Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

ita, sincerest sympathy.

I went to a JavaScript meetup, but I felt too intimidated to actually do any meeting. It didn't help that I only understood about half of the one presentation.

Gah! I think I've lost my work ID and key. I thought it was home for the last few days because I discovered Oz peed on my bag on Monday and hastily had to switch bags. But now I cannot find it here at home.

It probably wouldn't be a big deal if the office manager who controls these things wasn't such a tyrant. But I probably will never hear the end of this, and I don't know if they'll give me a key back, even though I am a fire warden.

ita, I'm so damn sorry about the job. That's a a lot of shit.

There's a correlation between how little I sleep (regardless of whether I feel tired or not) and how slow I swim. Pretty sure there is a causation in there too. Oof.

Because books.

That's so annoying, Sue. Not to mention the cat pee.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

ita, I'm really sorry to hear that. It most prodigiously sucks. I hope you find something jaw-gapingly fantastic!

ita, all the job~ma in the world to you.

ION, I may actually get hired at the insurance company I've been temping at for the last 2 years. It is most decidedly NOT an ideal job but it is the only one I've been offered in the 6 years since I move here. So, I will take it.

Oh yeah! I really need the giggles. And I want to see the canine-feline negotiations! As much as I wish I could run away from work (so convenient!) it's actually really hard to do of late. Makes me nuts.
