See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Whine whine whine: After two diligent hours, I have floundered my way through most of the state propositions (need to research 52, which I don't understand at all and am bitterly angry at because why do we bother sending people to Sacramento to do this stuff for a living if they force helpless voters to wrestle with crap like this?, but I think the rest of them are more or less sorted out) and made it to SF Proposition C (we have A-X and then RR thrown in just for fun) before I ran out of steam.

I'm starting to get that looming-AP-exam doomy feeling that I did not miss one bit when it faded away decades ago.

Oh, crap, I need to read all the propositions this weekend. Or Monday? Definitely need to make time for that.

I think you just earned some kind of patch, Tep!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

RE: the pennies

Guys, if you want to point and laugh, my first instinct was that one of the pennies was a lighter color and I was all like Picard - How the fuck...?????

Glamcookie is me.

JZ, I really hated voting in SF. the CA ballot measures and the study guides for them were worse than grad school!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Today has been Tino-iest day of the month. And we're only three days in.

In addition to insane stuff at large, I order milk shakes for the twins at from drive thru. They handed them to me in a carrier. When I went to take one out, it toppled all over my car, my own drink, the stick shift, my skirt, and the passenger seat. I was livid. ARGH. Such a stupid thing to have happen and now my car will smell unpleasantly like spilt milk.

I could have cried.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am sorry about the milkshakes,Kat - that just sucks

Count me in on the lighter color penny corner

Oh, ugh. I believe I have cried in very similar situations, Kat, while berating myself that crying over spilt milk is exactly what is no use!

In better news of the day: I am finally having my sandwich, and it is good. Way underestimated how long it would take to heat up the ham, but did not overestimate the tastiness.

Y'all, I think I thought there were 9 pennies because I read the problem as "8 pennies and a lighter penny [making 9]". Oops.
