For whatever reason, though the dashboard says it was paid, my UI check for last week hasn't arrived yet.

I'm hoping the check for this week actually arrives in a timely fashion and trying to figure out what the hell to do about a missing check.

Meanwhile, I'm supposed to be scheduled for additional phone interviews for a job, but the HR person has yet to get back to me with the when and I can't schedule anything until those are scheduled because I told them I was open for the next two weeks.

I'm failing to Natter because I feel like all I'll be doing is whining and I do enough of that on Facebook.

Mothertrucker. I just realized that I'll have to file in at least 2 states for YEARS because of the way states tax equity.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have an annoying author who keeps answering a question I didn't ask, while NOT answering the question I REALLY need the answer to. It would be like if I asked "What temperature do you set your thermostat at when you go to bed?" and the person responded "The temperature in the house is 68 degrees right now (1:30 p.m.), but in the summer can rise to as high as 77 degrees." DUDE. FRIENDO. How are you not comprehending the words I am asking?

I haven't been nattering because I'm in Copenhagen for work right now, and linear time has lost all meaning for me thanks to time zone nonsense and sleep deprivation.

On the plus side, I'm back in the land where not only is chocolate on bread is a perfectly normal snack, but my office provides the chocolate wafers and bread.

I mean, I recognize equity is a good problem to have. I'm just done with being an adult this week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In better me news, the DVD of the movie of the first book of the Louise Penny series I'm currently obsessed with is waiting for me at the library.

Wait, does Louise Penny have more than one series? Because I'm pretty sure my mother will FLIP OUT when I tell her there's a movie about Inspector Gamache.

I'm waiting to sign some estate related papers, while grinding my teeth about the administration's plan to cut 14% from the Coast Guard budget. Aaaargh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Got an offer for the house, but it's a lowball. Everyone cross your fingers that we can negotiate them up.

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

Good luck, Dana. Argh 'Suela and PMM and shrift and anyone else.

They apparently filmed Still Life [link] I only found out because I was searching for all available Louise Penny at the library and that was the thing with the shortest wait!

ET because wait, no, let me check that

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also, my husband's communication style does not mesh well with the realtor's, so conversations with him tend to be really circular and endless.
