Sleep, honey. Sorry for the medical drama.

Yay for validation! Does that mean you're done or just can move on to the next step?

We're DONE. I have learnt a bit of a lesson on this one about charging forward--there's no reason to assume all the wheels of bureaucracy can keep up with my impatience, nor should they. If the data centre balked at the changes today, when we told them 24 hours ago they were coming, they'd never have put it right yesterday. And slowing down in parts lets me make sure everything's right, and all the points of intersections with other people are considered (methodology is a huge deal for us this year, and I want to get all up in that), so I remember to tell the offshore tester that she can get back to work, etc.

But when we literally have worked out what the problem is, what is the point in delaying collecting information on why we have no connectivity? Other people can't find a more rooty root issue than that. Let's see what we can do to fix it. But I had so many blocks put in my way that a co-worker just got up and did the stuff that I was told to hold off on when I said I'd do it--but we have the same job title, I'm just senior. And when I got up and walked through the steps I was told to take, the people not in our group looked at me like a crazy person and said "but ou already did that..."

Anyway. Onto important things like why Vitamin Water thinks that ad hoc rap concerts on planes stuck on the tarmac are good things. I would want to cut a bitch.

Oh, poor Mac. Neither break nor bend things, son. How did he hurt himself?

msbelle, I keep hoping your job search is swift and effective.

I wore bamboo tights to work today. I have worn them before. My allergies are RAGING -- having a ton of fruit trees is awesome in any other time, but the combo of quince, pear and orange blossoms with night jasmine is KILLING ME. Anyway, back to the tights. I spent a little more time sitting than usual today, though I still got in 16,000 steps. And it was 80 degrees

As I'm driving home, my butt and tops of legs hurt. Like general discomfort. I take my dress and tights off and I look in the mirror and I have two giant rashes from the tights, because I have an underwear line where the rash stops. WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK?! The dress I wore is wool, though my underwear is cotton. If it weren't for that fact I'd just assume my body is rebelling against any and all plant matter.

I found bamboo tights disappointingly uncomfortable. No rash, though--that's sounds awful. And clearly can't be detergent--have you any other experience with the fibre? Mine were mostly short-crotched problems.

Oh no to rashes and sprains! My local allergens are strong enough to break through the chemical shield I use all spring and summer, maybe the bamboo will be not irritating at other times. That would be a hard gamble to take, though.

I seem to be going ahead with this refi, because I didn't have enough in the way of tasks and stress. If I'm able to live within my income in a couple of months it will be worth it, though.

I've totally worn the bamboo many times before. That's the weird part. But damn, having sort of upper leg diaper rash as an adult is not okay.

I found bamboo tights disappointingly uncomfortable.

For days when your ass is grass?

It sounds unpleasant, that's for sure.

Any buffistas know anyone who works at Skadden, Arps?

Nope, though I can give you general info on Law Firm HR if that would help.
