Yeah, I'm usually in, like, hiking boots or something so if I just loosen the laces they are actually pretty comfortable. I also don't fly very often, so it's not like I do this a lot.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Coding and Sleeping
Today is just crazy. My son said something to my wife that made her all upset so now she's sort of given up on him and left everything to me. She also seems to have decided not to have any involvement in getting my daughter's new car, leaving that to me. Meanwhile, I'm super busy at work. Today would be a good day to start a meth habit. Better yet, I'm going to have no time for her and she'll take that as further evidence that I don't care about her, even though it's just that I have too many fucking things to do at once.

Our wings are not tired.
Your focus has plenty to deal with between a new job and having children. I'd focus on the things where you can have success and be appreciated. Clearly the wife is never going to be either satisfied or appreciated so put that at the bottom of the list.

I'm sorry, Gud. That's rough. And I'm sorry for your kids, that sounds pretty bad for them, too.
I'm thinking of going to a Mardi Gras event at a localish winery. They say "Authentic New Orleans Cuisine" on their flyer, but some of that appears to be "Apricot Chipotle Meatball Porboys" which, don't get me wrong, I would eat but....Um.

It's a trap! Don't make me tell the story of the red beans again.

Oh, do I remember this? No rice? Soup?
So, this new birthday celebration system where the department has a cake for everyone who had a birthday in that month so no one is left out apparently means that since I am the only one with a February birthday in the department I get no cake until March. The end of March. I do not find this satisfactory.

The soup one was the time my mother ordered jambalaya. And they asked if she wanted rice with it, because it was basically a soup.
The red beans was when I ordered it and they asked me if I wanted cheese and onions on top.

Oh, dear. I think I blocked that out but I kinda remember now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, Jesse, you know how we were talking about how short weeks were subjectively longer than 5-day weeks because of teh concentrated workload? I am not finding the converse to be true this week. Just so you know.
Booooo. My own week is actually feeling OK, but apparently the Casual Friday email was so long ago (possibly Monday or Tuesday) that I forgot about it by the time today came.
(But winter + airplane + formal event = THREE SHOE TYPES)
That's just objectively true, and sometimes you do need more shoes than days.

That is bullshit. Monthly cake should be monthly cake!!
