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.
Timelies all!
Come home, Cosmo!
Work is weird. I work on both Federal and Commercial projects. I had a call at 2:30 with a bunch of other Federal folks who have the same responsibilies I do, discussing the problems we have been having since our accounting system went through an upgrade/conversion. Lots of frustration with no answers. Then at 4:00 I had a call with a higher up systems guy that I have known for years regarding similar problems I've been having on my Commercial projects. Got lots of answers and we pulled another high level guy into the conversation, who I've known even longer. We talked over all the problems I've been having on both Federal and Commercial projects.
I now know where the system update hit list is stored and I know who to talk to about getting on the weekly update list. I've also been invited to contact either if there is an issue that isn't on the list. I feel so accomplished this afternoon. I was a good girl and shared the information I gathered with the Federal lead.
Good one, Suzi!
That does sound annoying, meara!
Have I complained here about my toe problem yet? I think I have arthritis in one little toe, which seems so dumb, but it hurts like hell! Just some of the time. So like medication seems stupid, but ugh.

No, it's not dumb. Tim has arthritis in one big toe, and it's pretty fucking painful. Get medication.
Probably just advil would help, but I'm just not that interested in taking it every day.
Note: I do realize the options are basically take a pain killer, or go "ow! ow! ow!" for half of my commute every day.
No early voting for me tonight. Thanks, Obama!
It took me half an hour just to cross the river (1 block).
Jesse, that's totally an obnoxious problem. I hope it settles down.
as some saw on FB, as I was leaving the hospital I was working at today (in the dry dry California hills) two maintenance guys were doing something on the steep hill behind the one building I was in. One was tellin the other how to use what I think was a gas powered leaf blower? Maybe something else similarly loud and without cords. Walk past and suddenly I hear "shit shit shit help!" And turn around and see the leaf blower tumbling down the hill into the parking lot while the hill is ON FIRE. No idea how that happened but then yhe one dude was frantically kicking dirt down the hill into the scrub that was on fire, but also trying not to fall down the hill while he did this....they finally got it out but I was like "uh...should I do something? What??" Because I don't work there and wouldn't know who to call and didn't have any water on me or anything...
I failed at being a grown up today. Went to bed at a reasonable hour, got up at 5:30, showered and hair and makeup and then just couldn't. Didn't want to deal with any of it. So I sat on the couch all day and read through a backlog of magazines.
Hopefully, that fed enough of my rebellious nature so I return to work with a slightly adjusted for the better attitude.
oh hai disrespectful teenager. I have no patience for you and will yell at you when you back talk under your breath for the umpteenth time. You are grounded from electronics because you are not doing school work, then you lie about it. You raise your voice with me when I ask about said homework that was to BE DONE TODAY! and yep, I'm done. I will threaten a longer loss of electronics, I will let you know that I have NO INTEREST in spending time with you at the event that I have basically been begging you to come to since you have nothing else to do that night.
But hey, when your response is to then stomp around for 10-15 minutes and THEN call your grandmother and in the course of saying how I have all the issue and everything is my fault and I am the worst, you then say YOU ARE GOING TO END IT ALL AND WOULD RATHER BE DEAD THAN LIVE WITH ME!!! Hell no. Me? I know you and I can see you, you are not about to cause harm to yourself or me. Not even close. Your Grandmother - SHE IS NOW FLIPPING OUT AND WILL NOT SLEEP TONIGHT. I am being calm, because I need you to calm down. That response, however is NOT OK and we will discuss it at a later date.
