I've downgraded myself from a towering fury to a sullen cranky pants. It's the kind of day where you're a butterfingers and get paper cuts and have a very tall man squash you on the bus, and things generally don't go your way.
The data wipe on my old XP machine finished around 4:30am, so I wrestled that heavy beast into my purple suitcase and brought it into work for recycling. Man, why is getting rid of things so arduous?
But now that I've got almost all of my old electronics out of the apartment, the next thing I need to do is get rid of the books I don't want.
I kind of love the Google home page today
The underwater street view is hilarious.
I am slowly losing my mind hearing 2 different broadcasts.
Oh yeah -- that makes me lose my mind quickly.
The contractor at the house to the north has started using a circular saw, so now I just have a radio to the south and bzzzzz bzzzzzz bzzzzzz from the north. Also the sound of our dryer from the basement. It's all blurring together now.
Ugh Steph, I hope you get the chance to run away soon.
That sounds like aural torture, Steph.
Can you write off noise-canceling headphones as a business expense?
We've reached that point post-moving where everything is still kind of chaotic, there's a truly staggering amount of work to do, and we're exhausted just thinking about it. I took today off because Casper is home sick with a spring cold and I am mostly just wandering around the house and sighing.
In, I guess, good news, we're paying off our car May 1? So we can divert that money into house fixing funds.
Having a paid off car is good news.
I keep thinking "Oh, finally, caught up" and then realizing that no, I am not. But I'm going to bail in about an hour anyway and go eat sushi with my mom (sorry, Lee, I could not manage it on a weekend and the voucher expires Friday, but I will report back if it is a must to try)
I am in the 9th circle of hell. Mandatory WebEx business writing course. I *know* all of this stuff. Homonyms, active v. passive, who v. whom, insure v. ensure, etc. This is painful.
Oh, crap, Maria. That would drive me insane.
I love the TJs mozzarella and tomato salad, but it has enough lettuce stuffed into the container to make it impossible to toss in the dressing without dumping some of it onto my desk. harumph.
