I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Who just managed to scratch their own face? Right in time for a visit with the in-laws?

(It's me.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm taking the MongoDB course from "MongoDB University" -- which is their official site for learning how to use their DB system -- and I am being sent into white-hot rage because their instructions are all set to a previous version of their database interface.

Their. own. site. Their. official. way. to. learn. their. product.

It really doesn't inspire confidence that this will be a db that a lot of people will make a living at managing, you know?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"from one A/C to another"

Yeah. It wasn't that hot here this weekend, but it's been super muggy. So a Southerner was complaining, and I was like, "Isn't this your native weather???" He was like, yeah, but A/C.

FYI, tonight's L&O has a baby Idris Elba (fans self) and Kerry Washington, pre-nose job.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

(Continued thank you. I'm still processing, because I'm a kind of person who needs a bit of time to process good things as well as bad things. And it's a big change. I'm actually starting in three weeks with a summer semester of economics, math, and statistics, three and a half days a week. I'm still more excited than fearing the numbers at this point.)

Their. own. site. Their. official. way. to. learn. their. product.

Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. You described 20% of most of my work days. So much of "it is known", less much of "and it is mentioned and documented here. Oh wait, it's not. What they probably meant in that section is..."

Punishingly Intricate

Congrats, Shir!!! Hope you can continue to be excited about your achievement for a long time!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've been at work for 45 minutes, and I'm already asking myself, "Is it Thursday yet?"

I started off my vacation with a massage, which was a great call. Next I'm going to take a picnic lunch to a local park.

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

Woo, Shir! Congratulations!

Grr, Theo. That is both shocking and somehow not. Which only makes it more aggravating, really.

Woke up with a sore throat that does not seem to be going away. Whine.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That is great news on both fronts Shir, congrats!

Temperatures here in AR are in the 90s and muggy, but that's nothing out of the ordinary for the beginning of July, and the frequent rainfall seems to have deprived the mosquitoes of their usual stagnant pond breeding grounds.

I spent much of the weekend deep diving for evidence of Richard Madden and Brandon Flynn being a new-ish celebrity couple, with the result that I ended up dreaming about dating Madden myself last night. Now that's how a new hobby should reward interest; stamp collecting and gardening take note!
