Buffistas

Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I got royally screwed last year, in what should have been a freaking stellar review - worked incredibly hard, took on some toxic personalities and some major challenges to help out my boss, won a top manager award, and my team brought in 5 of the company's 10 largest wins. And I got shit. No merit increase, my standard bonus.

This year I actually come out slightly better than last, but also I didn't actually work very hard.

ETA: new role, new manager. I jumped before I was pushed. But I do need to find a better balance somehow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, that was some bullshit. I know I'm not ambitious, but not working that hard and doing better financially seems like the way to go to me!

Geez, that's ridiculous Brenda. But yay for at least getting something this year.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, now I remember. Yeah, that was some bullshit. I am even more on Team No Fucks to Give

My Goals for Next Year: clothing myself appropriately every day that I go to the office. Because getting dressed is hard today. Should've done laundry last night, I guess.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Nuns are hardcore.

they don't call the head nun "Mother Superior" any more

But I'm sorry, I can't allow this.

brenda, that sucks. Is it that bullshit evaluation system where everything has to fit into a bell curve, so some people have to be at or below expectations, no matter how they performed?

I did get my steroids last night. Woot. And slept for 10.5 hours, despite the massive dose of steroids I took at 8.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

They arrested a man for making some of the JCC threats: [link]

He sounds like a real piece of work.

The last couple of times I've asked people to do peer reviews for me, they've asked if I'm going up for promo. I don't know why there seems to be a disconnect between my stakeholders who think I could be up for promo, and my management, where I'm just trying to keep my head above water.

Hey Californians! Did you know that "if it's yellow, let it mellow" can damage your toilet? I did not.* And now I'm going to be $900 poorer. OTOH I think I will be getting a low-flow toilet.

* it's something to do with mineral buildup in the toilet that interferes with a valve at the bottom of the toilet.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Did you know that "if it's yellow, let it mellow" can damage your toilet? I did not.

I need to mention this to Tim, who is engineer of the Let It Mellow train.
