so it was pretty easy to sit there with the booklet and the ballot double checking my entries. I think I would need some kind of cheat sheet if I went to a physical polling place, the wording on so many of those is awfully confusing.
We have three state constitutional amendments on the ballot. I agree with the issues, but don't think they are amendment worthy. Frustrating.
ita, your work stress is beyond. I wish I could send you your preferred muffin.
Since leaving work I have picked up Noah, gone to the grocery store, made and ate dinner with Noah and K, taken Grace to soccer practice (oh man, the British coach was super fun today), made more food for Noah, fed Grace, bathed twins, run double breathing treatments and now I'm exhausted.
Sigh.
Noah had a wicked bloody nose in the middle of the night. He stained through sheets, mattress pad, all the way to the mattress. Poor guy. So in response, he gets a saline nebulizer treatment before bed. But it makes our breathing treatments go from 30 minutes to an hour.

That's why I snapped at the vendor today. They fucked with my first deadline by not calling back. The second deadline was false. This Sunday is tight, BUT WE WERE MAKING IT. I can't make sense of the security scans, at all. If those things are security issues THEY ARE ALREADY EXTANT. We're just moving the problems to a cheaper box.
But I'm done fighting for it. I fought and fought and drove this all month. My manager is back in the office so she can have everything now.
I have told people that I will not tell them what my preffered muffin is, but they are free to go to the restaurant and ask what the almost tall black woman with the short hair always orders, if they need to bribe me.
I sent the list of
critical
issues to manager and boss, and I hope for a better night's rest than I've had in weeks.
Okay--I need the first person who gives a fuck to help me out. Can you pick someone and a category from this [link] to put up at this [link] -- I cannot think right now, and I need tomorrow's picture.
I like le nubian's choice. I also offer these ones:
Lee Pace: [link]

(Also, I'm always happy when I remember you have pictures of my rock star crush object. [link]
Excellent! Thanks, guys. I have three days queued up now.
Where do I submit photos for Provocateuse, again? I swear I won't spam you with Gerard Way photos. Swear.
