Timelies all!
All of a sudden we're getting fall weather. I'm not ready.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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

msbelle, sorry for the suck.
I'm feeling like I'm pissing off coworkers and I'm not sure how much is reality, how much is we're ALL crabby, how much is my pisspoor attitude, etc. We're in a frustrating place and I'm resentful as hell for reasons that have nothing to do with them. (Though when you put in for another 2 weeks of vacation right after taking 3 weeks when I had to be backup for you and one other and you aren't part of the fucked over contract? Not on my good side. Not backing you up. If boss shits brick, it is not my problem. She can cover. She approved it, knowing full well.)

JFC, I almost forgot to pay a cc bill. For $11.01. I'm way too scattered.

My mantra these days is "Let me get through October 10th. Let me get through October 10th. Let me get through October 10th". October 10th is the ARP Silent Auction. It is also the day CJ can get off team suspension (if he grades continue to hold up). I'm one of the co-chairs for the event and am in charge of all the silent auction items. To say I'm feeling manic is putting it mildly.

A 50-miles stretch of I-15 is closed due to flooding. That is the primary route down through the Intermountain West to Vegas and LA. That's going to be a bitch to clean up. The bulletins on my stretch of the freeway say it's going to be six-hour increase in the trip to Vegas with the detour. I don't think I'll plan any trips south for a while.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've been feeling a low level of ick all day. After the dinner break I started feeling a little better, but now I'm dizzy as shit. It's like being drunk but without the buzz. Here's hoping I make it home without falling down.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just got back from Chicago, where we announced we were closing the office. It was, of course, sad and upsetting, but already quite a few employees have applied to come to L. A. I am EXHAUSTED.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That's the part of the HR job that I absolutely couldn't handle.
Soon I shall have to get Gail up because we have to leave early for a Fun Thing, but morning person she is not, especially on vacation. Still, it's something that she REALLY wants to do (warm weather dog-sledding) so I just have to keep reminding her why she's getting up at the figurative crack of dawn....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're having so many adventures, Theo!
Scrappy, that sounds terrible. Sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds fun, Theo!
That sounds not at all fun, Scrappy.
Hope you made it home okay, aurelia, and that the ick and dizziness pass quickly.
I am feeling the good kind of normal that makes me think a sick day yesterday was absolutely the correct choice. I just hope it holds because I am going into the office for the first time this week and have back-to-back meetings in the middle of the day on top of whatever may have collected on my desk for me to do...
