I like to think that Obama is checking what Avengers fanfic I read so he can bookmark stuff to read on the weekends.

I wonder if he ships Clint/Coulson or Steve/Tony. I've got some good stuff if he's curious.

Who the hell underlines page numbers in a journal reference? What kind of whackass citation style is that?

Or both! Although the man is busy.

ETA: Kitty health~ma, Fred.

Today is just a humongous fuckup on my part. I'm angry, embarassed, and frustrated. Apparently "bring all the parties concerned together" is not the right answer to "ita, we're getting nowhere trying to get this other project going, and we only have 2 weeks left." And "I'll create one right now!" is not the right answer to "ita !, can you create one right now!"

If (someone else's) manager is mad at me because I said "you should probably track this last bit", how was I going to get away with "I'm not doing any of the bits, actually, even though the deadline is in ten minutes and there's no way to assign the work and read someone in in that time"?

I really don't get why "Jesus, let's get some traction here!" gets held against me, but the second circumstance where I said "let me convey that information to the central repository where the team will (eventually) assess it" AND THAT'S WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO is as well.

Unrelated to any of those other people, I think I'm the cause of the 3:30 meeting with the CIO being cancelled, not least of all because I ran late for another meeting because of the ad hoc knowledge transfer that prevented me getting lunch.

no joke, rest a spell, Consuela.

Am I wrong to want to catch the flu so I can justify not doing anything for a week?

As it is, I have to run the linens back to the church, visit Dad & plan his trips east, and go to the family council meeting at the facility.

All I really want to do is sit on my futon and read post-apocalyptic Avengers fic. Speaking of which:

I wonder if he ships Clint/Coulson or Steve/Tony.

Hey, he could read het! There's always Clint/Natasha, which I rather like.

Or both! Although the man is busy.

"Hm, stories about badass government agents or the symbol of America? I should ask Malia."

edit: "Hey, he could read het! There's always Clint/Natasha, which I rather like."

Bad liberal, my biases are showing.

Nope. But you can definitely give yourself time to sit on your futon and read post-apocalyptic Avengers fic.

You are allowed to not do anything because you don't want to do anything, Consuela.

Timelies all!

My car wouldn't start this morning. Had to wait for the AAA guy to show up. Luckily, it was the battery, and he had a new one for me. Still, not the way I wanted to start the day.

Pace yourself, Consuela. Immunity takes a hit when you are grieving so you are more susceptible to the flu! Put off anything not essential, and be real objective about what is really required.

Kitty~ma headed your way, Fred.
