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.

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

Oh mac, please stop being so stubborn. Your mother will outdo you any day of the week, including Sundays, in her sleep, while hanging upside down. I'm very glad you're smart, but again, you're not going to outsmart your mother.

Sara, I really hope this work idiocy modulates itself soon. The level of bullshit you've been dealing with is not sustainable.

Tep, I'm sorry. Heads should not give us this much trouble. I hope you can make it through the day with the least amount of pain possible.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

If he passed all his classes and did minimal chores I wouldn't say anything either. There is a level of obsessiveness with this though that is really unhealthy. He foregoes food, bathing. He had over a week old pizza in his room. There is a laziness more than I am familiar with and also a refusal to deal with anything until the last second. He has to learn better coping and processing, because where he is now will not suffice for life on his own.

Our wings are not tired.

^^^ All that stuff Maria said for me.

I've got my 24 yo at home again. "Wants to fix his life." Yes, we have heard this before. Sigh.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What's a normal amount of time to wait before checking to see if my webinar was cancelled or rescheduled? I've been logged in and waiting for 15 fucking minutes.

The organizer of the meeting forgot that the freelancers were going to join the webinar and did it in person but didn't set up access for us.

I did not reply "fuuuuuuuuuuck youuuuuuuuu," but it was a close thing.

Ugh. That sucks so much Teppy, when you wanted to just avoid it entirely! Boo.

Mac. Wtf dude. (And Laura's! Fingers crossed maybe this is the time he keeps it together?)

I'm a bit irked because I was on a friend's FB page and FB was like "do you want to friend [my recent ex]?" And I hadn't realized she had gone and unfriended me! (I hid her so I wasn't seeing her happy "my new gf is so awesome" stuff, but we'd known each other for two years--so I didn't entirely unfriend her!) and then I was a little irked she was still friends with this other friend of mine who she's only met a couple times and only knows because she's the gf of one of my BFFs. Grump grump drama grump.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Steph- I hope you feel better

I meant to say that part, too!

He has to learn better coping and processing, because where he is now will not suffice for life on his own.

Yeah, I can see that as being a real worry.

In my job news, we're moving offices over the weekend, so were going to close at noon on Friday, but they just told us to take the whole day! Which is great, except I definitely have shit to do and they told us to leave our computers here so IT can make sure everything works. I guess I can work on my annual review from my own computer (it's all online) and leave it at that!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have been waiting an hour at my doctor. I really like her, but the office is alwaysa clusterfuck. I don't know if I like her this much.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My brother (who knows a lot about healing properties of food) told me that ginger tea and holy basil tea help with migraines because they have antiinflammatory properties. We happen to have some of each because I bought them (with my brother, as a matter of fact) at a fancy tea place for Tim when we thought his RA was osteoarthritis. He never drank it, so I'm giving it a shot.

It smells like a fancy bath product that would be $7 at LUSH.
