mild daily venting/fretting 

Actually doing pretty well today, just fending off low-grade stress from a bunch of places and it's better to talk about.

There's a tiny diagonal fissure in the LCD screen for my work laptop, aka "The World's Biggest Punchcard." It's just sitting there "fine," right on the verge between where I should and shouldn't worry about it.

And work is kinda fraught with other little opportunities to embarrass myself today, worst part about this new project. :|

And of course, I want to smack... well, not Millennials, but some avatar of fanatical self-righteous "woke" ones. I'm seeing sentiments like "kill all cis people" passed off as ha-ha-only-serious on a regular basis, and especially given how many show full-bore Leninist sympathies, YES I AM FUCKING WORRIED ABOUT THIS. I no longer trust our side to have superior memetic hygiene or not recapitulate abusive hierarchies just by virtue of being the putative "good guys."

Let's see, what else is there to vent about... Getting a little annoyed at the lack of cafes where I can actually *work*, between outlet availability, wifi, and NOT PUTTING BLARING SPEAKERS OVERHEAD. But that will probably improve once Peg and I get a desk set up for me.

Uh... feeling guilty because I accidentally threw out Peggy's cheese and yogurt while cleaning the fridge? That kinda sucks.

And, um, I can't get past Round 14 or so on Solitarica because of that fucking Jelly Cube? OK, these are 1st World Problems, I admit it. :) Things are okay for the moment. I just need to convince my brain that the bunch of little tiny things that are slightly broken aren't a herald of something ELSE about to break massively.

Gee, it's almost like my nervous system is still braced for utter disaster out of nowhere due to a momentary lapse, for some odd reason. >_<
