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

I really should get a massage. The other day my back was so tight I was half convinced it was going to harden into a shell and eventually crack open to reveal wings.

I would be down with that, by they way.

Anyway, it's not that bad today, but still hurts if I move wrong.

My next-cube neighbor gave me a referral to stitchfix (she has used them very happily) and I'm kinda paralyzed by the profile-building "What do you think of the style below?" part. "It's okay, maybe parts of it I would wear sometimes" is not an option. And there's 7 of them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same, same. I'm getting a (temporary, so far) promotion, so I think I'm going to up my massage frequency.

Same! I totally quit halfway through setting up the profile.

Ha! I stuck with it and have a shipment coming (the day of Writer's with Drinks so maybe I'll have something new and fancy to wear?)

What my co-worker really likes is the option where you set up a pinterest, um, thingy (page? collection?) for your "style" and your stylist looks at that to refine what s/he picks out for you. I'm not jumping into that, yet, but I can see how it could be fun.

Oh, that's very interesting. Probably more trouble than I'd care to take, but that would be easier for me than deciding among looks, I guess.

Oh, my poor newbie coworkers. At 4:50, they came in to where I was proofreading a proposal and said, "We just noticed the email said to submit by 5pm. Is that serious?" I was like, um yeah. I don't know if the submission actually shuts down when the clock strikes 5, but do we want to risk it? No we do not! So she busted a move and got it in.

Wow, that's impressive, in a way.

They were really done, and it wasn't a huge project. I bet my boss wishes she had emphasized the actual deadline more, though!

Oh, okay. That's just funny, then.

Hahahaha the one thing that needed to get done today will not get done today, looks like. Other people, man. I did all I could, which was most of it. Oh well.

Other stuff got done. Including me signing up for stitchfix, ordering my dad's birthday present, and customizing my CSA box for next week. Also work.

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

Timelies all!

Nothing like being headbutted by a fussy baby. sigh...
