I so envy people who get tossed new and complicated situations and are excited by the opportunity rather than horrified at the potential for catastrophe.
Or who at the very least can say it with a straight face.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ugh. I've been dealing with the fact that apparently sometime in early August I had a complete brain meltdown and didn't even realize it? I sent a bunch of letters with big errors (like the wrong date of what the letter was about), no signatures, or completely forgot to send them (which is a big deal, both of those things, because our signatures are digital, so if you do it late, it says "signed on [date after the thing you were sending the letter about already happened]"). Normally I don't do this at ALL, and instead i had I think FOUR different instances where I had to be like "Um, hi, can you also file this revised version?"

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Getting readjusted to being back a)in this time zone and b) at work. So far so good.

Oh, meara, ugh. Yeah, sometimes you look at yourself and wonder if there's a multiple personality taking control occasionally.

Always Anti-fascist!
I feel like that when I look at my Netflix queue. I was aiming for sort of a modern style, but I sort of ran out of money and it looks like it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Note to self: more responsibility means they like you. It is not the universe saying "Let's give her another opportunity to fail and look like an idiot."
AhHAHAHHA oh god yes welcome to my brain. "Client is in crisis mode and we're coming up with a plan, OH, LET'S SAY TODAY, to deal with it, and Amy can take the lead on this."
Umm, thanks? Because I know what they mean by this but oh my god from where I'm sitting it looks like FAIL NOW! FAIL MY PRETTIES! FAAILLLLL!!!!!

Technically I guess my style is, "Is it broken to the point where I can no longer use it? If not, I don't have the spoons to give a shit."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My "halloo, UCLA!" phone call today won me a second in person interview on Wednesday, at 11. Be thinking well of me, as well as my doctor's appointment tomorrow so I won't be in undue pain during it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Much luck for both days, ita!
One of my meetings went long by an hour, another got moved to Friday, and the third went long by 20 minutes. Not much actual work got done by me today. But, hey, I was super chatty in the last meeting, that's probably good.
