Ugh. This is one of those days where I'm completely failing at my job and feel like I should quit before I bring shame upon the company. I'm trying to remember that my boss told me it takes quite a while before a new editor is fully up to speed, and I've only been doing this for 2 1/2 months. But that's hard when I keep getting feedback about the things I forgot or just plain got wrong. And I feel like a fucking moron and I secretly suspect my boss is kicking herself for even thinking I could handle this job.
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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sara, your walls sound just like mine!

That is how you get up to speed! Like your boss told you you would need to do over time.
I'm a little surprised, but I guess I wasn't just whining when I felt like exercising was too hard and made me feel like shit.
Confirmation is good! I hope the meds work, though.

'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 exactly how I made the ER doctor break up in laughter, when she told me that my toe was broken in several places. "Oh good," I said, relieved, "I wasn't being a crybaby!"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
OMG, Waze now has, in addition to Terry Crews as a voice, Ichabod Crane. As in Tom Mison doing Ichabod Crane giving you directions. This is glorious.

It would need snarky "why is the future so weird?" commentary to be really cool.

That sounds fun. Especially if he goes off on tangents about the excesses of eight-lane freeways.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Kinda want to drive somewhere now, just to see what the directions sound like. But probably want to stay on the couch more.

"Turn left on the Franklin Highway. Another paean to Franklin? That bounder? That cad? I certainly misjudged his talent for self-promotion if that rogue is being lionized 250 years in the future."

OMG, Ichabod Crane doing directions would be AWeSOME.
Sigh.
So the skunk is still under the shed; I went out to look and got a good whiff of him. I'm buying a solar-powered motion-sensor light for the backyard, maybe that will scare him off.

OK, now I might need to get that, despite having no need for out-loud directions.
