Our wings are not tired.

How are Roombas on carpet?

It has little brushes that agitate the carpet. It has a seriously big task here, so we'll see how it goes!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

IV antibiotics are tough stuff. Good vibes, Cindy.

It's a good thing I'm not currently having a migraine and trying to get something from my doctor's office, as I still don't have my prescription.

Jessica, I don't think we actually disagree, especially about how much GOTV and registration work lies ahead.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Also convince people that third-party candidates are not going to solve the problem, so voting for them - or not voting at all - as a protest is not something they should do. Honestly, if this were the Democratic candidate, I think I'd vote for him.

I haven't really mentioned it anywhere yet, but: I got a job! I start on Aug. 5th.

ION, the Throwback Thursday photos I posted on FB make me want to go back, shake my younger self, tell her that she deserves to be treated better by guys she dates, and that she is WAY cuter than she thinks.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I was sorely tempted on Prime Days by a robotic vacuum and the super-cheap Fire Stick, but was able to stick with the boycott by virtue of finally figuring out how to hook up my Wi-Fi enabled BluRay (YouTube on my TV! So exciting!) and finding a similarly-priced vacuum on Zulily. It shipped today, so I don't love it yet, but I'm super-anticipate-y!

Glad to hear good news about J, sj!

Plenty of ~ma for your son, Cindy!

Who feels like a little writing project? I'm working on my goals (since my immediate supervisor retired, and the dept head keeps forgetting that we exist, my little group hasn't gotten our 2019 goals submitted yet, oops!) I've got a nice little BS collection that's probably good enough to submit, but I feel like I'd like to say something about "managing to cover the most necessary of my former supervisor's duties while still doing my own job" (the "and not killing anyone" is implied) But can't think of a proper way to phrase it so that it will get through as a goal and not just look like sarcasm and bitching. Help?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I haven't really mentioned it anywhere yet, but: I got a job! I start on Aug. 5th.

Yay! I saw your posts on Tumblr asking for good vibes. That's excellent news!

ION, the Throwback Thursday photos I posted on FB make me want to go back, shake my younger self, tell her that she deserves to be treated better by guys she dates, and that she is WAY cuter than she thinks.

OH MY GOD SO CUTE. Those pictures are adorable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Health-ma to your kid, Cindy!

Congrats, Atropa!
