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. :|

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. >_<

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."
