Good one!

Those are the times I miss my platform boots of the 90s, I'll tell you what.

I *super* adulted today: therapy (for the first time in 15 years), work, Target to buy CA:CW*, bank, picked up fluids for the kitty at the vet, got gas in the Corolla, bought fancy coffee*, went to the library, and now I am working again. OH GOD I NEED A NAP.

*(CA:CW and the fancy coffee were my Treat Yo Self reward for going to therapy.)

Not that I really believe in astrology, but it has been a very mercury retrograde day.

• Those mosquito bites are really flea bites.
• I had two meetings rescheduled because the other person double booked.
• Only one of those people were considerate enough to actually let me know he couldn't make the meeting.
• I went to a meeting with a Colin MacD___ and was led into and introduced to Chad McD____. It took us about 5 minutes to realize I was meeting with the wrong person.
• In the one meeting I actually managed to have today, I think I was mansplained to, by a woman.

Higher ups in my company are freaking out at our profits this year. We are way under plan, mostly do to slow work due to weather. Nothing we can do about that. The 2 of us in the office that area paid overtime have been asked to not have any more overtime. Totally fine by me, I rarely do anyway. I bet I average less than 2 HR of overtime a pay period. Kinda freaks me out though, so I have spent the day run expenses I have some control over last year vs. this year.

That also came up! Are you sure you're not my coworker Steve?

Not entirely.

And it is now pouring down rain. That means I ran all those errands and BEAT THE RAIN HOME.

Everything's coming up Milhouse!

UUuuggghhh, we are pushing a new Excel tool to the firm, I'm one of the leads, but not part of the programming team. It is being buggy as hell today, I've lost work, I can't do the work I need to do, and it all sucks like a sucky thing that sucks.

I feel like I have also adulted, despite not being able to deal with the r-word.

Which is now gone, hallelujah. I think my neighbor laughed at me a little, but I don't care. Totally worth it.

I've just gotten to the "fuck you" point in my current big project, which is too bad, since I still need to do most of the work. But all I want to say to my main contact is "Fuuuuuuuck yooouuuuuu!"

I will refrain.

I had lunch with a friend and we commiserated over how we're both totally burned out at jobs that are too good to quit.

We need a good rain here, send some on over.

My old arbor vitae trees are dying and I don't know why.

Thanksgiving is coming. I don't want to go to either of the places I normally spend the holiday, and I don't know how to get out of it. Short of leaving the country, which I can't afford this year.
