i think mother nature is getting me (ok, and other bostonians) back for appreciating the nice chill weather yesterday, because it was somewhere in the vicinity of 94º today. i left the house for approximately ten seconds and that was only to stick my head out the front door to get my mail. what the actual and entire fuck, mother nature. at least ( Read more... )

in all the joy over the anniversary of the moon landing and the exhaustion from the heat, i forgot to mention that killjoys is back! ( yay! )

oh my flist, it is so hot i cannot cope. i had a dentist appointment this morning and spent the rest of the day going from a/c to a/c, ending up at my sister's to watch raiders of the lost ark which is as good as it ever was. "i hate snakes, jock! i hate 'em!" "c'mon, show a little backbone, will ya?" heh. if you too live in an unusually ( Read more... )

o my flist, let me tell you that trying to book a round-trip flight from savannah to bangalore and back again, especially when you also have to change a one-way ticket from boston-bangalore, is a PAIN IN MY ASS. especially when the managing director for whom you're doing this keeps making things complicated for you. well, more complicated ( Read more... )

tonight is town fireworks night (it was supposed to be last week but it was canceled on account of rain) and right now the band is playing literally across the street from my house. the band is called booty vortex. they're cheesy as hell - a lot of 70s disco - but some of the audience is dancing, so. there might be a local military band later, ( Read more... )

it's so hot i took two - count 'em - cold showers today. i was all hot and bothered and it wasn't even the fun kind of hot and bothered. hmph, i say. hmph.

on the other hand, a nice cold shower is blissyesterday my sister and i went to ikea so i could theoretically buy a display cabinet thing (and i drove because, well, it wasn't five hours). ( Read more... )

we seem to have skipped most of spring and gone spang into summer. ugh, it's hot. i should maybe take the flannel off my bed now. *swelters*

i made some progress on editing my bigbang this morning and celebrated by going to the comic store (only one new one this week), where i learned that someone took the new captain america off their pull ( Read more... )

a couple days ago i got an email from the gas company saying "congrats! you're 54% more efficient in your gas usage than your neighbors!" and it's because i turned the heat off. it's the middle of december. that ain't right. seriously. i'm a little weirded out ( Read more... )

i have successfully survived a week without coworker d at work! go me. nothing went missing, i didn't print anything on the wrong letterhead, i knew what i was doing (mostly), i didn't get totally swamped. altho! the color copy machine near my desk went down TWICE, necessitating a lot of bitching, moaning, whining, complaining, and running up ( Read more... )

so today at work i discovered i'd fucked up twice, on two separate things. i took the files for company a and when i saved them on the server i used them to overwrite the files for company b, which means the files for company b no longer exist, and trying to reconstruct them took longer and was more of a pain than it should have been. but that ( Read more... )
