There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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

Well, if you are done with the day it's the weekend, right?

I've gone through 50 pages of refi docs and signed most of them. I don't think I know how to sign my name any more.

God, I hope that was everything.

I wouldn't mind crawling under my desk and napping. My officemate is out today....

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

Does anyone here have any fashion apps they like? And if so, which ones and why? I grabbed a few a while back (that "other people also installed" feature is insidious) and now I'm staring at them wondering what I meant to accomplish.

Mostly I'm blown away that there are people who can contribute looks to these on a frequent basis--I haven't looked at many amateur look blogs, but similar awe. I haven't found anyone that shares a lot of my taste, and so far (on Pose) when it's, say, the belt that I'm really interested, only the dress and shoes are tagged.

Hell, I'm not sure what I want to accomplish. Other than be a) the best dressed senior business systems analyst on the block and b) exert no effort. Oh, spending way way little money is a pretty good c).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Zulily alert, parents edition: They just started a Crayola sale this morning, with some cool art projects and supplies and organizers at about half off.

Because books.

Well, if you are done with the day it's the weekend, right?

Oh, how I wish.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish my boss would cancel our weekly meeting. It's now, and she's in there with the door shut, so probably too busy to meet, right?? (I don't have anything to report...)

I'm pretty much in the same boat, ita. I picked up a few apps that sounded nifty for wardrobe management (which is mostly what I want, but that does include new clothing acquisition), but seem to require a lot more dedication or time or effort than I am willing to put in.

But the upcoming 3-day weekend (Monday is an unpaid day off for me, yay?) will be all about wardrobe management, so maybe I will figure one or more of those apps out.

ETA: I have interacted with a few people in the office now and no one has screamed or tried to rip their eyeballs out, so I think the print mixing is a success.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh. Getting kids out the door and to the bus was a struggle. I mean, it's often a struggle but today it was a bigger struggle than usual. I'm done. AND DH & I are both supposed to go up there in a couple hours for a special 2nd grade event. You'd think the boy would be nice on a special day, right? YOu'd be wrong. Urgh!

I'm tired of parenting toddlers. Not sure what I've done wrong, but they refuse to act their ages and I'm no longer responsive in any kind of effective way to daily temper tantrums.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have a call in 20 minutes to talk to someone about how much my manager sucks. (The guy is talking to the whole team one-on-one.) Even though I am leaving in August, it's still kind of weird and stressful.
