That is ridiculous, msbelle. And Burrell.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
After last week's dip into early spring temps, summer seems to be coming on strong. And with the heat and humidity, we get thunderstorms. Whee.

Somehow I've managed not to fall asleep at my desk and I've accomplished a small handful of tasks. In an effort to, like, actually get better sleep, I'm installing screen brightness apps on my phone and tablet to add more red when it's dark outside. I'll download one for my PC as well once I get home.
Also, I may have just ordered Avengers socks on Amazon because I needed my order to be above $25 to get an add-on item.

Good call on the socks.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Relevant to the recent weather conversation. I came home today to an e-mail from Mom asking me if we got the predicted storm. I responded that I managed to step out of the car just as it began to pour buckets. She responded with a somewhat urgent, "Are you alright?" I resisted responding sarcastically.

Second day at the new job and I'm not drowning yet. Got lost in the cafeteria after getting coffee; I walked around and around it (all the modules converge around it, so there are four exit points that link to each other along the diagonal) until I finally figured out I needed to follow the signs to K module.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good job, Sail! And don't worry if it gets worse before it gets better. I figure a new job takes three months, anyway, to even figure out.

Oh, yeah. Three months to discover all the basics and master them, then another three to fine tune it. First year is developing as many timesaving processes as possible, because people.

All my electronics now have orange-red tones because it's after sunset. It's weird and will take some getting used to, but since it takes little to no effort I may as well roll with it and see if it helps.
