Pumpkin pie cupcake sounds lovely.

I am in the least ergonomic setup ever, today. And super filled with not wanting to work--doesn't help that I don't land until after 1am and my boss just sent me an 8am meeting (which I have to be sharp for). And there's a bunch of stuff overdue. But I suspect tomorrow I may just have the meeting, have the other meeting I've got at 11am, and then fuck off for the rest of the day. Ugh.

Is kiddo an out of date term? My cousin was surprised when I called K-Bug my kiddo.

Oh, Suzi and Kate, I'm sorry.

I don't hear "kiddo" as often as I used to, but it's still around.

I engaged with anti-vaxxers. Don't want to poison themselves with the flu shot. I'm 70 different kinds of special today. Evidently, I never learn from beating my head against the brick wall the first 1,000 times.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

It's so not worth it, Maria. So not.

I am onerousing all over the place. Called Comcast, PG&E, DirecTV, and am currently engaging with Verizon and EDD simultaneously. I really wish DirecTV could offer faster internet (6 mbps is so low!), because I would love to leave Concast.

Oh, and the reason I have to call Verizon is that someone is spoofing my number, and their only solution is to change numbers. Ugh.

Go, juliana! ETA and that is ridiculous that Verizon can't fix that for you.

I have been thinking that I could maybe get rid of Comcast because we got fast internet for DH and I don't know that I need it now. Would suck to switch and then find out that I shouldn't have, though.

I just ordered a cobb salad, and it doesn't have bacon or bleu cheese. So basically, just a salad?

A Co salad, perhaps?

Wikipedia says One way to remember the components is to use the mnemonic EAT COBB: Egg, Avocado, Tomato, Chicken, Onion, Bacon, Blue cheese—then add lettuce.

Thanks, juliana. I also forgot to thank you for the real-world review of the Nest thermostat. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger and get it.

Go you! I hate Comcast so much that I refuse to deal with them, even for internet, so I'm stuck with CenturyLink DSL which is its own special kind of hell. I have 25 mbps service (that I had to beg for), and the only reason it's passable is because I'm 800 feet from the CO. I can spit on it from my front porch.

Sorry, Verizon, that's not acceptable. Try again.

-t, don't switch from the fast internet, especially if you stream or use DirecTV's on-demand service. I had 10 mbps initially, and it was terrible for uninterrupted play, even when I wasn't using other devices. You could call Comcast, threaten to switch, and ask if they have any specials that would make it worth your while to stay. That's how I survived 8 years with them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's bullshit, Sophia.

Not ractopods?

That makes me scared they have more than four legs, although I know that's not right!

Is a pumpkin pie cupcake more like a pie or more like a cupcake? Maybe I will make some for my coworkers! I still have too much squash.

Sorry y'all's days suck. I don't know if it will help anyone else, but it helps me to fantasize about a life where I spend $100 on these notepads: [link]
