Embrace the Fuck Them! They do not deserve you.

I miss ita too. I check in by text every so often to make sure she is okay.

I also miss ita lots. And remember that last night I had a dream that she came back and was telling us why she'd been gone and it was very very weird. I don't remember what it was in the dream but something akin to "I was being chased by mobsters" or something. Very weird.

(And yes, he does like black turtlenecks specifically because of Steve Jobs.)

Ooh. That IS a horrible legacy, Steve.

So I can't even use righteous anger to fuel searching for another job because, right now, I'm like "who'd want me."

Oh what an awful feeling, lisa! I'm sure it's not true and you ROCK and many people would be lucky to have you. But dang, how discouraging. :(

Those motherfuckers! How dare they! And what else were you supposed to you? You did everything! Fuck em in the ear, is what.

YES! Jesse knows.

I also have the iPhone 4S and am kinda not wanting to upgrade. Partly because then I'd have to buy all new cords with the stupid new charger thing.

I'm having nutella and bananas on toast for breakfast, with coffee. Then I will contemplating shoveling my walk--we had like, 2" of snow in Seattle! It's madness! People had to abandon their cars on their way home. I'm hoping it'll melt soon, because what I really wanted to do was go to Target and the mall, but not if the roads are awful. It's already too late for the "go to an early movie that's cheap" part of the idea.

I have dog-walked (and narrowly escaped getting a ticket from the cops staking out the park)

Why would they ticket you??

Off leash. We came round the corner and she tore off onto the baseball field while the cop was already approaching a friend of mine to give her a ticket. So I just got yelled and snarked at.

Aww, glad you didn't get ticketed.

I cannot brane today. I think the shower will help, but I probably just need an actual nap. But today is really my last "free" day before the SO gets home from tour and I really want to get my decluttering projects done before he gets home. Plus next weekend we're going to have guests, so I should probably make it so you can see the floor in the guestroom before then.

And so much work to do. Argh.

I would like to watch something on the NBC website that isn't Olympics, but NBC's website has little interest in actually playing it.

Ha, it's on Hulu! Screw you, NBC, for...licensing your content to Hulu! That'll show you.

Yeah, you tell 'em, Dana!

So impressed by this lady who is one of the ones the AOL guy was calling out re "we can't pay you 401ks because SOME PEOPLE had distressed babies that were expensive"--she wrote an article in Slate about it. What a SHITTY position to be put in--like their lives haven't been tough enough the past year, now her husband has to work with a bunch of folks who are being led to blame him and her?? While the CEO quadruples his pay? What an asshole.

Happy birthday, Suzi!

I have laundry going and soup bubbling away. That, plus watching televised sports on tv, will probably be the extent of today's accomplishments.

meara, I just saw that article. Bully for her, especially for pointing out that AOL had really good profits this year (and thus no reason to cut back their 401K). I know that startup capital is really important for businesses and this is why we have investors, but I really get resentful about the way shareholders are prioritized over the people who are actually making the business run on a day-to-day basis. Like, there ought to be employee representation on the board to point out the impacts their decisions would have on employee welfare and retention.

In other news, I have finished my editing project. Now I need to get off my ass, climb out of these sweats, put on a bra, walk the dogs, visit my dad, compile paperwork, and go to a vid party (we're watching Festivids). And then go to bed extra early so I can pick up Dad at 5AM to go to the hospital for his surgery.

ARGH.

(Am glad you all knew which of the "you"s in my earlier post was supposed to be "do.")

Curtains hung! I forgot I do have one more thing on the to-do list, and that is wash the old curtains I took down. Meh.
