Yay msbelle!

Yay for the new job, msbelle!

msbelle! Glam! Go both of you!

Trudy, I hope your father's wife wakes up soon.

Magic's son is not stylistically unlike the son on House of Lies (which is the most Motttastic show I've loved--it's like repeated uppercuts you keep walking, nay, running into). He's certainly willing to ignore gender norms when he gets dressed in the morning.

I bailed from work after working out how to implement image maps with CSS, which was interesting knowledge to acquire. I asked the Web Team (who are not part of IT--I swear it makes some sort of sense) for simple code to put image hovers on t a links, and they laughed at me and asked if the sky (aka HTML 5) was the limit. I explained that I was the only person who'd be using it, not developers, so yes. HTML 5 is more than desired. It's kind of sad that it's true--we don't officially know HTML 5 in the IT group, but since I'm not a developer, I'm not bound by that limitation.

Seems I won't get it in time to incorporate into the mockup, but I will be interested to see how they implement it--they never fail to make me want to get back into HTML, but depress me about lack of design skill and flair. Well, at least I indent tidily.

I would love to collapse for the day, but I am hoping hoping I can get my Mac back today. So much of my daily workflow hinges on it--reading twenty browser windows is tricky on the tablet, and I only use the desktop for 2/3 of my stuff. Which doesn't include, say, scanning my challenge drawings. My father is being deliberate about giving me feedback on those, and he sees way more than I put in. But he does think my "orange" picture was too orange. Don't I get a pass for that? Also, suck with colour. I hope he likes my pink shoes better. And...fuck...I don't even know today's prompt. Reason £...where did my octothorpe go? Fucking Brits. I mean, second reason to not collapse for the day.

And, shit, I have a neuropsych appointment tomorrow morning. Are they going to evaluate if I'm mentally healthy enough for pain relief? I have no idea who to pretend to be.

I realised this morning that I don't have the right jacket to wear on a grey morning with jeans and a pink gingham shirt. That's...unfortunate evidence of stupid clothing shopping. No excuse for that. I think the shrunken (what is that faux-small trend called?) velvet blazer looked silly.

Random clothing...thing. These belts: s3.amazonaws.com/bonanzleimages/afu/images/3666/1851/3holebelt6.JPG are the niftiest. My co-worker called them out as belts you can get fat in, but I needed to stipulate you could also lose weight too. I would never buy a normally grommetted belt again, pretty much, if I could avoid it.

Right. Time to track down a drawing challenge.

Woot, woot, msbelle!!!

So, I'm going into the office tomorrow. With my purple highlights. Wonder if anyone will say anything? Did I mentioned I'm going in cause our group has a meeting with the company president?

I think they are called shrunken blazers. Ooh, I bought a belt like that recently, after you mentioned the style before, expressly so I can keep wearing it as I lose weight. I am having a lot of trouble with my waistbands and belts lately, even from one day to the next I can't predict how anything will fit. I don't think I am actually changing shape that fast, I don't know what's going on.

Still half an hour of work and nothing to do...

Speaking of babies, my third niece was born this afternoon!

Babies! Congratulations, Glam and DW big brother Shane!

That is a little weird about the Google calendar invite, -t, but still -- interview!

I'm so tired. Work was so crazy today, I actually never even opened Twitter or Tumblr. And now I'm just too beat.

Right? My last interview with this company someone asked me that morning if I could meet with the interviewer that day (obviously, I did not get that job, still temping) so I guess this is an improvement. And I'm betting the people who decided to set up the interview were in meetings all day, because that's where they often are lately.

OK, in honor of doing so very little at work, I am going to mow my lawn. Also, my neighbors mowed their lawn and now mine looks much worse in comparison. Here I go.

Also - yay shrift's niece! Babies, woohoo!

That sounds slightly wackadoo, but a positive step, -t?

Yay shrift's niece!
