Anyone have any good methods for stopping an incipient crush?

Oh that is a tricky one. I am a natural flirt and generally good at keeping the crushing under control, but it is so easy for it to get messy and awkward. I'm still annoyed over one of my best friends that I would flirt with all the time. I knew he had a crush, but we were best buds and would go out to lunch together or whatever all the time. Until he got a girlfriend, then he couldn't anymore. What the hell? I was always married, we never dated, but now we aren't buds anymore because you are. People are flawed.

I just have to get to the 13th.

Fast forward now! May time fly without too much craziness for the duration.

Hillary was sitting next to me and making frustrated noises until the person stopped and let her explain it correctly.

I love when Buffistas visit my dreams. Get 'em, Hil.

Fancy cocktails with Jesse definitely helped my ratio!

Yes, this would help anyone's ratio. With or without cheese and pickles.

I am now looking up Caribbean vacations...

Ah, 12 days from now I shall be floating in the Caribbean with Pix and ND, and a cruise ship full of others. In anticipation I bought a pretty dress - [link]

And as of last night I have water! Plumber finally got here and fixed the broken stuff. So I showered. Woo! Now to do 3 days worth of dishes.

Also, still in a hate all stupid humans mode. I got super pissy with a customer last night. They have been vaguely saying there is an issue with prescribing for weeks. Takes them hours, get errors, etc. I have asked repeatedly, what user, what patient, what error, give me something to work with here. It works fine for me. Last night another email saying it had to be fixed tomorrow! All caps and all that. I wrote back that it was the same as asking the doctor to diagnose without seeing the patient or even getting a list of symptoms. I'm good, but not that good. I know they want me to go there or something, but this should be easy.

My patience is just gone for humans. Sigh. (wow, long post, let's see how many typos!)

Excellent call!! And that dress is great!

Six more days, Sara! You can do it!!

Love that dress! Hooray water! Yay classes that are more interesting than they might be! Woo fancy cocktails! Dana dreaming about Hil explaining math properly warms the cockles of my heart.

I have negative motivation to do anything.

I did pull out the tiny Christmas tree last night. Maybe I'll do that. But then I'd have to get up.

Oh, Fuck 2016. The awesome indie bookstore near me is closing: [link]

My son's GF helped me decorate the tree. Also, son's GF loves carrots. You have been spared much of my glee over having a lovely young woman around my house on a daily basis, but it is an absolute delight.

Oh Tom, that sucks! DH and I just watched "You've Got Mail" over the weekend which led to the indie bookstore conversation. He was holding me responsible because of my Nook love.

Ugh, Tom, that really sucks

Booo, Tom.

Okay, if I do some work, then I can spend time on the Christmas tree.

Bookcourt is closing??? NO. I forbid it.
