I don't have a lot of regrets, other than one or two places I still want to travel and a few times I know I acted badly, but one of our previous discussions about regrets here made me realize that one of the things I do still want to do is have a dog, which is one of the primary reasons I bought a house.

Shut up and answer my email.

My manager is having a freakout, and while I get it, I wish she would leave me alone so I could just be sick and not feel bad. Instead, I'm doing developers' work because...I don't fucking know. They're not doing it themselves. And I don't mean development, I mean things like "Well, why don't you call [so and so] and ask him about the code he wrote? I told you I DON'T DO THAT."

Jesus. That's not even the pain talking. I'm not a .NET programmer. I can't suddenly pretend to be one. So I'm making myself look stupid to support by asking kindergarten questions because no fucking DEVELOPER can work out how to put the ticket in themselves.

Well, nap now. Fuck this shit.

The rumors are that Zimmerman is going to be charged with 2nd degree murder.

If I travel to a different city for a job interview, can I claim it on my taxes as an unreimbursed business expense?

I've always been Ms. Cautious and feel that I missed everything. It's not all my fault, though...there really have been fewer opportunities to cut loose

Zenkitty,

I think so.
