Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds 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.

Coding and Sleeping

Yes. Yes it is. I spent many hours this last weekend doing yard and house work outside. I think I sweated out enough to fill an olympic-sized pool.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

An article in the NYT on the Civil War museum in Richmond quotes "B. Frank Earnest, a past commander of the Virginia division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans."

B Frank Earnest.

This might not be so funny to me if my father hadn't been so fond of a joke about two maggots fighting in dead Ernest.

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

Honestly.

I'm stuck on hold with Comcast. I've had to explain the problem twice now, same as when I called about it two weeks ago. Their departments do not coordinate very well. Now she's telling me I should have been sent to Customer Service instead of Tech Support, which is no surprise, since I asked the woman in Billing if she was sure Tech Support could help me with equipment I no longer have.

I hate Comcast. They are better than they used to be, but that's scant praise. They are still the devil; moving a few circles higher up in hell doesn't make them all fun now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I had high hopes of doing something with my day, but it turns out, not so much. Saw my father, watched TV. Will pick up the CSA in a bit. Maybe I can put in a load of laundry?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Those are something.

I managed actual work for about half the day and I picked up the cats from boarding. I have 1 hour to try and refocus and get a few more things off my desk.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tired, because a certain feline has decided to yowl at our door too freakin' early two days in a row. Good thing she's cute...

Punishingly Intricate

I need to go take shower #2 before friends come over for porch drinks. I got all scratched up and sweaty from dog walking/berry picking just now. Think I'll make a berry rum smash for our porch drinks!

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

I have been slacking on the work-work more than usual when I work from home. But, car is maintained, dog is walked, hair is cut, lunch is eaten and groceries are ordered for pick up in a couple hours (all the stuff I somehow did't realize I needed when I went grocery shopping day before yesterday. After I made a list and had a roughed out menu plan for the week. Sigh). And I'm not super tense, which is nice.

Also, not completely my fault. The ERP was inaccessible for a while after lunch and other people are not getting me everything I need to do my regular work. The special projects I would normally apply my downtime to are just much easier to work on at the office.
