All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If you're meal prepping, it's that you're making multiple meals at once and not planning to eat them right away but rather during the week (or in the future sometime, if you're freezing them).

Interesting! I can go with that, I guess.

Is it obvious that I've been listening to Jane Austen all day? I feel like it's very obvious.

I mean, not until you said that!

People, what am I going to do with my life now? I just want to work with nice people and get paid a modest amount to do something with my talents, and I not very hopeful that that exists.

That sounds like such a reasonable goal, flea! I wish I had any sort of advice on how to achieve it.

I am serious about looking into instructional design. Universiies need it now, and you have a Master's. You could also probably work at a distance. I would hire you in a minute.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My peeve is "price point."

Sometimes it seems to mean "price" and other times, "budget."

Both of which already have perfectly cromulent (and different!) words already.

Hm, "price point" has a fairly precise meaning in my workplace, but I imagine it has drifted out beyond the word of marketing to be used in a more nebulous fashion elsewhere.

Our wings are not tired.

Busy day so far. Up at 6 to do a bit of work until 7, when I drove my son to work, which takes 1:40 round trip. Work, sudoku, work, then made myself some lunch. Have to leave again at 1 to pick up son, then to bank to open an account for him.

Then the library has a outside used book sale, and clarinet concert in the library gazebo. The library itself is closed, but you can order your book to pick up from them. And they are continuing their summer concert series where they have local artists do their thing in the gazebo and you can spread a blanket or bring a lawn chair to listen. They do that twice a week.

Also working at 6, but got my usual Tuesday stuff done fairly fast and have been somewhat fuzzy about what needs doing since...sadly I don't think going back to bed will be an option.
