Hooray for lunch!
Work has been non-stop duck nibbling since I came in. I hadn't even opened a tab for y'all! I think that was probably adding to my stress levels.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Hah. First round's on me.

How sad is it that that meaning did not even occur to me?

That sounds like fun!
Why do people in offices bring in those Glade Air Freshener things. I have a new co-worker/professor whom I support (but who is not my boss), and she is two doors down from me, and that damn Fresh Breeze scent is KILLING ME. I feel like my sinuses are being roto-rooted by a metal bottle brush.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
NACHOS!
Someone called me way too late about a job last night. Like, not too late jobwise, but too late evening wise. I do my sleep hygiene which involves starting winding down at 8 or so (otherwise I watch TV and it ruins everything. If I'm going to be up at 4-5 anyway, might as well start soon, right?
So I don't know what the details were, but luckily she sent me an email with job description information, but I have no idea what the next steps are.
I'm just chuffed she jumped right on my resume, since I submitted it for the first time yesterday.
But now what? ::rechecks email:: okay, my resume is with the hiring manager. I hope they are similarly excited.
The banking-related interview I had this week which seemed iffy from my PoV because I don't have loan servicing experience may be less iffy than I had thought. I might go to the next level with that one. Location-wise, it's better than last night's lady--she's in downtown, which is with all the traffic, it's in the same neighbourhood I worked before.
If I get the downtown job, Colin and GF will be on me for moving for sure.

Object. Just object. You are in pain, right? Object.

We have a couple women in my office who are a leetle too fond of perfume. One of them, about ten minutes after she'd arrived, I could smell her perfume in the lobby. Sometimes the perfume triggers my allergies ... which tempts me to sneeze on them.
