Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I also thought Supergirl was fun.

I liked it, but I will quickly tire of the "incompetent girl" trope.

Free flu shot today and of course I wore a long & tight sleeved sweater. Duh.

My work has stopped doing flu shots for us since there are so many other places to get them now. In other words, they are cheap. I feel like getting the flu and spreading it at work just to spite them!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, lord, part of the pre-dawn meeting this week is a software demo with a big company, and the guy's internet connection keeps dropping. Every time it does, he says "My goodness!"

Now he's resorted to saying "Oh! It dropped again."

One of my coworkers is long distance and pretty much has either the shittiest cell and computer microphone because I cannot understand 75% of what he says. My boss is always translating. I've repeatedly asked if we can get him a new phone or upgrade something. It's fucking annoying.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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

I'm all at sixes and sevens today. Just a bubble off.

Maybe exclaiming "oh my stars and garters" on occasion would get me back on track. Worth a try.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I am never having a house without a front porch again. I have had my coffee out here every morning since we moved in and have a little table (a TV tray) set up to write on. The dog is in heaven, as he very quickly learned to Stay On The Porch, even in the face of rabbits, squirrels, a chipmunk and once, a fox nonchalantly trotting down the street late, late at night.

ION, I have had my annual mammo, think I have an interview at Sephora pretty much nailed down (hello discounts, anyone? My mom and sister would flip their shit) and have done housecleaning stuff. Today, finally, the home office, which has been the Black Hole of Random Crap since we moved.

Oh!! I need to publicly acclaim dcp as Big Damn Hero, as he is lending me his backup laptop while I save/get Xmas money to get a new one. There is nothing like a full sized keyboard and screen. I tell you. I feel like I'd broken both hands and now they're healed.

And it looks very much like D might be offered the job he wanted. HR is talking salary, and they want him to come in to meet the team he'd be part of.
