I made a mistake. Granted, it came when I was dealing with a lot of shit and couldn't deal with anything beyond the next (gallbladder dramorama) but I fucking should've applied for a deputy branch mgr. I didn't. Naturally, didnt get it because didn't offer interest as I was preoccupied. This bugs me. Guy who got it is great,but damnit.

ETA: don't need hairpats, just needed to acknowledge it.

That's too bad, sarameg. I hope the next such opportunity comes with less in the way of dramatic distractions.

I am about two posts away from blacklisting almost everything on Tumblr. Those two posts will probably contain the words "Why doesn't this have more notes?" or "The mainstream media is ignoring this!" or "Nazi."

I'm sorry, sara. That's just a bummer. When we are in pain it's hard to focus on anything other than surviving.

Been there, sarameg. That sucks.

I forgot I was gonna tell y'all, got to quote the Ideal Gas Law at my coworkers, which is always fun for me.

Totally thought this was going to be about Ballghazi/Inflategate.

Football is not too relevent out here right now, alas.

I got to use my sunglasses this morning! I'm unreasonably delighted by this.

Yay! And I just verified that the museum does in fact have my sunglasses. I probably can't get over there while they're open until Saturday, but I'm relieved to know where they are.

God, I am selfishly glad I no longer work for the DOE. I can't imagine the stress levels in my old workplace right now.

It was nice to read the reports of the Obamas escaping to Branson's island. If ever a couple deserved a luxurious retreat it is surely them. May they be able to unwind. The transition can't be easy.
