Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BTW, going for a walk, even though it was chilly and breezy (or maybe because it was chilly and breezy?) made me feel better. About to apply tea and cupcake.

I still feel like if I go home and go to sleep I would feel better tomorrow than I would if I soldier on through the rest of the day, but I also keep thinking "well, I'll just get this one thing done first so it will be out of the way" and that could easily go on all day...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Is it appropriate to go to IHOP on International Waffle Day?

It would be wrong NOT to!

I vote go sleep.

My boss said the same thing, so I am about to go home. Yay? Ish.

YOU DON'T PUT A BLANKET OVER A COUPLE MILLION DOLLAR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WITH MOVING PARTS BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE BLINKING. JESUSFUCKINGCHRIST.

Did they unplug it so they could use the outlet, too?

Of course not. You put electrical tape over the blinking light.

It's a really big light.

I guess I should be grateful I caught it. And they didn't break it (which would have hosed operations.)

And they didn't use duct tape.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"I accept these minor edits if they are journal policy."

I accept these edits if you force me to, but I want it made clear that my writing is superior, and it's only being changed because of some stupid "policy."

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I wonder if the blanket was applied by the same people who complained about how dark it was in my planetarium.

DEEP BREATHS.
