And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

So... there's a veteran on the list. "And they can't pass over a veteran if they meet the minimal qualifications."

t beats head against the desk

(No, that's not the final word, just what some random person at a desk in DC told me.)

Damn it, Suela.

Re: King Philip's War, it was the colonial settlements at the fringes that had the worst of it; western Mass and Maine (which was part of Mass at that point) and down the Connecticut River Valley. Most of my ancestors were firmly ensconced in Plymouth and Taunton and Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, where the colonial population density was high and (in some areas) the local native population was heavily Christian. It was a pretty terrible war, in terms of losses in comparison to total population, on both sides. Philbrick's 'Mayflower' is actually mostly about the war, and is pretty readable.

Aaaaaargh, Consuela. I think you need another vacation, like, yesterday.

Had a great time in Nashville and was so happy to get to meet and introduce the SO to another Buffista (he liked you bunches!).

Yay! It was really fantastic to see you guys. I was sad that I had to go back to work.

Speaking of work... yikes, I am falling way behind. I know this is not a new problem for me (or many people), but I am having so much trouble concentrating and motivating myself to do my work. And my work is reading, for cryin' out loud! It should not be so hard for me to buckle down and get it done, but I come into work every day now with a bad case of the don' wannas. I'm getting tired of this job. Need to start keeping an eye out for other potential jobs -- I really miss library work. But there are so few library jobs. Bleh.

Man, I am not getting so much work done, but I am doing great on dealing with grown-up life things. I just went in and increased my 401k contribution - been needing to do that for a while.

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

I think today might be another sick day, if I ever get out of the doctor's office.

And scrabble is broken on all my devices, seemingly due to a Facebook email address change.

I came into the office today cause I have a meeting with my manager this afternoon. Guess who isn't in the office today. Arrggg. They are resetting our job descriptions and we were going to go over the job description matrix together - would be so much easier face to face.

And once again, I work from home for a reason. It is too cold, the lighting is wierd, people are loud and distracting distracting, and I'm honestly more comfortable, bodywise, working at home. My shoulders are already uber-tight. If my manager isn't coming in later today, I think I'm leaving around noon.

That is surprising. I thought driving in snow was one of the three things Canadians are extra good at.

It's only the first day. Then calm and good driving return to the land.

So I work in a building that is on the campus of a university. The student union are having a puppy room at the beginning of exam time. Genius! [link]
