If I find out they will take in non original cases, I will first see if I can find them via free cycle here. You might try that where you are, you know, save on postage and transportation costs.

Oh, no, tommyrot! How awful.

Vending machine Hot Pocket was not satisfying at all.

Yipes, tommyrot!

Also yipes Maria! That's gonna be... interesting. Agree that a drink is in order.

Also fingers crossed on Dublin, because Dublin.

I am overwhelmed today. Too many little things to take care of, and the big things are still on the back burner.

I could Freecycle. Didn't occur to me! You said, "I need this," and my brain went "I have that!" and that was as far as I got.

I am not repeatedly smashing my head into my desk. This is a good thing.

Pro tip: Don't be managing editor on a digital publishing project without making sure you're the person giving the authors their guidelines for packaging the material before it comes to you. Also, if you can avoid becoming literally the only member of your department's staff, that would be good, too.

Oh, man, tommyrot, that sounds terrible.

Left work, got home fine after just missing the bus, went to the supermarket and made the cashier's day when I thanked her for being there, and shoveled off the front steps. Now I'm waiting for the neighbor to finish snow blowing and I'm going to try to scrape down the sidewalk again.

Aw, one of my co-workers just came walking around the cubicles offering everyone GS cookies. Sometimes people are okay.

I really should put in some overtime and catch up on some of the too much work on my desk right now, but I'm so tired I could cry, so I don't think I will. I don't even know why, my phone says I slept well last night.

Yeah but how does the phone know these things?

I find it best not to question the phone. It knows all.
