I'm with you, msbelle. My giant pile of work is not really any less giant for my having put in a 12-hour day yesterday, and I'm facing the same prospect today. I'm just spending some of the 12 hours procrastinating.
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am inexplicably not feeling overwhelmed anymore, even though my to-do list is as long as ever!
This just reinforces for me that brain chemistry is a liar.

From over the cubicle walls--Young men furnishing their first grown-up homes: mattresses. "I didn't know mattress technology was a thing until two weeks ago. Apparently this is the best mattress technology in the world. I'm so glad I have the best technology between my ass and the floor. Kaylee [his wife] shrugged and said 'It's all right.' I told her she has to change her definition of all right. I sat on it and [makes a noise of a heavenly choir]. You just don't lay on it. It receives you."

I was a shitty teleworker today; break to shovel ended with a 90 minute walk around the neighborhood with Sarah, because both of us were a little stir crazy with the Y closed. Leaving shortly for wine night.

So my grandmother's just gone into hospice, and I just hope she dies. Which sounds so terrible to say, but she's got Alzheimer's too, and has been declining, and I feel like a fast end is the best for everyone.
In other news, it's still not snowing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Comfort and peace to you all, Jesse.

I'm sorry, Jesse. I've been there, as I know you have too. It seems especially unfair that you have to be there more than once.

And my separate post of rage: if developers don't learn to write fucking release notes, I'm going to kill them. This is not my job, yet here I am, still writing release notes for new features, haven't even gotten to the 50 fixed problems, and this is supposed to be complete and reviewed by tomorrow. Ha ha ha. And one PM is completely unavailable, and the other sprung it on us last week that she was going half-time...starting this week.

Thanks, but I'm really not there like that. I mean, it's my grandmother who I don't see much. ANYWAY.

I'm sorry, Jesse. It's hard.
