Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm sorry, msbelle.

RE: Gizmo finding hidey holes... It took me about a week to figure out that Rosie and Gilda were hiding inside a swivel rocker when I first got them. They outgrew some of the hiding spots, but they also gradually realized that indoor life meant they didn't *have* to hide really well to nap.

sumi, that's wonderful that you are enjoying the new job!

I just got a FB event notice from my employer that made me gasp in delight when I saw that the event features Gina Torres! Then I noticed that the event is off-site. Damnit!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My cat's favorite hidey hole is often his carrier, which I leave in a corner of the living room. He also hates his collar. So when we went to the vet this week I picked up his collar, walked toward him with intent, and Leifur ran right into his carrier. I closed it and there we were—ready for the vet with minimal fuss and drama.

Last night I dreamed that they were making a Buffy-Teen Wolf mashup, with the original teen characters playing adult versions of themselves. Adult Buffy, Willow, and Xander kept face-palming as they watched the new teens do the same stupid stuff they'd done, only this time with cell phones.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am in the world's foulest mood, and if my coworker continues to be her usual self, I'm going to...sit here in a different city and be snarly about it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Ohhh FUCKING TRUMP AND his FUCKING APOLOGISTS AND SUPPORTERS. Fuck them all.

I want to scream and punch things and possibly set fire to a few people.

Coding and Sleeping

I'm getting the impression that you are upset.

I have some explosive anger issues.

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

In 2018 you really shouldn't have a website that only works on Internet Explorer.

Oh, Gud, come and talk to our developers. My work software - the software I do all my work on - not only works only in IE, it only works in an OLDER VERSION of IE. It only works in 8. For years now, IT keeps trying to push an update of IE to our laptops, and we have to keep rejecting it. *facepalm*

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

After a (nother) half-day retreat, guess what? Still too many things to do and too little motivation to do any of them! 72 unread emails, most of which are requests for me to do work.

Also four meetings, but luckily two were both short and on the phone. So I have had time to catch up on the internet.
