I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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

I have a serious case of the Can't Evens today. I'm at my desk but NOTHING is getting done. I had one tiny burst of productivity around 10am and since then I've been staring at my to-do list and then drifting over to the browser where my personal tabs are open.

(But why, Jess, I can hear you ask, don't you just close that browser window entirely so you can focus? YES THAT IS A LEGITIMATE SUGGESTION I GUESS I JUST DON'T WANT TO OKAY)

What is even happening?

One of the ways I first diagnose myself with the Can't Evens is when I realize I Can't Even close my browser window. It's a legitimate symptom, Jess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought at first you had a case of the Chris Evans.

Because books.

Plei is one who usually has a case of the Chris Evans.

I can't even today either. It's such a Friday, I just want to go home and crash.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I thought at first you had a case of the Chris Evans.

I thought the same thing!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, now I've got both cases!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have a serious case of the Can't Evens today myself. I need to edit this one paper and I've been sitting for hours Not Doing That. FFS self get it together.

It's been two weeks since I had the first interview at Second Company and I haven't gotten any response. Should I email them and gently inquire where we might be in the process or leave it be?

Also, I have a third interview at First Company on Monday and I've heard through back channels that I'm the front runner, so I have cautiously high hopes. That one is my preference. Continuing job~ma please!

This is definitely a day where I would have snuck out early -- houseguest coming and my house could still use some neatening, but I have a stupid 5pm meeting! I'm so pissed about it.

A 5pm Friday meeting?? That's cruel.

It's terrible and I hate it.
