It is a cold and rainy morning. I am working but DH is doing the proper thing and is still in bed. I think this means he has to take me out to dinner tonight.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Cindy, I'm sorry. Probably dumb question -- is there anything your son can do online to keep up with at least some classes? Maybe independent research?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jeeesus Christ, this prescription I've been trying to get for a week was apparently sent to a completely different pharmacy than the one I use for everything else? I don't know why they insist on using this pharmacy for this one drug, or why it didn't occur to anyone to TELL ME they were sending it there.
And this potential tech writing job is turning into more of a business analyst job, and I am too tired to work through all of these nuances and shit.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oy. But you can have prescription now, I hope?
Oh, hey, I'm a Business Analyst. That job has probably very little in common with mine, though. It's one of those titles that means nothing, afaict

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Continued ~ma, Cindy.

It's wrong of me to think of any job interview that doesn't end with an on-the-spot job offer to be a failure, right?
I mean, I know how things work in the real world, where there's HR and boss managers have to meet you first and stuff, but really, that's what my heart wants.

Unless you are interviewing with people who you've worked with before, I'm pretty sure that's very unlikely to happen. If there's an HR department involved, then I'd say it never happens.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought of this just now for no good reason, but: When I was at the band retreat the other weekend, the bathrooms were all-gender. There were a couple of stalls, a couple of showers, and a urinal kind of tucked next to the stalls. I was surprised that men would just go use the urinal when I was (for example) brushing my teeth! We were facing away from each other and I wouldn't have seen anything anyway, but I just thought it was interesting. And not something I bet a woman would do if there were an equivalent situation.
Men, what say you?

I can say from the marathons I did that men weren't shy about public urination on the sides of the route.

I don't like using the facilities when other men are in the room, but as Jeff Goldblum says, when you gotta go, you gotta go.
