Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am slowly being driven crazy by the professors I am working with on this class writing, "In the article entitled 'blah-blah-blah'" instead of just "In the article'blah-blah-blah'" in every single instance they use that phrase. Also, I don't think every test question needs to refer to the article where the answer is found.

T, maybe instead like "and need to be better about prioritizing" or asking for direction or whatever?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"improve my prioritization and delegation skills"

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

Hm. Thanks. Now I'm back to thinking I will just leave that section blank like I usually do.

And done. Don't have to think about that for another couple of months when we get the official top-down version.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys, I have working lights in every room of my apartment! AND working outlets! It's pretty exciting, I'm not going to lie. (Although the fixture I agonized over picking for my bedroom isn't quite bright enough, but whatever. I will deal with it.)

Also, the switches are all in the wrong places, which is more of a thing. I may actually ask if it's too late to change some of them.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I got a promotional email from Micro Center today, a coupon for a free 32GB memory card or thumb drive. "Thanks for being our customer!" it says. "Please except this great offer!" @@

I don't know what those words in that order might mean, excatly, sarameg, but sympathies.

There was electrical work because a part was fading slowly. Electrician nearly electrocuted himself in the process somehow and the resultant electrical chaos caused every major system to suffer some form of power failure. Lost phones, large parts of network, storage, all the base systems under the archive (mine) and then when it came back, it came back all fucked up because that's what pulling plugs does and why you have uninterruptible power supplies. Which only work when they aren't put in trouble (aka disabled) mode when you gotta swap power cables.

It was a clusterfuck and I'm still working to clean up the mess. Which is at least less bad because we had the systems pretty quiet because we were planning on bouncing the servers for other reasons this morning anyway.

Uhg. I may be able to speak human again before the week ends.
