today is back to work after vacation. I have a meeting at 930 ( not my usual schedule) - and I just tried to get into my email. I could not. my mailbox does not exist.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

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.

FFS, I cannot attend your goddamned meeting if you don't send me a goddamned password. I am not driving over there with 5 minutes notice.

I am in a meeting which largely consists of me saying "Uh-huh" to my coworker. Other mover is due any second.

Holy hell. After a fight with my DW about my AM gym going and my insistence that I was going this morning (the fight is too stupid to recount), I get to the gym at 5:30 to swim. I put on my suit and grab my stuff and realize I FORGOT MY STUPID GOGGLES. So I go to the pool deck to check lost and found (they had a pair in toddler size). Back to the locker room where I decide to shower. Then getting dressed, the goggles are tangled up with my bra.
ARGH!!!

Went to bed last night with a plan for Doing Some Of The Things.
Woke up feeling like the cats used my throat lining as a scratching post, vague nausea, throbbing sinuses and eyeballs, and that weird floating head feeling.
I do not think I will be checking many things off my list today.
On the bright side, my beloved Tower of London tea should be arriving in the mail today.
I got a Greek salad for lunch, but I'm just kind of giving it the hairy eyeball and drinking ice water with lemon instead. Bleargh.

I should do something for lunch, but I'm procrastinating, because I'll have to go back to the meeting when I'm done.
And I should use up something in the house, but I don't wanna.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have food in the house, but I just ordered pizza, because I'm doing an editing marathon today and I can't be bothered foraging in the fridge.

Current mood: Wildly annoyed by people who give detailed answers to questions I didn't ask and ignore the question I did ask. WTF. Did you not read the message? This sort of thing is what convinces me that most people see what they think is there, instead of what really is. How hard is it to read a two-sentence email?

Kat that sounds awful...and very 530am.
Greek salad sounds yum. I am exhausted and unmotivated. Had an 8am call, took it from bed and told myself I could go back to sleep after...but couldn't. So finally showered and headed to my coworking space and stopped for a bagel and coffee on the way...still haven't gotten any work done

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had a jerk chicken sandwich for lunch in honor of ita, but it was just OK.
What I did do, on the other hand, was make some shit happen at work! It took literally two conversations over the course of five minutes, but this one talking to that one, and sending an email that was never responded to and blah blah blah over the course of WEEKS have now been cleared up and cut through. Phew.
