But Zen, will you be able to crowbar yourself away from your desk?
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I dunno, Dana, work is all I know!

I skipped right to the college years.
Right now I'm train wreak glued to season 1. I REALLY don't remember these episodes. Bits and flashes, but not full story lines.
Looks like I'm picking up a used Amazon Fire tomorrow. Slowly working my way into tablet land.

Swam at the city pool at Druid Hill. Where I'm going the rest of the week. Costs me $3 a shot and I can't shower there, but stress free, not far, available lanes and pretty! I think it's a smidge-like a foot or two- shorter, but I can live with that. It was adult swim so it might be crazier tomorrow, but it's a huge main pool and separate dive pool. Weekend might be dicier, but I might have better luck with the Ys then.
I am in a so much better mood. Even though I'm still breaking things at work left and right.

And really odd to find a meatspace friend on Twitter because local reporter retweets her hearing a really close shooting a couple blocks away...and I didn't even hear it. Oh, Baltimore.

So ... I got the job offer today.
It's ridiculously qualified with TENTATIVE all over the letter, and it's conditional upon my passing some background checks (and fingerprinting). But god willing and the creek don't rise, I may have a start date in about a month. Or so.
In other news, I fell while running this morning and chewed up my leg and elbow something ugly. HURTS. And apparently hydrogen peroxide is no longer the thing to use: you are more likely to scar with H2O2. So I'm using off-brand neosporin instead.

Yay for the job offer, Consuela!
For the ugly scrapes, are you using Tegaderm bandages? It makes a huge difference in terms of how they heal up, keeps the wound moist and clean.

I don't know them! I thought for scrapes, we were supposed to let them dry and scab so they wouldn't get infected...
