Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

OMG I would love that. I have no interest in advancement in this company. I am not bonus eligible and have no ambition.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm buying my ticket to New York for mid-July -- shouldn't have waited this long, but with the uncertainty about husband's job, it's delayed us. Even right now, I'm just buying a ticket for me, and he'll either go to NY or not depending on whether he starts a job around then. So now I'm playing airport merry-go-round, trying to figure out what's cheap. My mom did remind me about JetBlue, which I've never flown because it only has a direct flight from Houston to NY.

Last week we were asked to submit a paragraph on our career goals here in the company. I've been trying to shift into another department directly related to tech support for three years, I'm not sanguine about my ability to develop my career. But I wouldn't mind retiring from here (only another ten years or so! I'm old!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My acting boss told me I have no opportunity for advancement already, and he won't be my boss anymore as of July 5, so he really can fuck off. I wrote some stuff and we'll see what he has to say. On the upside, the feedback to me from my team made me cry in a good way.

I literally just sent my friend who is a dr and starts working at a new hospital a recent picture and told him to find me a boyfriend. Straight up pimpin'. So you all might as well be in on it to. I think long distance relationship would be great for me cause I am online all the time anyway and I do plan on moving in 3 years. So go forth and make a match. Payment in baked goods and or random objects I have lying about.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Once I find one for myself, I'll start filtering my leftovers for you, Rebecca. IOW, don't anticipate a move to San Diego, I'm afraid.

Sort of related to the FB discussion from yesterday, someone I have blocked because she only posts about the skincare products she sells DM'd me to see if I knew people she could recruit.

I am less angry after mindfully eating chilaquiles for breakfast. I'm going to get done what I can and then go home early. I have a Birchbox to open as well as my first shipment from Stitch Fix. I'm curious to see what my stylist chose for me based on my profile and the Pinterest page I set up so I wouldn't get any "boho chic" clothes to try on.

That's probably them. I rage-tuned it out.

Airfare Watchdog tells me that JetBlue is having a fare sale right now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

so I wouldn't get any "boho chic" clothes to try on.

Oh my god, I think seeing you model "boho chic" outfits might be an FDA-approved cure for my brain weasels.
