Because books.

Really? I just want to wear dresses or yoga pants every single day.

Sara had these Land's End dresses two years ago -- loose, smock-like, long-sleeved, full skirt. I wish they had them for me. I put on so much weight over the summer, I have precisely one pair of pants (jeans) that are comfortable enough to actually wear.

Woman Within is terrific. The petite length is wonderful, I got a skirt that fit that was the perfect length. I may have to measure my inseam and just risk a pair of pants. And then I'll risk buying a bra.

Project File All The Things has moved on from actual boxes full of Things to the top of my desk. No bodies yet.

I'm throwing away my parking citations from 2010, since they're all paid....

Happy birthday, aurelia!

I waited until close to the last minute to get my emissions check. I went to the place I've been going to for the last several years, but its machine wasn't working. The guy gave me a coupon for a reduced price at another, less convenient, location. I went there and found the truck didn't pass because I haven't put enough miles on it since the new alternator. I theoretically can look up how many miles it takes for it to reset, but I need to find the paperwork for the alternator to find out what the mileage was. So I'm organizing the paper in my office. Sigh.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I had a non talk with Ed about concerns about boss lady that I wouldn't give him the specifics of yet, because I wanted the chance to address them directly with her like a mature adult first. But I wanted to give him a heads up that there was discontentment and would go to him next if I'm not able to resolve it and have it known that there are issues. Which led him to say "speaking of which". Seems he's a little nervous about where her loyalties lie in respect to the org and the recently fired DD. Not good.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Happy Birthday Aurelia!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Happiest of b-days, Aurelia!

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I have completed an onerous task by making a phone call to tell customer support, "Yo, dog, it's been 20 days and you still haven't refunded my money."

And now I am being refunded. I should've called earlier, but I think the customer support person was glad I wasn't yelling at her because it was a lot of money.
