this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I need a IV Vodka Valium, stat. Push 2 cc's of Fukitol.

I'll take that, please.

No, I really would have a drink right now if I didn't have so much work for Client #2 to finish, and I know I can't edit with a buzz.

Okay, it's not a drink, but I finally caved and took 1/2 a percocet I had squirreled away, because my back has been intermittently killing me for 2 weeks. Usually it eases up as the day goes on (I suspect due to moving around and loosening stuff up), but not today. Ibuprofen and tylenol might as well be Skittles. (As long as they're sour Skittles, the zenith of Skittle achievement.)

So I may be heading into loopy territory any time now.

(Yes, I need to do the PT exercises for my back that I learned when I *really* hurt it back in...2008? 2009? But right now I just need it to stop hurting so dang much first.)

Hope it helps, Teppy! I went to bed early last night with a headache, then scared the hell out of my sister and BIL by waking up at 3AM, realizing I needed medication and it was downstairs, and then trying to traverse the stairs with a baby gate that was not there during the day, and inadvertently knocking things off the staircase. Oops. BIL apparently freaked out for a second thinking I was a burglar, sister apparently was afraid I fell down and killed myself. :) (Good news: the drugs worked)

I cannot convince myself to do more work today. My attitude is the worst. It's not like I don't have the spoons, since I'm catching up on my history course this afternoon. I'm just full up with IDGAF.

All right, you guys. I'm forcing myself to respond to a couple of emails. I am totally earning the peanut butter cookie I already ate!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The replacement debit card has arrived, and is activated. Yay. One of my Comixology subscriptions got inactivated, and I had to fix that.

I feel the pain. The only day that I have not worked at least two hours on my "vacation" is Christmas.

Good news is that I had a phone interview a few weeks ago, they followed up to say that they like me, but weren't sure that they could pay me what I wanted. I said it was negotiable, but their budget for the position was very much at the low end of the scale for the job. Realistically, as long as I don't have to take a pay cut, I'm still in it.

I didn't know you were looking, Vortex. Good luck!

Man, why does sitting at a desk working on spreadsheets all day wear me out so much? The plan was to go for my second test run tonight, but that is not happening.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Work was so boring. Blah.
