Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also sad about Ben and Jennifer, because she seems so cool, and I wanted to believe he reformed due to the love of a good woman, etc (speculation is that his gambling and womanizing). Plus they've got kids and that's always sad.

Yes! All of those reasons.

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

Am weirdly sad that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner

Me too. It was nice that they seemed to make it work. And what Kat said. Also what meara said.

Don't think California community property has a time limit?

This morning, y'all. It's the first of the month so I took all my measurements, like I do, which ate into my getting-ready-dfor-work time, and then getting dressed was hard (it just was, okay?) and by the time I managed that I hadn't had breakfasta nd it was time to leave. And then my car wouldn't start, and it was a different kind of not starting than I was used to so I kind of panicked and called my parents who talked me through what these particular symptoms might mean and my little battery booster thing got it started on the second try so I was able to drive it down the street to my garage and they gave me a ride to work but I STILL HAVEN'T HAD BREAKFAST.

This is not a thing I do, being awake for this long without eating.

Will fix it right now.

Is this like a whole week of Mondays or what?

I thought I had heard of one, flea, but I am not in that world enough to even know where to look (even where to look for where I heard about it - a livejournal community, maybe?)

And it's the start of the third quarter, so time to change all my passwords. I hate the one work site that has different password requirements than everything else, throws off my whole system.

I'm pretty sure there were gen archives for Harry Potter fic, but they've probably disappeared into the mists of time.

Ugh, I hate that -t. Of the like, eighteen work passwords I have, two of them (one an internal system!!) require a change every 60 days or so while the rest are every 90. Or 3 months vs 4 months, something. I always means that one or two passwords are out of synch and I hate it. I know nothing can be done about the outside vendor one but the internal one makes me nuts! Why can't it be integrated with our other passwords?

I have two sets of work-related incrementing passwords, which would make corporate IT annoyed, because incrementing is not recommended. But the last number of one of those passwords is already up to 20, and that set only started three years ago.

Most of my personal passwords are character names from fic I wrote in obscure fandoms, but since they're actual names, I should start incorporating symbols into them, I suppose.

Oh, that's bad meara! Mine are all either 90 days or no set limit, so I change them all on 90 days. Actually, I try to change them at 90 days and then change them again at 3 months so when the next 90 days is up will be easy to remember...

Ours can't be too close to a previous password so you can't do that. But I'm not organized enough to have a system anyway.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My system is to have all my passwords taped under my keyboard. Which I am pretty sure was not what they were going for when they started making me change my password. But, I had the same password for 15 years, and I had to change it!

Also, I checked my HRMS and I did get a raise of about 4%! It was weird not to get a letter, though.

Also, this raise finally brings me up $8,000 from my starting salary in this position, which is what I make at the theatre. It took about 8 years. It seems like I could actually consider quitting without being super poor, but I am not really sure. It sure would eliminate a bunch of expenses, but I might be really bored.
