I'm waiting to hear back from one of my big clients regarding the initial estimate for the huge annual project I do with them. This is always a little nerve wracking and one of the only places where I'm not good at being super patient. This really does set my budget for about half of my work year, and it's always a lot of prep to get things ready to submit, and then I just want an answer.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

le nubian are you in OK? I just came here to check and see if there were 'istas there. Please stay safe. The news footage from Moore, OK is devastating.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
oh yeah, I'm ok. I was better before I saw the news!
I hate tornadoes anyway, and this was just too much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hope everyone's caught up on TV finales, because there is some severe storm action in the season wrapups that's going to trigger like a mofo.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
xkcd totally lurks here. You know this to be true deep in your internetty hearts. Come out and play!
I think I may have to post this chart in my office: [link] because as an ex coder who now does fairly mundane office work it is always, always supremely tempting to automate whatever trivial task I'm currently obsessing over. And then the next six hours are gone while I tweak the code to make it just a little bit more efficient.

I'm sorry, le nubian. I meant to ask if you were in Oklahoma. I just got lazy with my typing. I'm glad you're okay. I can't believe what I'm seeing on the news.

I just emailed a distant friend out there.

This is the new skirt I'm currently wearing. I am also wearing these earrings, and I swear my belt (obi-style, black with pink flowers) was bought on Etsy too.
Shoes are from eBay.
