I am the fly who dreams of the spider

So I work 8 to 4. Boss is pretty firm on sticking to a 40 hour work week. I'll be logging at least 4 hours on Saturday tomorrow. At 2:30 she tells me that if I want, I can clock out early to compensate for me working the weekend.

Um, no?

Hi, I'll be taking a proper half-day next week, so sorry.

I've been taking active measures to undermine her freaky control tendencies, which has been giving me mucho pleasure. Deferring hers and mine needs to another department, which on one hand seems like a workaround, but really is just insulting to the woman who should be doing that work, and despite her Excel deficiencies, seems to be on top of things.

Our wings are not tired.

No 3 day weekend here either since it is unlikely that any of our customers would be closed. I'll likely go home for a very long lunch so that I can watch the inauguration events.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, I'm getting a three-day-weekend all right.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Where are we discussing Downton Abbey. I'm doing a rewatch with Beau (he never saw it before) and his reactions to DA are hilarious. in episode 2 of season 1 he could not STAND Mary. Had a hate on for her like I've never seen.

Now he is calling Edith names. About 5x through any episode he says to me: why is she always running after Mary's men? What's her problem?

then when she got recognition for her work in the hospital (S2) he growled: "she doesn't deserve any applause with her stank ass. Sybil deserves applause."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Aww, I love Edith. Poor middle child.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

No 3 day weekend here and tomorrow is devoted to fumigating my parents' house again. Though Sunday off will be better than last weekend (which I worked through).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Interface is installed. Preliminaries are installed. Now for the thing itself.

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

I love Edith now, I recall not thinking much of her in previous seasons. Girl makes some poor choices. Not that she has a lot of options, but still.

Trust my rage

No 3 day weekend for me but I guess that's my fault. But Sammy's birthday is on Monday, which I can hardly believe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm definitely Team Edith.
