It will definitely not backfire on me later.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

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.)

Our wings are not tired.
That is worrisome, Amy. I hope they get things stabilized.
We have zero chance for rain for the next week or so. This means I really have to get the sprinklers working. Bother.
Yeah, 99.1% sounds plenty good enough to me. Work has been burdensome today. But I did get my workout over at 7:30 this morning so there is a certain delight knowing I don't have to do that later.

I'd just like to see mine set on fire.

Because books.
I guess I meant more like it wasn't super high, Steph? Either way, he just an internal echocardiogram, and it seems fine, too. And he sounds much better -- he's only looking for the occasional word here or there. So weird.
My concern is just that if it was a TIA, the effects from it lasted a lot longer (and were more severe) than usual. And TIAs are generally warning signs of bigger, badder strokes to come.
Also, it's begun to snow. Can I go back to bed now?

Going back to bed sounds like an excellent plan.

I am glad I have no snow coming.
And 99% competent sounds like a lot more than most folks.
