When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Because books.

Sorry for y'all's "winter-like storm" as I heard it called.

Apparently it's two Nor'easters combined into one superstorm? Whatever it is, I am not pleased.

In other news, my ex is in the hospital in Syracuse with what seems like it was a stroke, although it's not showing up in imaging (although TIAs don't). Jake called an ambulance Saturday night because S. was confused and couldn't get words out. So far he's generally better in the daytime, and slips into the aphasia more extremely at night, but his blood pressure was like a ridiculously low 119/69 or something, so none of it makes a lot of sense. Worrisome.

Coding and Sleeping

OMG I hate this expense report software. First it didn't work in Firefox. Now when I try to submit it tells me it can't because of... reasons. You know what would help? Telling the user what the issue is because I can't find any errors.

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

Oh, Amy, that is worrisome.

Please tell me he has great policies because fire juggling is pretty awesome.

It is the candidate I'm voting for. And I decided that long before I saw the juggling.

Excellent, aurelia.

Yikes, Amy. I hope something gets figured out.

Do you have a help desk specifically for that software you can contact, Gud? That was part of my job in accounting, figuring out those kinds of "it says there's something wrong but nothing seems wrong" in our expense report software, and users got to me through the "help desk" icon which always seemed a little weird and they expected to get ICS, but they got me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am choosing not to believe in this winter storm warning. If I deny it hard enough it will STAY FUCKING SPRING FOR FIVE GODDAMN MINUTES.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have work to do! Lots of it, with a deadline! I am coping with this by not doing the work. I think it's an excellent strategy.

Seems sound.

It will definitely not backfire on me later.

STAY FUCKING SPRING FOR FIVE GODDAMN MINUTES

This. We're getting sleet now, but predictions have gone from 3-5", maybe, to 5-10".

In March.

It was 60 yesterday.

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

Was just alerted to a task from 3/7 that I never took care of. In looking it up in email, I discovered another one from that day.

Jesus, I guess today is the day my slacking this month catches up with me.

I have to be home at noon for a repairman so I'm cramming te next 2 hours.
