Ugh, Dana.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I mean, boohoo for me, but still. Grr.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
My current first-world problem - I work in a building that's in two sections. They're "modernizing" the elevators. I pretty much have to enter through the other section, due to construction work being done next to my section. The other section is, I think, 15 floors. It has eight elevators. However, whenever I go to use those elevators there are, at most, three operational. Some mornings, there are a dozen or more people waiting for one of those elevators. My section is seven floors and has three elevators. One is being worked on and, most of the time, there's only one operational. The wait for the elevator - since I have to take two of them - often seems interminable. AND, to make life more difficult, the ones in the other section are unreliable - one morning the elevator was supposed to take me to the floor that would give me access to my section ... only it didn't go there - went four floors above - so I had to press for an elevator to go down and wait for one to come. In my section, the modernized elevator doesn't always recognize my security fob, so I can't rely on it taking me to the floor where I can cross to the other section so I can get out. (in case you're interested, the sections are referred to as "towers" so I'm working in two towers ... and some days it feels like Sauron is on my case)

Is the first time your kid cries while watching a movie a milestone?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tomorrow night the only TV watching I'll do will be stuff from the DVR. (Once Mr. S is in bed, that is.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It's all Netflix in this house tomorrow night.
What movie was it, sj?
If I start drinking now, I won't stop. If I space it right I could achieve and maintain a pleasant mellow glow until Wednesay morning, I think. It's all right, I have more Scotch.

The good news is that my aunt, whose lungs collapsed during prep for surgery last week, is breathing on her own now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is good news, Dana!
This is embarrassing, but I'm finally getting my smart tv hooked up to the internet. I've had it for a long time! But I could never get it to recognize the wifi. Well, I have new wifi now, so thought I'd try it again, and it worked! Maybe I'll get Netflix now.

Punishingly Intricate
Shit, there goes my unlimited PTO.
That sucks!! We've had some kinda sucky changes to benefits as we've grown and become more a part of our parent company but still have the unlimited PTO.
