I just tried to alt-tab on my desktop keyboard to change apps on my phone.
Maybe I should have some lunch.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got back last night. (As it turned out, we ended up going to sleep around the time we normally do on dance practice nights.) Need to start cleaning the house for my parents' visit this weekend. Bleah.

Forgot to get directions again! But now my hair is cut, so yay for that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Well, one of the applicants to be my assistant knows how to make a cover letter stand out (the ellipses are where I've skipped stuff):
"I am a very detail-oriented individual... I use fonts like Garamond so that people can tell the difference between a lower-case "l," the number "1," and a capital "I." I am a champion of the Oxford comma... I like football. I play board games. I watch Doctor Who. I run marathons."
I feel like I should ask questions about cilantro and muffalettas.

Got a job offer in the pool tonight. Or really, a compliment. When I pulled off my swim cap, I found a clump of plaster and was bitching about plastering to the guy I was sharing a lane with. Discussion meandered into what jobs we'll do ourselves and what we won't. He works in hvac for a local outfit and was all, wait, you do that and that yourself? I hardly know anyone who can do that themselves! (Pointed remark about his field, really?) Well, outside of the trade. You could totally work for us!
It would take me three times as long as you guys.
It.always.does.
Heheh.
I was like I'm cheap, but I have limits. I won't drain the bleeder tank on the boiler myself. Turns out he hates that part of the job.
Anyway, it was nice validation.

Go sarameg, very impressive! And hey, tell your current job if you get fed up, you've got another offer? :)

That is kind of an awesome cover letter indeed. Dig it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Those do seem indicated as follow-up questions.

(Also, since I see him regularly-and have stood on his shoulder- gonna keep him in my back pocket for bouncing numbers off of and getting insider quotes from. Outfit is also a big local plumber.)

I see what you did there.
