My monitor is broken. I can't use my PC. Luckily I use it for unattended purposes as well (monitors for ahems to upload) and I can still do that.
Tuesday I had a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. I left my house keys in the car in the downstairs parking lot. During the appointment, the pain escalated so much that he sent me to urgent care. Who sent me to the ER. By the time I got out between 1 and 2, parking was locked, and I forgot anyway until I got home.
Polgara wasn't accessible, so I finally worked out to call Burrell and they sheltered and fed me. at 7 or so am I got another Uber to the car, and the parking lot was open, with no overages in charge! The goal was to make it home before 8, because I had two calls loosely scheduled before my 9:30.
Didn't make it home until well after 8, but didn't have to take the call in the car, thankfully. And then they delayed the interview until 11, so a lot of wasted agitas. BUT I got to watch SPN before it, which helped with the rabbiting heart trying to climb out my throat.
Now....waiting game.
Never mind I just had to leave after my procedure this morning AMA and in tears. It already hurts. This wasn't supposed to be this soon. And fuck you, medical centre, it's perfectly reasonable to have no one to pick you up. COME ON.
It is DUMPING ice from the sky right now. Like, really heavy wet hail.
flea, I *just* texted Tim "Wintry snow-sleet-ice mix!" It's so loud against the windows.
Tonight is our office holiday party, which I always dread because I never know what to do with myself at parties. I dressed up, but the dress I'm wearing is riding up on my tights, and the heels that normally are really comfortable don't seem to be working with the tights, either.
I'm wondering if this is a sign that maybe I should just skip the party and do some online power-shopping for Christmas instead, and go to bed early.
I don't miss the awkwardness of the company holiday party, but I do miss the outrageously decadent meal. Best scallops I've ever had were at a company holiday party one year.
Ours too. I am hoping not to stay too long.
Ugh ita, that's more than enough for one week! And we were happy to help out, really. As you saw, Franny didn't even wake up! Oh how I wish I could sleep like that.
Just hearing or reading the word cues it, Burrell.
So glad I have company in my Life Is A Musical! world. To wit: I spent the last two days singing "Singing in the Rain."
I wish LinkedIn recruiters would spam me - that job I thought I had last month has almost certainly fallen through (they just stopped returning my emails - boo) and so I'm just blindly stabbing in the dark for anything that looks like I could be good at it. My current job is a soul-sucking mess and I spend way more hours yelling "FUCK OFF" at my inbox than is probably good for my mental health.
The only part of a company party I look back fondly on is the Giant Bowl of Shrimp at the company before last. Every year, they'd say, "We going to have to cut back on the cost of the party," and we'd all think, "Not the shrimp! Anything but the shrimp!"
I always wanted a company holiday party like the one in Desk Set.
