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

That sounds great, Scrappy! And Consuela.

My excitement for today - I have an item that was ordered over forecast by 123 units which also puts the shipping percentage at 123%

I take my fun where I find it.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

In the drama that is my family life, the oldest child of my parents got busted for shoplifting a bottle of wine. Apparently in between something and something else, he had the leeway to steal another bottle of wine (something about the cops giving him a chance to turn himself in to another police station and posting $60 bail). My poor mother.

Scrappy that sounds like a great view!

Connie, just here for a brief work trip, leaving again tomorrow night

Ah, you'll miss the cold rain. Lucky you.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I had a phone interview that didn't suck -- such that the guy said "we will get back to you" which sounds hopeful. I could really use a break.

ION, pending my background check (which should be good, I just passed a CORI for volunteering at the high school) I am approved as an Uber driver, which means I might be able to bring in some money, even if not full time. My plan is to drive mostly in the mornings when people have to get to work and such. We'll see how it goes....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's cool, Theodosia.

Yay views and cash-acquiring side jobs!

Even faster tonight! New post slump record, with 40 laps under a minute. 57@56:05.56

My shoulder is borked, but I slept weird on it and my bra did it no favors. And yet, still faster. Slowest lap was faster than my weekend average. Almost squeaked it under 59, even. If I hadn't botched a few turns, would have done it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh, Juliebird, ugh.

Yay for the good interview, Theo!

It is just getting dark and I just got the DH to take both of the kids out of the house (he lured one out earlier but the other wasn't budging), so now it is just me, a glass of wine, and grading. Even grading looks promising under those circumstances.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I got to the office early this morning, then remembered that the thing I needed to be early for is actually tomorrow. Not a great start to the day. But, at least I used the extra time to get some stuff done, and so I'll have some more free time this weekend, maybe.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My new iPhone arrived today, about a week early. That will probably be the most exciting thing to happen to me all month.

Can someone send me a text to xxx xxx xxxx? I'm not sure texting is working.

Nebermind, it's working. Except I'm not getting texts for Google's two-factor authentication.
