All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

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

Oh, garage says my battery was low, and the tag says it was bought in 2013 (maybe what I am remembering as buying a new battery recently is something else - cables or connections or something) and they are charging it up and will test it once it's charged. Be nice if that's all it is, though it would be nice to know what drained it, also.

Ina nay case, I think I will take an actual lunch break and get away from my desk for a little while. Because argh.

Oh dear, Maria. Well, good luck. I encourage you to make some time for curling up and crying when you can, because this legit sucks.

I haven't even turned over my calendars to July yet. Stupid day of busyness.

Maria - it seems they know you are valuable if they have a back-up plan. At least that is my rose-colored glasses read on it. Plus, they would be idiots to push you out.

Work is trying its hardest to drive me crazy. One of the programs I need to use keeps kicking me out. I've done all my tricks and it keeps doing it. I've checked with others who use the program and so far no one else is having the issue. Yes, I've rebooted. I wish I could just put this off, but it needs to be done today.

Garage says battery was just out of juice, like I had left something on. I can't imagine what, unless a door was ajar and the dome light was on? Whatever, they aren't charging me and my coworker is giving me a ride to pick up my car, so yay!

Oh, weird. We can wear "business appropriate shorts" to the office tomorrow. I don't think I have any of those...

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

It still doesn't make me feel any less of a failure. No matter what the reason for lack of production.

I understand that, but from out here it is obviously not your fault.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ah, Maria. They want you to do the nearly impossible -- unless you start building a couple of cars a night, just for grins -- and then if you don't meet goal, it's YOUR fault. Even though you don't have control of the the whole process. @@ Passing the beck, and you ARE competent and good at what you set your mind to.

I don't blame the fetal-position urge.
