I've been doing a lot of video editing lately, and while software development makes me wish my computer was faster, video editing really makes me wish my computer was faster.

Spent more time than I should have on the Ask a Manager link. Amazing how quickly the Letter Writer went from clueless (and perhaps -- perhaps -- well-meaning) to downright malicious.

Still not sure if I have a sinus infection. I have an Rx for antibiotics, though I hate to use them if they're not necessary. But I'm feeling progressively worse as the days go on.

I literally thought today, maybe husband and I should retire in another country. It's weird to think about, and obviously not an issue at the moment, but with the vote today, I really had a minute of not being sure I wanted to stay in this country.

My old boss was very seriously considering it -- that's how he and his husband were planning vacations, as scouting trips for retirement.

Does today feel especially bleak or is it just me?

Today just doesn't feel bleak, it is bleak, thanks to the United States Senate, the Greatest Deliberative Body in the World.

I've been in a weird cranky/sad mood all day, well before the Senate vote. I'm not sure what that's about. And it's a stunningly gorgeous day here, too -- perfect for frolicking (or at least taking a walk), but instead I am cross and gritchy and teary.

I'm the same, Tep -- I woke up groggy to a cloudy day, and like you said, way before the Senate vote, everything felt awful. Which was partly walking into work and getting reamed by the tiny French bakery dictator, but still.

I feel like I've been on the edge of tears all day.

Of course, this kind of started yesterday, when I cried at the video for Fiona the hippo's 6-month birthday (she even has her own song, proving that she is indeed the Lil Sebastian of Cincinnati).

I'm all unbalanced because I went to therapy yesterday and only cried a little bit, and it was a great session! And today, blech.
