I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, digital would still be an improvement over manual in that case, I'm thinking.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

billytea, thank you for saving my hat from my guts. Those were awesome!

Also, I might have grown up to be a more sciencey person if I'd had more teachers like my friend's. Extra credit for anatomy haiku is exactly the kind of thing that would've suckered me in.

The house my brother has a contract on also had stupid-plumbing flooding.

That's 3 houses among 2 households in one week.

One thing about us: once we finish cursing and crawl out of fetal, we bounce. Resent every damned second, but we do it with a vengeance. And snark and self-mockery.

My parents pointed out they had their flood earlier this summer.

That's a lot. One might almost be tempted to say too much.

Y'all! I don't go into the office until 9 tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep in. I'm pretty excited!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So someone just called us trying to scam Cody into believing our computers had been hacked and he needed to let them login remotely to "fix" it. Crazy. One of those social engineering hacks.

Problem with being a physics major and general science geek: I can envision all sorts of scenarios causing my suddenly slow sewage line with the onset of cold as well as solutions cheaper if only I were a more manually functional physics major. Which I am not. Please not a collapsed line. Because I cannot engineer a fix for that, only imagineer.

Yes, I've given up on tomorrow as functional.

Oh for fucks sake. Just got home after a very very long day (working then flying home) to find someone fucking graffitied my garage door. Motherfuckers. I want to kick someone's ass. Ugh. Now I have to deal with this bullshit, which I so don't have time for.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I didn't wake up and immediately start coughing this morning. That took a while, until my lungs were vertical for a while. Still on the cough pills, then, but progress, yes.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Damn meara. If it's like Chicago, you might be able to get the city to take care of it. Particularly if it looks like gang tags.

WTF homeownership this week.

I've got to trash the current filter on the shopvac. I've definitely got a mold reaction going from last night's action (and that filter had only been used for dry stuff previously, but they aren't kidding when they tell you to replace often.)
