Coming up through the DRAINS?!? Do I even want to know how ants get in the drains?! Shouldn't that stuff be...waterproof? Draining to other waterproof pipes, where there are NO ANTS? Eek. (...I might be a little anti-bug)
I'm being fairly productive this morning, but must rant:
OMG COWORKER SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP. Do not send me literally 10 emails trying to get me to rearrange my schedule. I realize that I would be a convenient person to have do this, as I have both the authority and the knowledge, BUT I do not intend to (a) rearrange my schedule or (b) fly home late Friday night and fly out again on Sunday morning. I'm sorry if that bothers you, but TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. Also, we just re-arranged all the duties on our team, and YOU HAVE NO VISITS, SO WHY NOT DO THIS ONE INSTEAD OF ASKING ME TO!? Grr.
She's annoying anyway, but then they put her in a position of privilege (no travel) and semi-authority (reviewing our reports) and it drives me bugfuck.
And the toilet seat cracked. Ugg. So much for a day off.
Yesterday was Nelson Mandela's birthday - his 95th! Here are some stories about how it was celebrated.
Toddson, I saw a lot of coverage regarding his birthday on the news. CJ was shocked that he is that old.
Update on my cousin - her cardiologist released her to go home today, BUT it is "hospital policy" that she stays for 48 hours, so she can't go home until tomorrow. She is feeling well enough to be thouroghly annoyed.

Well, it's the hospital's butt if something weird happens, so I don't blame them. At least at our hospital they have cable, and Hubby likes the food. And outside of the CCU I can smuggle in stuff for him.
Okay, we've had our last Graeter's party, got the forms to fill out to continue our health insurance, I won the disco ball in the what-do-you-want-from-the-kitchen raffle (the microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, electric kettle, and, yes, disco ball) were all either bought by pooled employee money or donated by employees who don't want them back, so people who wanted something put their name in the hat; I only wanted the disco ball, and I didn't even have to kill anyone to get it).
Not crying yet, which I attribute to the Ativan. I got a little choked up when Incompetent!Boss and Chatty left.
Desk is cleaned out, and now I'm just making sure I don't have the iTunes on this computer authorized and deleting any music files or other personal stuff like pictures or wedding planning notes. And deleting browser bookmarks and deleting the SHIT out of brower history and cookies.
And then I should be set to venture forth into unemployment and pick up the rental car so I can get the damn Echo's a/c fixed.
I'd rather not cry when I leave, because I have to drive 25 minutes home, and then to the rental car place before it closes. If I can just store it all up so I can lose it once I get back home for good, that would be swell.
Teppy, I'm sorry this is such a hard day for you, but yay disco ball!
Smonster tons of calm~ma for you. Anxiety attacks are evil.
I just opened the door to check the mail, and not leaving the house today was definitely the right decision.
Oh Tep, I wish you whatever you need to get through the rest of the day.
Kitchen disco ball is awesome.
I took half a Xanax and walked outside with the intention to go do errands. Got about a half a block and came back. Anxiety has me feeling like I can't breathe, and it's 88 outside and super humid. Instant panic attack. I can run errands tomorrow.
In summertime, midnight errand running should be a valid option.
