Seriously.

Anyone's kid or niece/nephewlet into Arthur? Got several taken out of circulation books in the library st the moment hc $1 each plus mailing if interested. Also a copy of Graeme Base's Animalia is anyone is interested.

I can't wait until the day I come off work & don't fall asleep for 3 hrs. Also, my voice is currently gone.

Does anyone like the new Slack logo?

My introduction included the description "swastika made of dicks" so that sort of colored things.

2.5 more hours of work tonight. I'm not hungry, but I want to snack. I'm trying not to. I also want to school someone on FB, but I can't find the articles that I know will back me up.

I'm once again waiting on insurance approval to get a MRI on my ankle. Here's hoping that the order coming from an Ortho instead of my regular doc makes a difference. This tendonitis thing is getting really old.

...well yeah. Now that's all I can see, too!

My job aspiration is to still have my job at the end of this administration, since apparently Individual 1 thinks we should all be on the street.

In other news, this Buzzfeed article about I-1 telling Cohen to lie to Congress seems... interesting.

I am getting the whiskey out so I can read about this in the proper frame of mind...

How are you holding up, Consuela?

I was just thinking about how lucky I am that even when I didn't have any cash, I always had too much credit, so if I was confident I'd get paid eventually I could just take a cash advance on a credit card. Which is not great, but at least would keep the bills current.

I really hope that Cohen taped many conversations. Tapes would be helpful. I don't know why Cohen doesn't bother me as much as the rest of them. Flynn, Manafort, Kushner, and others I really want to see in jail. Cohen is a sleeze, but seems more like he got caught up in something that spun out of control. Enjoying doing his job, more than the treasonous behavior of so many around him. It could be that he reminds me of a lot of guys I grew up with that were lawyers and accountants for mob types. Cohen and the Trump accountants that stiff contractors and make fake green cards for employees are rotten sleezes, but not at the level of those that traded countless millions of dollars from foreign advisories. Treasonous selling out of the country at a level higher than what Cohen seems to have done. Cohen more involved in business type stuff as opposed to altering the party platform, or doing Putin's bidding.

I could just be rambling as the coffee hasn't done its thing yet. Cohen could be just as much a traitor as the rest of them. I wish it was a few years in the future and we were watching a historical movie recreation like All The President's Men. The sequence of events and roles of the various parties will be clearer in the future. And we know that Putin will drop what he has on Trump when it serves him to do so.

Yeah, maybe some more coffee and some actual work.

More rambling!

Consuela and the other immediately affected by the shutdown, Kat and others immediately affected by the strike, Gud and other affected by corporate maneuvers all remind me of the difference in working your own business.

Business owners may have stupid levels of stress, and absurd hours, but more is at least in theory under our control. Major customers can do things that hurt, but we can get other customers. Random whims of the President or votes by boards don't hit us the same. And we only have to have absurd pointless waste of time early morning meetings if that is something we enjoy.

And who wouldn't enjoy that???
