I love vote by mail. Got my ballot yesterday, filled it out, mailed it out today. I enjoy voting in my underwear. Now if there was only an app I could activate that would erase all the political ads and signage and mailings from my life now.

Everyone would vote so early if they could opt out of political ads by doing so.

I am all at sixes and sevens and no end in sight for that. Just not on top of anything. Perhaps chaos is my natural habitat.

You've certainly got reasons to feel chaotic, -t.

Perhaps. I would like getting dressed and going to work being less of a struggle. I was pretty good at that for a while.

Ooh, I just got a great metaphor from a colleague, which I think will resonate with a lot of folks -- I said, it was a long time coming, and she said, You still get hit by the bus, whether or not you've seen it coming. You're still hit by the bus!

Which I appreciated.

Y'all, I'm sure at some point I will be able to post about other stuff again, and thank you for bearing with me here.

That is a good metaphor.

I am behind on work because of slaking online and 4 days off the last 2 weeks, but goddamn if half of what I need to do is not cleaning up mistakes by others that were mostly avoidable.

I got a little pissy about it via group wide email this morning by basically saying, can ANYONE, just maybe check things first?

And I also haven't eaten yet this morning, so I am about to rip the next person's head off who does something stupid that impacts me.

Yeah, that's a good metaphor.

That is a good metaphor!!

In retrospect, going to an Indian restaurant for lunch on Diwali wasn't the best idea, though fortunately they were only crowded, rather than mobbed. In my defense, I thought Diwali was a couple of days ago.

In a meeting run by someone who can't run a meeting, with people who cannot follow directions. And Loki is sitting on my chest.
