If you're comfortable posting the skills, we can try to help you brainstorm.
Jayne: What're you gonna tell the others? Mal: About what? Jayne: About why I'm dead. Mal: Hadn't thought about it. Jayne: Make something up. Don't tell 'em what I did.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks. My cousin just sent me a picture of his truck, and it looks like he hit it multiple times like it bounced around on the ice. Still no word if T is going to have to stay in the hospital overnight. I'm just glad my niece was at school already, and both wasn't in the car and didn't see it.

Our wings are not tired
Except that sitting at a computer is no better. My pain last night was largely the result of sitting at a laptop trying to pick health insurance. Staying in one position for any length of time is not great.
On this front it sounds like you would benefit from a convertible standing/sitting desk, where you can change from working in a sitting position to working standing up as needed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
smonster, I don't have any more advice than "what they said" but I hope you find something better suited to you soon. And also that your roommate moves out and a better one arrives.

Update: T was able to go home with lots of stitches and pain but otherwise okay. My poor niece got so scared when she saw him.
