Man, I am ridiculously distractable today. This morning so far I have: sorted and reorganized cds on the studio floor, gone through cds in the media closet and on the office floor, sorted through digital music files on two different computers, tracked my favorite band's new tour dates, google mapped travel plans that could allow me to go see one of their tour dates, updated my online calendar, played a game, and faffed around on social media. What I have not done? Found the cd with the track I need to duplicate and distribute this morning for work.

I've sent two messages I needed to send today, and set up my work email on my phone finally. The rest of the day has been spent worrying about and trying to catch my stupid cat who got out and jumped over the damn fence I put around the porch to prevent cats escaping. It's the one who was a stray, so he knows how to be outside, but I'm still worried. I can't catch him and he won't come to me, so I'm inside trying to work and waiting for him to finally decide to come back inside.

Gray Cat, still outside. Me, still anxious. Less about his safety, he's just hanging around the patio and will probably be fine, but more about how completely miserable my life is about to become, with him - and by association, the other cat - constantly wailing and scratching at the door to get OUTOUTOUT. I wish they were content with being indoors, like the black cat is. I don't even know what to do anymore. I built a dang fence around my porch to keep them safely corralled, and he went and jumped the thing before I could grab him. There's nothing else I can think of to do keep them safely inside.

Liese, clearly all the cd organizing means that you were looking for that one cd you need.

And Gray Cat has returned safely from his adventure, because it's dinnertime. He probably thinks he's going to go back out. Oh, sad kitty he will be. And sad human I will be, listening to him bitch about it.

Zenkitty, I'm glad your cat is home safely.

I had a wonderful night at the library bookstore. We were so busy because of school vacation and I talked with lots of interesting people.

I've gone into interview-prep overdrive. Got the slides for my talk mostly prepared. Got people to cover many of my classes for the days I'll miss, but I'm still missing a few. Getting nervous already.

TCG's meeting was supposed to end by 8:30 because he needs to get home to give me my shots tonight, but it's running long and he can't get out of there. If he can't leave in the next half hour, I'm going to have to do them myself. I'm freaking out and pissed off because he spoke to the person running the meeting ahead of time and this wasn't supposed to be a problem.

My neighbors? Suck. JFK did not say "Sit on your lazy butts and I will gift-wrap a solution and bring it by your house with a shiny bow on it." (at least not with pants on, anyway.) If I were not a white person, they would make me roll my eyes at white people.

If I were not a white person, they would make me roll my eyes at white people.

Wait...we're not allowed to roll our eyes at White people? Shit, I've been doing this wrong.
