Comcast autopay has been working for me for years. Then I upgraded my DVR (which I still haven't gotten). That change seems to have triggered a reset somehow. There seems to be no way to avoid aggravating stupidity.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

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

This is what I'm saying, change is problematic. WRT Comcast, anyway. Good luck getting it sorted out, Zen.
Unrelatedly - I am pondering my Halloween costume. I'm thinking maybe some kind of play on "are you a good witch or a bad witch" with my batwing shoes and stripey stockings and a ball gown, switching between a tiara and a pointy hat as the mood strikes me. Will that make any sense to people who aren't me?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
...Maybe? It does to me, but we're rather an Oz-ish household. I really like the idea of having enough accessories that you can be both a good *and* a bad witch as the occasion demands.
Matilda wants me to be the Scary Godmother, but I kind of want to attempt Coraline, even though neither of those will make any sense to anyone who isn't any of us. She's going to be Marceline the Vampire Queen, and is already resigned to nobody knowing who she is but also very happily attached to being Marceline.

We were Lana Kane and Pam Poovey last year, and no one got it. How can we not know anyone who watches Archer???
We're expecting no one to get skinny jeans!Ichabod Crane and Hot Topic Katrina this year, either. Our friends need to watch more TV.

Apparently!
Those are all terrific, JZ!
Oh, wait, Halloween is on Saturday this year. That changes everything. Maybe. Typically I wear a costume to work and that's kind of it. Hm.

Aw, Yogi Berra passed away.
He had a pretty good run. 90 years old, I'm reading.

Wow, a world without Yogi Berra is definitely diminished.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I didn't realize he was still alive.
Why am I back at work? Vacation was way better.
I'm slightly disappointed that this Halloween I will be at a non-costume wedding. Especially when I was in the gift shop at the WWII museum dreaming of Peggy Carter cosplay.

We will have trick or treater's this year! I haven't had any since I moved to Colorado! Now I know of at least 8 kids that live within 4 houses of us. With the dog, I figure I'll need to hang out on the front porch...so must come up with a costume. Hmmmmm. Will be curious to see how much the neighborhood decorates for the holiday.
I'm in the office. We moved buildings since I was last here. We have a 4 building campus, so it wasn't THAT big of a move, but still...new digs for me. I'm sharing a cube but I've never met the person and apparently she comes in about as often as I do. I only had 2 boxes to unpack and she has 6 boxes. I've done my best to keep my stuff compact and on less than half the office space.
