People at work are annoying, and not just because I didn't sleep enough! This stuff was annoying last week, too! Boooo.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
How to feel old at work:
Step 1: Listen to your co-workers say "Maybe the reason I never got into Buffy is because I didn't watch it as a kid."
Step 2: Realize they don't mean "because I was a busy high school/college student and just never got into it" but "because I wasn't old enough to watch that kind of TV when it was first on the air"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, as usual, dear, Jessica.
Work is wanting me to do too much work today. I would prefer not to.

Argh, I am also annoyed at work. When you ask for info and are told historically that part has taken 77 days, on average, why would you then send the client something that indicates it will be done in negative 5 days? And when I point that out, why update it to zero days? And when I point it out again, why do you add a column saying zero days is the goal but maybe the last date will be 77 days? No!! Zero days is never the goal!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have spoken to four people about prescriptions and insurance this morning. I feel like that's enough accomplishments for the day.

Ugh. That sounds like a recipe for an unhappy client, but what do I know? "Maybe you already have this! Or maybe it will be three months -- who's to say?"

In The Kids Are Alright news, a coworker who is one year out of undergrad just told me about her good weekend knitting while watching Law & Order: SVU.

Lol, that sounds like an excellent weekend!
Yeah, saying "three days BEFORE you give us the final document, someone else we have to then provide it to will have already submitted that final document to a review" is...wobbly timey wimey stuff.

I am back at work! People are being kind and friendly, and I brought in a cake.
