The ringer in the poll

Thursday was just not a good day.

I needed to be up and out the door terrifyingly early. Depending on what part of the day you encountered me in, there were different things going poorly.

First I went to bed too late. Then there was an LJ problem that kept me awake another hour and a half solely because I was just that mad. I did get up on time and make it mostly coherently through the client-facing meeting. Then - after the meeting, not before (when we could have fixed things) - we learned that the shitbarn of an app had screwed us *again*.

I was actively hoping for pyrokinesis at that point.

I confirmed with my Overlady that she would not need my notes that evening, and went home. As annoying as that asshole in the other department can be, I did not actually encounter him that day.

Dreams:

Those were some interesting dreams.

First, there was some sort of ... field day at the museum? Or something? It seemed to be up on West Ridge. There was a very large tank of water with something taily and jawsome (like an alligator, except more prehistoric and thinner in the snout, and also taller in the back; I think its tail was permanently raised), and then something slithersome and coily, and not as smart. Both were covered in algae. Both were spiny. Both were smiling at me. I was theferrett, and I was going to go in the tank with them for some Very Good Cause/display of machismo challenge. The zookeeper drained the tank and was hosing the algae off both of them (the "alligator" had white scales; the "boa" had black ones) and talking to them. They both had the light of understanding in their eyes. She told them: "Ferrett is responsible for your safety while he is in there." They grinned wider, not taking their eyes off me. Then she continued: "Just as I am holding you responsible for his while he is in there."

They looked very disappointed in that, as clearly they had been hoping for a toy, and then a snack.

I never did get to find out what happened with that, because I was someone else, and a bunch of girl scouts (except I think they had blue uniforms) had released ferrets into the museum.


Later, there was some sort of writing contest that involved planting things. ( Read more... )
