Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Listen to the cookie!! Or don't -- that does sound like a wacky way to handle being asked for too much money. But what do I know?

The weather is really horrifying here. I'm trying to decide how much time to leave to get where I'm going after work, because I bet many many buses will be too full to get on. Maybe taking the subway (the long way around) is actually a better choice today.

Jess, that is totally my nightmare about salary negotiations. Ugh! Here's hoping they respond well to the flexibility line.

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

Oh, yeah, that is the scary part of not undervaluing yourself.

ETA: I get stressed out pricing things for garage sales. Pricing my time/labor is so much worse.

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

Back track away, Jessica, and good luck! I hope it's a match.

I was not trying to say you have issues!

Pretty sure I'm the one who said it

You are fine!!!

Land of the Drama Llamas, trust me.

I just read that tonight is the earliest sunset of the year! (For the next couple of weeks, sunrise gets later.) So that's nice.

That is nice! Good excuse for a glass of wine at sunset, anyway.

I think I might try to establish taking a little walk at sunrise, even if it is just a few minutes in the parking lot. When it's NOT the middle of winter I can do sunrise on the harbor, which is very pleasant, and if I can establish the habit while it's not so pleasant it should be that much easier to keep it up. Right?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

BS at work. This is the stuff that makes me crazy.

There is a process I do every so often, sometimes multiple times a day. Like today. Today I have done 3 so far, about to do a 4th.

For one of them, I get an email from the ppl at corporate office, that do the rest of the processing, that said "per our policy" this thing you submitted needs to have these 5 things.

Now, never ever have I provided all that they listed. Moreover, what they called My piece is not what it is called on anything I see so I had no idea what they were talking about. Moreover moreover, one of the things they listed is not called what they called it.

Like in the software we use, the piece of info is called X and they said I needed to provide W.

Aggravated.
