Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well, I don't need to look, but for Maria and others. I really wouldn't do well in a non-central office setup.

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

I decided to have dinner and then red wine & chocolate, if anyone was in suspense about my wine choice.

I thought you should have started with white wine and then worked your way to the red wine and chocolate course.

Perhaps finishing with some port.

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

I am holding on by such a fine thread right now I don't know if it can be called holding on. Why do I have to call the pharmacy that supplies the IV meds and tell them they need to page the doctor at 5pm on a Friday, not wait for a fax to be returned? Why do I have to call them and tell them they need a new prescription? WHY DO THEY IGNORE THAT UNTIL 4:45?

I am about to blow, or collapse, except I need to work this until it's resolved. I'm clearly the only one that cares.

That does sound delightful. Next time. Although the truffles are gone, now. I am currently considering a decaf Irish coffee as a nice balance of staying awake to watch TV now and being able to fall asleep easily later. I'm not sure that will work like I want, but it might be worth trying anyway.

OH! I forgot to mention, one of my accomplishments this week (I feel like I have been super productive at work lately, whether that is warranted or not) was signing up for a doubles ping-pong tournament. My partner and I agreed we can both play badly and that's fine, and the co-worker that is running the tournament says she will take us under her wing on breaks to make sure we know the rules and get some practice. Should be fun!

Oh, crap, ita, I am so sorry! Fuck. I wish I could help.

I am in enough pain now that I expect to be relatively laid out for the weekend. Not working Monday isn't an option, hospital isn't an option, there really aren't options.

But I can barely even hold a conversation like an adult.

Oh, ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, ita. Good luck.
