Completely unrelated to the 2 firings in our department 5 people were fired yesterday. 2 of them were VPs. holy shit balls is kinda the mood here. This was apparantly related to an EEOC whooha.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I swear, putting in that project two weeks ago has killed my brain.
I'm just dropping balls left right and centre. I can't even make excuses for myselt. I don't know why I can't keep the right facts on the top of my mind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My response is something like "fuck you".
IF ONLY.

Yikes.
In my-job news, the higher-ups just decided today to try to head additional brouhaha off at the pass. I think it's a good call, but it would have been nice if they had made it last week.

You know what else is bullshit? The first significant snow in our forecast, and it's for FRIDAY NIGHT. I don't need that shit!

Because books.
Good god, msbelle. That sounds horrible.
Consuela, the plan should be to have someone else give her pumpkin bread and say they made it. And then you make it with all salt instead of sugar or something, and watch her take a bite.

msbelle! man.
I like Amy's plan, but I might go so far as to find out what kind of baked goods she does like, bake something, have a coworker claim it and sub/add a spice. Maybe a splash of cayenne pepper?

Heh. I am not evil enough, I suspect.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Egad, msbelle!
ita, I think it's fair to blame some of your concentration issues at work on your spotty medical treatment. Dr Asshat is an asshole.

ita, you are overwhelmed, that's why. I'm in the thick of minor throes of it, and it's all I can do to keep on top of my bills and I'm convinced I'm not. OH WATER BILL.NOW.
Wine night. Which I was late to due to thundersnow. I was up at 5, I got to the pool early, started aaaaand 30 minute delay due to thunder. Fucking January and February. I was like, ok half mile, but IF I DON'T GET MY FULL MILE AND A HALF I MIGHT STAB SOMEONE TODAY. And I didn't want to do that to my neighbors. It was an angry swim. And my times were fast. Yay anger? But wine night was still good for me, though we were all like OMG, how long did we talk about HSAs and health insurance? OMG, but also how A's ex-wife (not really, roommate, but everyone assumed they were a couple even though they both like boys) is a bad picker, that broken stupid 7 year relationship, how S's Joe has become the yardstick by which all potential boyfriends are measured (and he was there!) and plumbers and heater replacers and geriatric cats and bands and weird neighbors. Ah, late 30s home owners....
I dunno. I hate Jan/Feb. It's always a clusterfuck. But at least I have good people.

Well, crap. Now the city's website is being stupid and not letting me pay. Damnit. eta: ok, solved. Now what else have I been forgetting?
