Caaaaaaaake.
That's all I have to say on this Friday that is not yet over.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I had cake last night and now I want more cake.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I do not have cake. Oh, but I have biscotti.

Oh, this is classic. Editor-in-chief asks me a question, I ask EditSupport, they ask the software liaison, liaison asks the admin, admin asks the Editor-in-Chief. *facepalm*
So nobody knows the answer to the question, and the process can't move forward until the question's answered.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Beautiful Zenkitty. And all too familiar. Sometimes made worse, ime, when I know the answer but no one believes me.
Y'all. I am supposed to be off Monday and Tuesday for Passover but just thinking about trying to explain to my backups what needs to be done while I am out is making me want to cry.

Man, I love stories like that. Are you sure he was really oblivious?
His wife seemed to think so, but I don't know. Oblivious or deliberate are both awesome in their own ways for this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, -t. Does it help that it's a today task that will mean two days off?
What will Jesse eat?? WILL SHE GET CAKE?!?
The answer was no, sadly! Maybe it went to a different common area, because I already went for my afternoon coffee, and still no cake.
I bet an airfryer would make those zeppole delicious again.
Why don't we have an airfryer?? (I don't even really know what one is, but I'm sure we should have one.)
I just had the most exhausting conversation with my best employee. I have to figure out what to do with her, because she's totally overstretched, but I think about 25% of it is her own doing. Example: I said to her, "X isn't expecting that project to be done this week, but it would be great if we could do it." I realize I was not crystal clear, but I did not mean go to heroic efforts to get it done today! But she did anyway. Or something. I'm also not entirely sure why this project is so hard anyway.

Holy shit, you guys, the daily White House email I get (?????) opens like this:
President Donald J. Trump calls on all civilized nations to join us in seeking to end the slaughter and bloodshed in Syria – and also to end terrorism of all kinds and all types. We ask for God's wisdom as we face the challenges of our very troubled world. We pray for the lives of the wounded, and for the souls of those who have passed. And we hope that as long as America stands for justice, then peace will – in the end – prevail.

Insane traffic cut me off from all the restaurants I wanted to get lunch from today, and I ended up getting a veggie burger I forgot to ask for mustard only on, thus falling victim to Burger King's mistaken belief that mayonnaise is perfect for every sandwich.

She sounds like me... or the way I used to be, before I had a slow-burn breakdown last year that ended with me getting back on ADs. Coping~ma to both of you.
I am cleaning the kitchen. The cats are confused.
I've decided to sell my FunkoPop figures on eBay. I like them, but there are other figures I'd rather have.
