I am working from home today and getting some appts for Mac out of the way. We are not so much easing into summer. The consequences for failing classes, well actually for not putting forth effort and taking responsibility, have come due and he is SHOCKED! SHOCKED, I tell you, that I plan to enforce any sorts of rules and limitations on what he wants to do.

I think I'm 3 degrees.

It looks like I'm 2 degrees through a few people. I keep feeling like I've worked with him at some point, but I can't find any evidence of it.

It feels like more driving. Whether it is or not, don't really know.

Well, I'm just going by what google tells me. I generally like to go that way when I'm heading west. It's prettier.

Totally practiced a social skill just now! There is a "meet and greet" with a new person (and pie!) in the conference room. I got my pie and saw that the new person was basically sitting alone, so I joined him and started chatting (we have met already). Another person came over and I introduced them, and then gave my seat away so the two of them could talk next! I realize this is basic cocktail party stuff, but I always feel so awkward.

And the thing that makes me give up and walk away from FB is a discussion with a friend's husband about Hydra!Cap and how silly it is to be bothered about it. It's not a flame-out, because I don't want to disrupt my friendship with his wife, especially over a comic book character. (See? I do have perspective.) I'm just weary of his paternalistic attitude.

Well, I was planning to avoid social media on my vacation next week anyway, so this was timed well, I guess.

Zenkitty, his comments PISSED ME OFF hard, but I didn't know if you wanted anyone busting in all Kool-Aid Man style and yelling at him. He literally said that he didn't see anyone policing people's reactions...right below the comment where he policed people's reactions. Raaaaaaaaage.

I've decided Hydra!Cap is an AU despite what the writer and editor think, because Marvel always changes its mind.

edit: especially if people stop buying Cap merchandise. Cap may not be so popular a visitor to children's hospitals, either, unless people are a whole lot better at separating comics from MCU.

Steph, that's where I needed to walk away. If you want to join the discussion, be my guest...

awww our kitty who is super shy with strangers is acting like I'm a stranger today. She's been hiding under the futon in bob's office all day and when I looked under it at her she ran and hid under our bed. Making me sad!

Aw, cat! You know your friend!!
