ltc isn't quite there yet either. There is a karate class I want to sign her up for, but she has to be completely trained for that.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

I'm sorry, meara. That sucks.
That sounds fairly positive, msbelle. Good luck.
I am so tired. What with one thing another I didn't get any dinner until after 9 and thar is just not how I live.

I want to hear LDB from a rock band with a kick-ass drummer, just to liven it up a bit. Let's really hear that drummer play for him.
This is the drummingest version I know: [link]

The Flaming Lips have a version out there. I don't think it's very drum heavy, though? Guitar forward.
Jack in the Box has a Pumpkin Spice shake made with real pumpkin - pretty good!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If you catch the Ben Folds holiday special on PBS in a couple of weeks, you can see him do the Bing/Bowie version with a tap dancer. FYI.

Our wings are not tired.
I spent some time trying the various holiday jazz stations available in the car. Not quite accustomed to the new streaming service after years of Sirius, but getting there. I did not get any jazzy LDB in my travels though.
This Friday morning I did at least remember to listen to the Breakfast of Champions stream on my computer, and for this I am more awake for my tasks at hand.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I've put together an LDB-free playlist for the car. But I'm still vulnerable while shopping and otherwise out in the world, so I figure it isn't really cheating

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Today I learned that "unlimited" PTO really means "basically what you had before, plus or minus maybe a day." So I guess it doesn't matter that we're going back to non-unlimited PTO.
I looked at job listings yesterday, and everything sounded so boring it made me want to cry. Not that this job isn't boring, but I at least have seniority and good pay and plenty of vacation, so boohoo for me.

Dana, that's kinda where I am. At my company I get lots of vacation and am about to get more based on how long I've been there. So I'm thinking maybe if I could find an internal transfer? But not real hopeful.

It's 7:45am and I'm already all "this fuckin' day" for just tiny things, mostly my own stupidity, but GAH
