Hah, meara! It's ok. It's just a huge PITA. The title insurance will cover it, including the penalties and interest, and going forward it won't be a problem. Nibbled to death by ducks, I tell ya....
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Too many ducks, Maria!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, ugh, Maria.
My bitch of the day is that the new workplace, which is only 20 minutes by car (assuming one has a parking space, which I don't), is 30 minutes by shuttle and 55 minutes by bus, and the shuttles leave only once every 20 minutes (with the direct shuttle not even starting until 7AM), so in order to be there in time to do all the setup needed for the 7:30 Tuesday morning I need to be at the old workplace in time to catch the 5:50 shuttle and be there by 6:33, because 6:53 will be too late. So, knowing my early morning habits, I must be up and at 'em by 4:45 every Tuesday morning, and if I miss that 5:50 I'm fucked.
Not that I haven't gotten up that early regularly before, but back then it was for a performing arts high school and I was filled with hopes and dreams and the absurd fiery energy of teenagerhood, and now I am old and bitter and full of don't wanna.
OTOH, at least I live in SF and this is a once a week thing, whereas if I were one of the Seattle transplants who foolishly bought a house out in Contra Costa 4:45 AM would be tediously normal.
Still, SO DO NOT WANNA.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ugh, Maria.
Also ugh to JZ. It's one thing to choose a longer commute for your own reasons, but to have your workplace move to a less convenient location to the extent that you have to get up at a ridic early hour on the regular is really just unfair.

That is way too early, JZ. Where the heck have they moved you to?? Could you maybe bike there and save time?

JZ, force them to go to webex or whatever online equivalent you use. Seriously, that is serious bullshit.
I'm using that word a lot. Not good.

Ugh Maria, that is a complete PITA. AND it kept you from drinking tonight! Unfair!
I spent the day running around TCB but feeling like I only took care of the smallest parts. Argh. I no longer know how to adult.

I want to bike out and will eventually, but the bike needs a tuneup as well as reflectors and lights and other stuff to make sure I don't get crushed by early drivers, so definitely no way to do it by tomorrow. Maybe next Tuesday, though.
I think it's 25-30 min. by bike, which should be manageable. I'm just concerned that the bike is a speedless, gearless cruiser and there's one serious bastard of a hill, and consequently I must have access to a shower once I get to work or they'll just send my steaming overly-moistened self straight home again.
It's just one day a week, I keep telling myself (the meeting was canceled last week so I had no idea of the uncongenial shuttle schedule until just now).
It's already about halfway online already, but there's also a bunch of unavoidable paperwork which is never, ever ready for processing before Tuesday morning.

Agree that it's an absurd commute, JZ. Ptooey!

JZ Cody rides his bike to work everyday. He ends up stashing a change of clothes at work for when he gets there, but no shower. If you want, you can call him or email me/him and ask about how to make it work.
