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.

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

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.

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.

Just had monthly coaching. My current competency score is 99.1% and my coach is trying to inspire me to go for 100% and was very baffled at my saying "Why?" Why should I put stress on myself for .9 percent when I've proved I'm very good at my job? If I was sitting at 80% or something, OK, I should push myself. But 99.1%? Maybe get a few dollars more in the monthly bonus I always get, but otherwise, I don't see the benefit to me. I've always been the despair of people who try to push for achievement.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We're getting snow here too, starting tonight, which is some kind of bullshit.
I just watched an ad in which one of the candidates for governor is literally juggling fire while he gives his campaign pitch.
Please tell me he has great policies because fire juggling is pretty awesome.
Right? I totally want a fire-juggling governor!
his blood pressure was like a ridiculously low 119/69 or something
Amy, I hope S. is okay. Though 119/69 isn't low; it's actually right at the top of the recommended range. (I'm not trying to be That Guy, I swear; just, if that really is his BP, it's one less thing to worry about.)
