Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

... that rant is less meaningful if my web browser won't show the original sign. What does it say?

Thanks, tommyrot. That's pretty on-point.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So all of my stuff that needs to be in boxes is in boxes. Today I go tape them shut and label them (and probably rearrange so it's easier for the movers to get to the furniture if they need to do that first). Movers are coming to put the bulk of my stuff into storage. Sunday my brother will be coming with a pickup to haul the rest to where I'm staying until Sept. (or sooner). The weather looks sketchy so we may have to get creative.

Almost over - I can have a week or two just breathing and getting used to the new commute, then I have to start apartment hunting. Since I have a few months I'm hoping I'll find something I really like where I really like. I so want this to be all OVER though.

Oh well, only to get through this is to go through this. I'm so exhausted though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just crashed the developer meeting to explain something that they've done multiple times before but seem to be having collective amnesia on. I have literally given them all the information I can think of--not just screenshots of every step they'll need to do, a high level explanation, a technical explanation, and a table with all the information that will need to be typed into each field.

It's brave that she can stand up in front of her peers and say she doesn't understand, but I will stand up in front of them and explain it in the SAME TWO SENTENCES I've been using for weeks.

Shocking lack of questions. Huh.

I just bumped into a confusing site-- [link] which is a charity to provide free reconstructive surgery for victims of female genital mutilation. Run by Raelians. Since they're also looking to propagate humanity through cloning, it's hard to say if their perfectly admirable end goal is actually reachable through whatever plans they have in mind.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hope you can relax and recover once you don't have so much that immediately must happen, Frank. And that you find the perfect place to eventually live.

I have a pleasant conundrum: An opening has appeared in the QA department that checks tech support's work. The head of the QA department just said she'd love to hve me in the department. For some reason, the actual pay range of the department is classified, but she said no one has complained about any wage hit. So it looks like the only downside would be if I like the work and if I would mind having MOnday-Friday rather than Sunday-Thursday. I really like having Fridays off, but I'm also tired of talking to people. On the other hand, talking to people and getting their systems to work is one of the primary pleasures of the work. On the other other hand, QA has higher status and isn't bound to the clock like tech support is, and it would look good on a resume--or for looking at other opportunities in the company.

Mull, mull, mull. Time to get the paperwork from my department's supervisor to see if he'd approve my changing department and have a chat with Hubby.
