Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Argh. I have a migraine and can't take more meds for 3 more hours. It's pretty much from the weather, but my super-power isn't controlling the weather, so I can't do anything about that.

(Honestly, I haven't had a bad migraine, or one that lasted for longer than 12 hours, since my doctor increased my BP meds in December. So I know I'm pretty lucky. But this one is definite kicking-my-face-and-inner-ear pain and it's pissing me off.)

Maybe painting my toenails will help. What drives away migraines? Dark blue?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Strawberry seeds are the worst. They are mitigating my enjoyment of my smoothie. I could strain it, I guess, but then that's more work, which just makes me more annoyed at the seeds.

And don't get me started on blackberries.

Edit: Okay, migraines are worse than strawberry seeds.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But are they as bad as raspberry seeds? Unclear!

Really don't get me started on raspberries. Nasty fruit that contaminates everything. The number of people that ruin perfectly good chocolate with raspberry...

Allergies + weather-related migraine = UGH. I feel you Steph.

I worked from home yesterday and I came in late today. My inbox is too explodey. I'm losing track of what I need to follow up on, and I'm trying to convince myself that I'm not being a failboat if I really am just that busy.

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

I hate work e-mails that open with "Just a friendly reminder..."

I have a phone interview for a bizarre-sounding "Learn Python on the job" scheme -- I checked and it's a legitimate recruiter, so who knows? I'd love to learn Python (programming language, not Monty) and would be good at it, too.

My experience in the job market makes me tend to be leary of such a good-sounding setup, but occasionally you strike gold. Or maybe it will be that the guy might have other leads. SIGH.

In the meantime, I'm still chugging my way through Wordpress tutorials on Lynda.com. If anybody wants some free WP work, let me know, I need to build a portfolio.

Because books.

Oh. Sad. But good luck!

OK, that's where you're wrong.

The solution here is that Dana can just give me all her raspberries and uncooked tomatoes and everybody stays happy.
