Reminds me of the days editing grad student theses. Oh, 100 pages, eh? I know how you write. By the time I get rid of your needless prepositional phrases, your inflated conjunctions, and your awkward attempts to shut Word up about passive voice, it'll be 25.

This is one of my biggest fears regarding grad school. Oh you wrote a thesis? How quaint. Now I'll decimate you and your tiny paper. Good day.

Having been on the other side of the desk, I can tell you it's pretty humbling for the prof. Well, it was for me. Seeing your own words cited back at you in print sometimes makes you realize how dumb they sound.

Aaaaaagh this week at work, aaaaagh

We might as well have the "sonic the hedgehog is drowning" music on constantly on the PA system, getting gradually faster and faster.
 
My boss wants a follow up meeting today to discuss some of the HR issues I brought to her attention last week. Awesome.

Except that she won't tell me which ones she wants to discuss or when to expect her call? For real.

Yay?
 
Oh joy. I get to work in the cottage with the most immature children on the last day of the month - after working my regular overnight shift.

I am so annoyed at myself all I do is worry about the same bullshit and waffle every goddamn day, I start the day like "goddamn it I need to take some sort of action and DO something" and by the end of the day I'm like "Look man just let life work out as it does" AND EVERY FUCKING DAY RINSE REPEAT, I just want to be emotionally at peace, fuck.

For the last four years, the boss has said we're free to go at noon on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Not this year. The guy who usually does it is on vacation, and I guess no one wanted to take the fall.
 
I recently lost my favorite sunglasses, and it was really bright out today. So I stopped into a store looking for a cheap pair, and lucked out in finding some I actually like. Anyway, the checkout line takes forever, and by the time get outside, ready to enjoy my new shades, I walk out into Neuromancer.

That moment where you miss your ex and wonder if maybe, just maybe, you could do something to patch things up and try again.
 
migraine with a side of SI pain.

Grrrr

At least that explains why I was so horrid all day. I'm usually not a super bitch but I could tell that I was today.
 
Hmm that's two sensors in a row I've struggled with. Either I'm becoming a weak asset bitch or they are using a different o-ring.
 
This is the point where today starts to suck. Working last night and tonight ruled out cooking, and with just mom and I, a traditional dinner wasn't justified anyway. So now it's getting late and I'm getting hungry, and nothing is open. And by the time I get up again and fully wake up, nothing opening later will still be open.

So what should I count as my Thanksgiving "dinner", the ham & swiss panini I had after work this morning, or the pizza hot pocket I'll have at 4am tonight at work?

Sigh. If only I could have a decent not-McDonalds burger right about now. :(
 
Got a phone call today while I was having lunch that basically reaffirmed that yes, I am a beta, simp, pathetic loser.

So, I'm going to put my injured leg up, have a nap and play some Fallout, because fuck today.

Man, you're being harder on you than Charlie ever has been.



(Also, I think this would be a good appropriate time to make a play on "cop out" in an effort to cheer you up, but my jokes are quite bad horrible for that. And besides, I can't think of one)

Does the hotel have a restaurant you can rob?
 
I can craft an email tell off that is beautiful and wonderful and hateful yet polite, but this bland, factual, unexciting, technical report is killing me.
 
Simon and Martina of Eat Your Kimchi posted a video of their visit to Din Tai Fung in Taipei. Everything they ordered was amazing.

The only US locations are LA or Seattle. :cry:

I'm blaming/yelling at @bhamv3. You lucky bastige.

It's true, I can have Din Tai Fung pretty much any time I want.

In fact, I'm going to see if I can convince the missus that we should have Din Tai Fung this weekend.
 
The kitchen has always been closed by the time I get there. I'd be slightly surprised if the bar was still open tonight. :p
Even if it is, I suspect that going to the bar might not be the best course of action.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
