Crap. Ultra picky coworker is auditing my work again, I can’t tell her no. So I’m looking forward to her making me feel completely incapable of doing my job. AGAIN.

@LilahTovMoon oh gah just what we need, a way to parse “I have to poop” as “let’s turn on the microwave”

@GoodNewsGreyShoes thanks, just; even if I can get past a background being trained I’m a complete fuck up here to convenience someone superior, it’s very difficult to get past the feeling I’ll always be officially regarded as a fuck up or officially required to be mostly someone else’s convenience. If that makes sense?

I think it’s the line about not expecting to grow flowers in the desert, and seeing the sun in wintertime (surely it can’t rain nonstop May through July?) but I’ve always parsed “In a Big Country” as being about Australia, rather than Scotland.

@anthracite “so he just sits there in a big lump?”
“That’s not all he does, he angsts about being a pawn in the greater game of law and chaos.”

We’d all be better off if this were the day a massive stroke or heart attack took me out, but we’re not that lucky, so I will try to do an okay job.

@frost I've never been able to go more than 2-4 hours of job hunt stuff at a time, and figure it's just like any other activity where after a while you will want and need a break.

the down side of aging plus delicious tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner is the sort of acid reflux I used to only get after chorizo burritos with more than one margarita.

if I had a nickel for every Blue Oyster Cult song about Elric of Melnibone, I'd have three nickels, which isn't much, but most groups don't even have *one* Elric song.

has anyone ever graffiti'd an "In and Out Burger" sign with "Funky Claude was running"

we all came out to Montauk
on the Lake Geneva shoreline
makin' fart noises with our armpits
we didn't have much time

I would dance like the Queen of the Eyesores,
and the rest of our lives would've fared well

coyote sing along hour 

three dead in a crash on the number 4
two witnesses blowin' up high
not sure whose will be done, you can call me a sinner for a-wonderin' why

hey darlin'! sleepin' on the blacktop
hey darlin'! runnin' through the trees, honey
hey darlin'! leavin' for the next town
less'n mah sense catches up with me

they had fancy bread on sale, so I bought some *fancy* bread, and dinner is cheese sandwiches I can eat with tomato soup

@frost Oh definitely! Save that sucker, customize it to whatever you apply for next.
