I find myself in an odd state of being wherein I am simultaneously bouncing off the walls and mind-bendingly exhausted.
Caution: naughty language ahead–enjoy or beware at your own risk! (I am much too tired at this point to care whether I offend or not.)
The major case of the happies is from an overdose of […]

w00t!
I have officially Gotten Lots of Shit Done today.
I rule!
It’s also nice that a substantial amount of the remaining stuff that I hadn’t even had a chance to start yet is going to be done by someone else. It’s amazing how much of a load off of my mind it is. Until I […]

Good lord, but it’s been a crazy week.
Had an utterly horrible meeting on Monday (half of which involved being yelled at, then being told “no one is yelling, everything is under control,” and that also included the same person completely misrepresenting what I’d said in a previous meeting, to the point that it was nearly […]

This morning I had the overwhelming feeling that I should have just written off the day and gone back to bed. It turns out that my gut feeling was right, and I should really learn to listen to it more often.
Apparently I spent most of last night thrashing around in my sleep, as opposed […]

Now, about the car weirdness… This is better as a list, so:

Back in late November, my traction control light came on a couple of times while I was driving, and not in a good way. It came on in a way that says, “Hi, I’m your traction control system, and I’ll be taking […]

Sadly, this is not a rant about how the BBC needs to get its head out of its arse and bring back Dr. Who (which it most obviously does, but that’s well known and there’s nothing else I can add to the debate at this point).
No, I have to complain about my recent experience with […]

Either there is no God, or there is and He’s a dirty son of a bitch.
My parents called us, late last night, just as we were drifting off to sleep. They called us to give us the news.
My grandmother’s belated bone scan — they were supposed to do it a couple weeks ago, said […]

With all of the insane hours I have been working lately, especially in the last month or so, there are a lot of little trivial things that have kind of gone by the wayside. I barely had time to eat, sleep, and pay bills. Well, it turns out that one thing that slid […]
