Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Yay!

My favorite special skill so far is "can operate a Zamboni"

That is so great.

I have a snow day today! So far, haven't does a goddamn thing except sit in front of the fire and cruise the internet.

Yay! That's the best kind of snow day.

OK, I finally got to a senior person about one of the annoying situations, so we'll see what she says.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sounds like a good way to spend a snow day to me.

Our wings are not tired.

No snow, but it is cold here. I have on thick socks and a sweatshirt! 57F! (well inside it is still 70) If it keeps up I might have to turn on the heat. I feel I should do that once a year anyway to burn the dust off the system or something.

I am seriously bad moody today. Like I should call it a day super early and just go to bed with a book. I am just in foul humor. No idea why.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Now I'm earwormed with "King of Spain" ("Now the Habs want me to drive the Zamboni")

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

People are being kind and friendly, and I brought in a cake.

These two things are probably not unrelated.

I am out from under my work task which has bedeviled me for weeks, costing me much sleep and aggravation and brain-thinky problem solving.

For those of you keeping track at home, this is to replace our toy prototypes which were blown up by the bomb squad.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Now I'm earwormed with "King of Spain"

Well, now I am, too. But I suspect it might be a different one...

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It's 64 here, with basically no indoor climate control. My feet have been cold all day.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If it's a theatre tech this may well mean they worked on board a Royal Caribbean ship at some point.

Yep.

Guys, my workplace is actually keeping the building closed on Wednesday because of cold. I get a hibernation day! I also told my crew not to come in tomorrow, so actually I get two!

Yay hibernation days!

The logical progression of "oh, you can drive a Zamboni? You must have worked on cruise ships" is more than a little amazing.
