I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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

email person A asking them to email person B so they can email person C about a question person Z had.

OMG, yes. And it is frequently my job to be person B or C. We are trying to reduce that, but it's slow going.

{{Zen}} Hope the new boss works out well.

I have a headache. I really want to go home and lie down but (a) just got word of a big change at one of my customers that I may have to deal with and (b) I took the bus today and wouldn't be able to catch one heading homewards for half an hour anyway. Bah.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And now my boss and my coworker are sniping at each other in a meeting with a project manager. This is super-fun.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hooray for good news. That's a lot of stress to release at once.

Yeah, that's a crapton of stress to release all at once. Can you set a timer and cry for like 10 minutes and then get back to work?

And also, hooray!

(I never did drink a beer, but I hung up the flag bunting on the porch. We are politically festive now.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And they're arguing about prioritization of issues for the rest of the release schedule, when they ought to know full well there's a 98% chance the schedule will slip. Grr.

I'm glad the news was good, Zen.

Yay for no cancer

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

Thanks, y'all. We're about to find out if work and hard cider are compatible.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Home now. I have a one day work week this week. I go in tomorrow, but Wed. and Thursday I have late morning appointments, and decided to not bother trying to go in after that. Friday is a holiday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was just reminded that Friday is a holiday here, too! I think I might not tell my mother so I can go to a noon movie instead of to see my father.

...my ambitions have gotten very small.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
