I just walked the kids to school, and let me tell you, it is fucking cold here. I only wore one pair of (wool) socks, and that was an error.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

I am wearing my coat rated for -45F this morning, which should tell you something about the weather today.
Ugh, traffic. I just want to get to the office so I can eat breakfast and book travel to Ecuador!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also my office is nice and sunny and warm. For now.
Why can I not get one good applicant for this job I'm trying to fill? It's so annoying! The posting says 3-5 years relevant experience, and I am getting people with zero years. Zero! I think half the problem is the title. The other half is that it's a one-year position. But I would have thought there would be someone out there!

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
My plane (which I made by the skin of my teeth, fucking traffic) is sitting on the Tarmac because the water for the sinks is frozen in the pipes. Tubes, whatever.

One year positions are the devil. If I had 3-5 years experience at something, I would only apply for a one-year position if I were desperate.

Yes, it's that time of year when my definition of 'cold' undergoes severe recalibration. Yesterday, barely in the 20s, I wore a t-shirt & a sweater, with a hoodie thrown over it out to the store. Two months ago I would have been bundled like an Eskimo.
(Yes, there were pants and shoes involved.)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It is 15 here, and I am SO HOT!!!
I think the heat in the office has finally kicked in, though.

No imaginary boyfriend showed up, so sadly I am at work.
I think the thing that bugs me most about my boss is that he assumes conspiracy and the worst from people ALL.THE.TIME. And it is all people, his employees, his bosses, his peers - EVERYONE. He sees an action and he makes up (and performs for you) this whole scenario of what the person thought or said to get there - usually involves the person being lazy or wanting to do a favor for someone NOT HIM, or being stupid. So belittling and screwed up.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So belittling and screwed up.
People like that should not be in management. How does that help the company at all?
