Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Really, I'm sketchy as hell. Y'all are brave.

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

You are way less scary and confusing than WebMD, though!

Gonna have to work harder on that.

So, something went wrong with the network at work today, no one can get to our ERP or the shared drive, so half my department is now off because there is literally no work they can accomplish without the ERP and the rest of us have just been advised to "stand by" for an urgent communication to go out to "all retailers" - that is 53 customers for me and another 71 I am backing up while my coworker is out on medical leave. Why has no one learned to do a Mail Merge? Or something? This is a very stupid way to go about it. [ETA - that is to say, having three people email a billion contacts that are not actually stored anywhere with a form letter attached]

Eata AFTER we have been down for almost a full day. Still standing by and east coast customers are going to be closed soon…

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S has been “watching” Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated.(meaning he’s been fast-forwarding through many eps) I’m so tired of it.

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

It's always the rich old guy in a mask, Mr. S. Always.

Welp, still no instructions for communicating with customers and my work day is over, so I will not be standing by any longer…

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Wow, -t. That... sounds exceedingly stupid. Run away! Run away!

Thing 1: it appears that I've lost enough weight that I'm no longer considered obese according to the BMI, although the BMI can go fuck itself. So, nice I guess?

Thing 2: I made it through my performance evaluation and had a reasonably productive conversation even though I've had the overwhelming urge to quit my job and disappear into the woods. The main argument against quitting is that healthcare is expensive and we're still in the panini, so maybe I should stick around a bit longer for health insurance and equity that hasn't vested yet.

Geez, -t, that's mind boggling.
