Because books.

Or make iced tea with my hippie fruit tea.

I thought of you today, Steph -- we're going to start carrying locally made kombucha!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Right on!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Now I'm contemplating if I should go buy decaf for the sole purpose of making some cold-brew

That's what I'm doing this weekend! Next week I will be taste testing cold brewed TJ's decaf against freshly ground Stumptown decaf made in a French press to evaluate whether I should change my daily coffee making system. My job really should harness more of my potential for this sort of thing.

I'm feeling petulant and my desire to do any work approximately is negative eleventy billion.

Me too! For no particular reason, though. Unless my knee being sore and everything being hard count as reasons.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Monday was a holiday, but I've spent three of the four working days this week in SOFTWARE PRESENTATIONS. They are FINALLY done ... about 2:00 today I reached the "kill me now" point, but now I'm done, I'm going home at my official quitting time, meeting a friend for coffee, going home to an air conditioned apartment, and getting my hair done tomorrow morning. yay!

Me too! For no particular reason, though.

I am applying coffee and music to try and lift my bad mood. I officially have too much work to avoid it, which I guess is a good thing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am getting shit done! Sadly, my Sunday deadline will actually be met on Sunday, but I think with just an hour of work at home. (I need feedback from someone who is busy...)

But jesus, am I cranky! Not enough sleep, and trying to train a new person is killing me.

The work I have to do is either waiting for feedback to decide how to proceed or just too big for me to get my head around right now. Or that damn presentation that is kind of both those things. But I may have found something I can do?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Once of the big library database companies also is in the sport-fishing industry. Companies are weird.

ahahaha, was it EBSCO? They also owned a pecan processing plant and about a zillion other weird industries.

Also, I've had this stack of Beer Advocate magazines I've been trying to get around to reading. I pulled out the next one up and who's picture should I see in the contributors page? Our very own Nora!

Yay! I should have something coming out in the June issue as well about NOLA Brewing. Also I'm on the beer tasting panel in this month's All About Beer and have a feature in either the August or September issue of AAB as well.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

This weekend is the Washington Folk Festival. Weather forecast is typical for the festival- hot and humid, with a possibility of showers Sunday afternoon.

Also, we are going to the Rush concert tomorrow night. Music weekend!

Whee, Sheryl!
