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

I'm at work because we are testing the upgrade of our ERP before it does into full live mode across the company tomorrow. We get a free lunch, but it's Subway. Not my favorite, but free. I was hoping for barbecue because Labor Day, but that was way too high a hope.

OMG, the change-is-hard whining, even for things that we have known would be changing for months.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Change is HARD. I think the best you can hope for is people realizing that's the problem.

Relatedly, I was using my mother's new computer, and it's Win10, and I can't even figure that thing out! I mean, I figured it out, but yikes.

Well, yeah, but this upgrade has been in process since June, people should be used to how hard it is by now!

Or maybe I'm grumpy because I haven't finished my unsatisfactory lunch.

I find Subway lunch to sometimes be grumpy-making regardless, so.

There's a How It's Made marathon! I forgot how much I love this show, and how hypnotic it is.

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

There's a The Librarians marathon on too! I'm feeling much better. As long as I don't think about all the stuff I'm not getting done.

Man, I love that Bruce-Campbell-as-Santa episode.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I seriously could watch How It's Made for hours and hours and hours. It's like crack. If crack made you really mellow and zen.

We have a double-up band rehearsal tonight, so I have made crockpot chili and green chile cheesebread for the band. It is woeful, because the house has smelled SOOO good all day and I cannot eat it. I mean, I'm sure the band will appreciate it if I tell them I made them food but I ated it, but they will probably appreciate it more if I, you know, bring it with me.

That sounds way better than Subway.

Totally!

Except this one right now, because it's about a commercial chicken hatchery, and is actually slightly traumatic. And I'm sure this is the nicest part of factory farming chickens!
