My work email has been completely down since yesterday evening. It's weirdly freeing? But also nervous-making.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
Ace has lots of great non-measure-for stuff, though, like Mason jars with regular lids and flashlights and all that. I like hardware stores a little too much, I think.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We just had to get Netflix to kick someone in the UK off our streaming account. And yes, we then changed the password.
But that's like the weirdest, least harmful bit of identity theft ever. "I will hack into your Netflix account and...watch The Hunger Games!"

How did you even know they were doing it?

Our streaming account has a limit of two devices, and we usually have one playing on the TV while my husband half-watches another on his laptop (because he is weird). So it told us we had too many devices running, and that one was an Android tablet (which we don't have) playing a show the US streaming site doesn't have access to.

I will be so happy when I wrap this project up. I'd like to burn it to the ground.
This time, the problem was one of our own making But it wouldn't have happened if they didn't have so many exceptional cases not designed for an automated system.
God I hate this project.

And supposedly I'm being issued a new credit card and account # (citibank security issues), but it hasn't gotten here yet and I'm paranoid.
And stupid SF hasn't acknowledged my request to enroll in the low-mileage program and it had been almost 3 weeks. I don't know if I need to fire my agent or wonder if the device was stolen from my mail. I think it might be the former. How do you fire an agent, but keep the insurance? (I inherited him when my old one retired.) Why do I even need an agent in this day and age???
Nibbled to death by toothy ducks.

I am in agreement on the duck nibbling thing.
So today's weird moment -- I was at a teacher workshoppy thing for the teacher of the year stuff. Everyone who spoke talked about how the essays had to be deep and personal and how they had to make people cry.
Dude. That's not my wheelhouse at all. Maybe I shouldn't bother with the next step.
