Guys, my house is starting to look SO GOOD. There's some in-progress pics on Facebook. This dark grey, light grey, white trim and wainscotting is so elegant and pretty.
God DAMN, I don't want to move.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Can I just say that YESTERDAY was such a stressful mess for me, but then there was this one moment of Awesome! that got me through the rest of it. Awesome = msbelle cookies! Little package of love in the mail. So great! So yum!
Thank you, msbelle!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We've sent the author the form, and THREE TIMES he has forwarded us a copy of the email he sent to the other journal requesting permission.
I know this pain SO WELL. What part of "[News organization] does not accept emails as 3rd party releases, please fill out and sign this form." is hard to understand?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
You made me smile just now.
I spent 1.5 days offsite, sitting with ppl learning their parts of the big process and how our parts work together, then had my review this morning, then 2 webex trainings. Done. Review was fine. Being offsite was kinda nice, but wow is the atmosphere tense at our corporate headquarters. Webexes were kinda stupid.
I want a nap, but none coming and this is my Saturday to work, so no sleeping in then either.

Also delicious for dunking in tea btw!
That sounds like a day of mild onerosity, msbelle. I hate web training programs like whoa.

I'm sitting in a taxi wishing I'd left earlier because traffic is terrible. My work inbox is a giant mess and I have stuff I need to do this evening, so who knows how much sleep I'll get with a 4am wake up. But at least I'll be on vacation for a couple of days?

I forgot to tell you all about my wakkadoodle dream last night. There was some Table Talk F2F thing happening and I was going, so already 2 weird things. And then Charles Krauthammer was there, in the dream he was a poster we all knew. He was creeptastic and grabbed my hand in way that he somehow knew would trigger a panic attack. And I flipped out like a mammal and had all this security response. Crazy. I did have cool tiny little car in the dream like a cross between a smart car and a vw bug.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Having a cupcake for lunch. It's a good thing I'm not a role model.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
They are giving us a cupcake party this afternoon. I have a sneaking suspicion they are also going to show us the final plans for the new building, and the cupcakes are there to make the staff feel less completely screwed, which won't work, but still, cupcakes.
