Go antibodies! Yeah, hydrate a bunch.
My heart expands / 'tis grown a bulge in't / inspired by / your beauty effulgent.

Uuuugg. I got given a project where I’m supposed to do my job and also a different job. And I hate it and have no idea what I’m doing and have been doing it for two months but only get the training next week. But Monday I have to present a big slide deck of various things to higher ups that is a routine process except NOT FOR MY NORMAL JOB and I have no idea what any of it is (even the parts where I can fill it out because it says “insert screenshot of X” I don’t know what I would then SAY about X??) hate this.

What is even happening?
Feeling a little crappy -- headache, generally achy, and a fever. I'm hoping to sleep it off. And side effects are a fair tradeoff for antibodies, so I can live with it.
That's how I felt about the side-effects. I didn't feel well, but I've felt worse, and at least I knew the shot was working.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Thanks, Laura. This year as every year, I'm grateful to share my birthday with the great Willie Mays, who turns 90 today.
It's been quiet this year, which I am beyond ok with. As Ann Leckie says (and I believe it was in amyparker's tagline at one point): "It's only ever been one step and then the next."
I love you all, even if I'm a lot less demonstrative about it than I was at one time.

Toddson, that reminds me of this old sketch from The Edge.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
So, we have someone coming tomorrow from a company called Cincinnati Hoarding to assess the situation. So that’s where my fucking life is right now. I feel like a goddamn shitshow failure of a human being.

You are a perfectly fine human being, Tep. I’m sorry this feels so terrible.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You are a perfectly fine human being, Tep.
This is true. You know what's good? Getting some help in a situation like this.
Put aside your reflexive shame-response, and see that this is part of the process of fixing the situation. It's almost like seeing a therapist. And alleviating it going forward. It's going to be okay.
