:: mumble murfmbl morning ::

Got up at 3:XX of the AM YOU HORRIBLE PEOPLE I'M TRYING TO SLEEP to fix a problem with a database that ultimately didn't fix the problem, but fixed the error messages, so people quit bothering me. Have since fixed the problem, and will have to wait until tomorrow to see if it is still broken, or if I got it right. Lovely.

Stepped on some broken glass in the kitchen at 4:00, right foot is mad at me.

Overslept. Of course.

Slipped in the shower and banged my right elbow and shoulder very nicely. Probably caused by trying not to put so much weight on my right foot, and because it gets slick in there when you use actual soap (I'm a guy, but I'm willing to try new things).

So, today didn't start too well. And, since I was late to work, I decided to pull into Starbucks and make them give me a Chai. It's not great, but it isn't that bad either, so it was going to be my morning repair device.

I mentioned to them that I liked the iced chai, but wished they did the full blend. The lady looked at me and said...

..."you want a chai creme frappuchino?"

Um....yeah. That'd be spiffy.

and, it was. It's not on the menu, but you can ask and get one. Now I just need 4 hours more sleep. That wasn't on the menu, either, but I may go back and ask anyway.

I am terribly amused. Thanks to ga_sunshine for pointing me at OhMyGods, a rather cute comic for the pagan minded among you, and those of us that don't mind sharing the joy.

And, I found this one:

and am suitably amused...

The Long Dark Night....

I read the letter with the draft report several times. I was very upset, not because of the lack of affirmation and movement towards my career change, but for the tone of the report. Intentionally or not it was written using perjorative terms quite a bit. The points being made were interesting, but always the negative tone made them feel like rocks ripping my soul.
