Seriously.

Signed, Blowing Off Writing My Performance Review by Doing Core Work

You're a wild one, no doubt about that.

I got eight and a half hours sleep one night last week. It was revelatory. I really hoped that trend would continue, but I'm back to four-five a night.

The last dream I had was crossing a street, with H in a wheelchair (he wasn't incapacitated, it was just...getting the chair across the street for reasons) and me carrying a cat by the name of the one we lost twenty years ago, except this cat looked nothing like her. As we approached the curb, she wriggled and I set her down, and she ran and disappeared down a storm drain. We couldn't get her out in the first couple of minutes, so we moved on--gotta deliver this wheelchair, after all. And then I woke up gasping because we'd abandoned the cat.

You're a wild one, no doubt about that.

I just procrastinated some more by building a few slides for a presentation I need to deliver on Tuesday. REBEL YEAH.

Following up on yesterday's "Successes" story:

Does the process give a "Success" alert when it's done? That would almost make sense.

The only alert is an "Unknown Message Type = INFO" alert that says "Import Complete".

So I don't know.

And she just said it again about a different process in a different system, so maybe it's just part of her personal idiom for some reason...I think I can tolerate it unless it starts spreading to other people...

Maybe find ways to forcefully use the word "succeed" around her, like a lot, so she twigs to the fact that it already has a perfectly servicable verb form?

That's probably more effort than I want to put in, but we'll see how it goes.

Ah, see, if it were me, the extra effort to prevent my head from exploding would be worth it. Your sumpsimus-ness [link] may vary.

Just tell her the internet is mocking her.

So the furnace was inspected, however my furnace is too old to have half of the things they look for. It doesn't look to be about to blow up, the parts he looked at seem to work, and he said we ought to replace it soon. I'm not sure how much of that is actual warning and how much of that is "I work for a furnace company, we sell furnaces, want to buy one?" Though he later said, "Some people replace old furnaces just because they're old." He made sure we had a CO monitor--we do, I replaced the batteries yesterday--and called it good for now.

He hated the crawlspace. Apparently our furnace has to be a horizontal one because of the crawlspace. Should have asked him what model it is.

Edit: another reason to be thinking of moving.
