I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Today was a day.

I had to interview two people and thus had a lot of impromptu huddling with my team to go over what questions we asked and what areas needed further exploration. When I wasn't doing that, I was dealing with a deeply crazeballs situation that had me creating an Achievement Unlocked meme because there was no other possible response to the ridiculousness.

My head hurts.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

And it was high-larious.

What in the hell is Kristin Stewart wearing?

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

The best I can hope is that it's in the recruiter's interest for your husband to make bank, so let's trust them.

I am taking most of tomorrow off, but not getting out hugely early, since I need to take an 11am call.

It was just a test of my boss stepping back of sweating the details--we're over budget on my current project because of a bug in someone else's software, and he's freaking out. Manager is telling him to wait until I get back, and we'll talk to the vendor, but it's not panic time now. He's visibly restraining himself from exploding with me in the room, but he's not allowed to. He's been kept apprised, and his direct report is telling him she'll handle it.

Me, I'm grabbing my pretty ornament from Michaels (the price tag is still on, and I'm honestly surprised someone spent 9 bucks on me without taking credit) and RUNNING LIKE THE WIND.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, Cashmere. Good on you.

I mean, normally people just swear at me or threaten legal action, but this week someone literally described me as a life ruiner. And that wasn't even the achievement that I unlocked! It was just personally satisfying.

Yikes, shrift.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ack, Dana. I hope something good comes through.

Last song heard = "Rope on Fire." Heh.

Cashmere, I had to do something similar for a friend's father. It was hugely distressing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think this week is just a poopy week.

This week is definitely bullshit. I'm hoping it's so next week can be smooth sailing into the holiday.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hey, is *anyone* still winning the Little Drummer Boy game at this point? If so, I envy the hell out of you.
