Sorry for everyone's sucky day. Mine was okay until I tried to buy groceries. Putting them on a credit card because it's two days to payday and I haven't got my reimbursement checks yet and maybe I shouldn't buy so many shoes but never mind that now... and SunTrust Bank has invalidated my credit card, again, for no effing reason. I loathe them.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Cucumber is hardly a replacement for bacon and blue cheese.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Also, they brought me vinegrette dressing, which might have been fine with bleu cheese and bacon, without, I want bleu cheese dressing!!!

Had a nice conversation with the hvac guy about the old boilers he's worked on. And mine is all set for another winter, so that's good to know. And I now know how those red thingies work. And I'm done work for the day.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Thanks, guys. It'll be OK, I know, just tough to get through for a while. My first day back, on Monday, went pretty well, but then that night the horrible realization dawned: Oh my god. I have to get up and do this all over again tomorrow. And the next day. And the next. Sigh.

I know I'm lucky in that while I don't absolutely adore my job, I don't wake up with dread. I often find it very satisfying, and I don't run too often into managerial idiocy. That's one reason I don't push to get into higher levels, I'm much happier being a competent sergeant than a frustrated officer.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sending out lots of general ~ma for all the buffista suffering through crappy days
I have been rereading Dorothy Sayers, and I dreamed that Lord Peter Wimsey said he only knew of two perfect murders, one of which involved butter, liquid nitrogen and Tibetan monks.
This makes me so happy. Go, Ginger's brain!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
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.
The Comcast thing is being shelved so M can be the heavy - though we're kind of stuck with the needing of the 150 mbps, what with the DirecTV and the graphic design gigs.
Even with DirecTV, I refuse to deal with Comcast, at all. They keep sending people to try to do door to door sales in my neighborhood too, so I routinely get to tell them that I think their company is the devil.

Who do you use for internet, Lee?
