The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need to fix up my tattoos too.

Hey, it is finally Friday! What are people doing this weekend?

eta: I am probably going to spend most of it recovering from this week, which has been brutal workwise, but I also have a gardening project in mind for Sunday, and a bunch of little chores and errands.

Punishingly Intricate

Atlantic City for the day with a bus load of crazy people to celebrate my friend's 50 th birthday. I can't figure out what to wear!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm afraid I'm going to be sick this weekend, but we'll see if I can go to the beach tomorrow. Then also housework. No real plans!

I am working 8-6 tomorrow. (I am off today.) Sunday we might be going to my niece's birthday party (we only got invited yesterday, it is nearly 2 hours away, and Dillo gets barfy in cars, hence the maybeness.)

I have my choir's big kickoff weekend, so that will take up most of the day Saturday and a good chunk of Sunday afternoon as well. Otherwise, I don't know. Hmm. Rose is definitely at the age where she's bored just sitting around the house all weekend, so we need to come up with some more fun stuff to do with her. Zoo, park, library, farmer's market... what else?

flea,

can you give Dillo the wristbands? They really help me with carsickness.

Give him a sock.

Steph, I confused myself with your comment. First I was like, "masturbation reference?" then I was like "Potterverse elf freeing?" I am perhaps too tired.

I have folded all the clothes. I hate when there are multiple full baskets. I also hate when you are folding and you have a full set completed already and you look at the basket and realize you have just gotten to where the clothes are level with the basket's edge.

I work, allegedly, a 6 hour day. Or that's what I get paid for -- so I am contractually obligated to be at work from the hours of 7:52 - 3:29 with 25 minutes for lunch. You will notice that that's not 6 hours, but closer to 6 hours 30 minutes. This does not include all of the other loads of shit I do when I am not on the clock for those hours.

In other news, the gardeners just showed up so my dog is flipping out. I just want a nap which seems unlikely now.

My work day is 9-6 with an unpaid hour lunch. Due to the unanticipated suckiness of our latest release and the clusterfuck that is large companies upgrading to said latest release, I haven't gotten a lunch break of any sort in 2 months. Oh, but they bring in lunch for us to eat at our desks while we work! How generous! Free food because they appreciate us! No, free food because it's illegal not to let your employees eat at mealtimes, even in right to work states. There are people here who have never gotten the full hour lunch, due unwillingness/inability to get new people who will stay.

Certain supervisors will just blink at you in legitimate confusion and say, "But you're getting overtime. And free food. What else do you want?" Oh, I don't know, a freaking break? My nemesis criticized me for my lack of a sense of urgency the other day. Dude, my urgency in getting back to a single customer is not goign to change the fact that there are 23 people waiting in the phone queue with wait times of an hour and half. Perhaps you could harrass the couple of dozen other people in the room doing the exact same job I am?

I would enjoy seeing him eaten by zombies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hopefully this weekend I will have my house cleaned (9AM on a Saturday! Dumb idea! Do Not Repeat!) and see a movie and draw the fuck out of everything.
