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.

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

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.

Now I want cupcakes and I've already had way too many TJ's cocoa truffles that someone at work put in our mail room. I was planning on making red velvet cupcakes for work tomorrow, but now I think I'm going to pass.

Got an extra pat down at Security even though I went through the scanner. Not sure what THAT was about.

I really want a milkshake, but it's snowing again. Ice cream shops should deliver.
