Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel (without googling)

Sorry, drop Ariel.

If 30 years is the requirement, that only gives you Snow, Cindy, and Aurora.

Not 30 years. (ETA: Pocahontas, that is. Really only 3? Huh)

This stupid day will never end. The two things I came in wanting to get done I have not gotten a chance to work on at all and one thing that came up after I got here that I have been trying to get done since 8:45 has also gotten pushed aside for various and sundry emergent tasks. I'm having a goddamn brownie.

Our wings are not tired.

Apparently the Pocahontas I was thinking of was 1995. Seems a lot longer ago than that to me.

I was surprised too. I feel like my childhood was filled with Disney, but all the others came after I was an adult (well, depending on what part of 1989 The Little Mermaid came out in, I might have only been 17, but still).

Guess the re-releases of those three, plus Bambi, Pinocchio, The Fox and the Hound (was that Disney? Not sure...), etc., made it Disney-full, even if it wasn't that Princess-full.

Stretch the definition of "princess", and you can add Tinkerbell, even Wendy if you want.

Hm. I do have some fairy wings from the dollar store, but they are purple. Can Tinkerbell be purple?

I am also having a cookie.

ETA it was only half a brownie.

I might be the last person left in the building. It's really quiet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Disney Princess Industrial Complex is definitely a recent innovation.

When I went to leave early, my team member who usually works an early schedule was still there. I was like, "Are you working on a deadline I forgot about or ????" She had plans after work, but later. Phew!

Am massaged.

Remember Leia is a Disney Princess now.

Ooh, good one, Matt. I don't know if I can pull that together but it's a good idea.

Hooray massage!

I am going home. The stuff I wanted to do will just not get done. Maybe I will come in early on Monday. I suppose it is possible I will work on it over the weekend but I really don't want to. MAYBE IT WILL NEVER GET DONE. I am at the fuck-this-noise stage of trying. Thank dog my manager approved using empty offices for meditation, I don't know if I would have gotten this far today without that.

Maybe it will never get done is my motto now.
