Make sure "Re-write to-do list" is the first thing on the list; that way you can immediately cross it off and feel a sense of accomplishment.
I like the way you think.
Sorry about the bump, tommy, but glad for no damage or injury.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dammit, I forgot! But I did do one thing while getting the list together, so that's something.

I don't even want to write a to do list for work right now. It's all headaches and despair.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm watching Mythbusters episodes on Netflix, and in this one they're testing how easy it is to actually take candy from a baby. It's hilarious. These kids look so betrayed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My boss just replied to an email from me by insinuating that I don't know what my job is or how to do a simple thing I've been doing for years. It's also clear that she didn't read my email enough to even know what my concern was, not that that's a new thing with her. I am furious. I've deleted my first two responses; hopefully my third won't get me fired.

Ugh, Zenkitty. Those would be the times when (physical location permitting) I yell "FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU" while typing what I hope is a very diplomatic email.

Sadly I have done this many times. Ugh.

The email I sent was more diplomatic than the ones I didn't send, but I'm not sure it was essentially diplomatic. It takes me a few tries to get the vitriolic sarcasm out. She hasn't responded yet.

Hah. I had a call this morning from a matrix report who got a one am email last night from a VIP saying "I'm used to [prior person in your role] being able to do this for me."
She's not doing it for you because you said many times over the last few weeks that you didn't need her help. Now its due Tuesday and she's booked up. Deal with it.
