No pressure, tho.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm ready to call it a day and hit the pub. So many things are going wrong right now we're going to miss all our targets anyway, so why not just give in?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I swear to god the thing I was working on yesterday was 10% better when I finished it at 7pm than when I sent out a draft at 9am. NOT WORTH IT.
That's not even the most annoying thing today!

I am so there with you.
I've had to cold call people and ask nosy work questions over the last couple of weeks, and it's sucking the life right out of me. I have a handful more to do this afternoon, and I'm in total avoidance mode.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I was up until 12:30 last night with work, so I took a goddamn sick day today and feel no guilt about it. Especially since I was sick this week (though mostly recovered today).

Ooh, I almost ragequit this morning! Because apparently although we're a 5-star Library Journal library in a major city, it would be fine to stop subscribing to the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
I mean, I am all for modernity, but, standards, people!

That is the correct call, Dana.
I've been thinking about how I'm just going to have to work a regular day on Tuesday, when we're closed, but the good news is, most of the work I've been doing this week is in service of a meeting that is Tuesday morning! So maybe I can just come in for part of the day.

Wait, you're closed but you have to work anyway? That bites.
I'm on a conference call for work about our jobs and it is....depressing. They're basically trying to outsource us to Bulgaria and Mexico. I mean, over the next few years. But still. They're desperately trying to spin it as a good thing ("no, your job will be EASIER!"), but everyone is pretty skeptical.

I guess technically jobs are easier once you no longer have to do them...
