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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Weather's been nice this week. They're talking about rain for tomorrow. Of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am sad. I found the last Cost Market Plus Whatever Adirondack chair in the Los Angeles area, and *purchased* it to find out it can't fit in my car assembled. Now I have to do actual shopping to find one. Pfah. I wanted it for tomorrow.

I survived the Registry even though my wait was closer to 45 minutes than the 30 predicted, but given that it's close to the end of the month and all, I won't complain. And now I won't be driving on expired insurance or expired registration, so I feel like I'm slowly coming out of the extended funk I've been stuck on for the past couple of weeks....

(My new boss has discovered I can word good. Now I'm apparently writing emails for the intern as well as website copy. I think I've performed poorly if it's taken him this long to work it out--but when he handed me the web pages on Wednesday and explained his goals and asked for a review, apparently everyone fell in love with it. Come on! I have an "excellent presentation" award from the CIO pinned up in my cubicle. It's my not-so-stealth differentiator.)
(My previous manager thought I was pretty incompetent when it came to communication...)
Right! Grab the fruit salad for late lunch and back to the presentation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had that problem with a coffee table (and my parents' car). It was so sad! But I'm really happy with the one I have, and that one really would have been too big for the space. I hope your chair situation works out as well!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Anyone have suggestions on how to get a drawer unstuck? It's a wooden drawer in a wooden cabinet. It doesn't have runners or anything -- just the plain rectangular drawer stuck in a slot. And it's stuck. I'm not sure if it's that the heat expanded the wood, or what, but I can't watch a DVD or play Wii without the remote that's in the drawer. It's a nice cabinet, so I don't want to ruin the wood in the process of unsticking the drawer.

Because books.
Anything that will cool it down will help, but it's usually heat. My desk drawers wouldn't open until we had the desk in A/C for a few days, after getting it out of storage.
