So, work performance anxieties suck. I’m uncertain of my ability to hack it, though certain circumstances should make it easier to perform. 8 hours/day. No websurfing, no gaming, no im, and NO partisanship. (I seriously doubt they’d be cool with any the first 3, and even if they were, uh, probably not a good idea for me. =)

The last time I had a full time job was in 2002. The last time I was in a job with no net access was working with Ro. I’ve never had a job that was both full time and no net. I seriously slacked via webbrowsing at motorola. Starting in my teen years with DnD & no friends to play it with, I developed a habit of reading about games more than playing them. My motorola web-browsing certainly matched that pattern.

Anyway. The anxiety is still there, but I’m not about to let any of this stop me.

Sadly, it seems my air mattress, my only bed since sometime in june or july, has sprung a slow leak. I’ll probably just replace it once my income tax refund check comes in. *taps foot impatiently*

Hilarious ad for a vacuum cleaner, taken from (proceed at own risk).

Leaving aside her bullshit claims applied to vast swaths of humanity (ie, liberals love terrorists), I wanted to check and see if she advocates violence against liberals. Surprisingly, my 5 minutes of web searching suggested that she pulls up very close to that line, but stops short. She advocates intimidation through execution of John Walker. She says that “a baseball bat is the best way to talk to liberals,” which probably doesn’t cross the legal barrier of proposing violence (too vague), but certainly implies it to my mind. Am I saying that she ought to be silenced by government intervention? No. I’m saying she ought to be ignored by society.

Our nearby, potsmoking, collectively owned coffeshop, the hard times, has very tasty baked desserty things. Sometimes they’re even vegan. Yesterday, they had vegan ginger molasses cookies. I got two. So tasty. They didn’t last long. Somehow, miraculously, there were still two left in the day-olds section today. I’m saving the last one for later. But really, I need to learn to make my own. I loved molasses cookies (archway generally) before I went vegan, but haven’t had much of them since. The undertone of ginger makes it even better.

In the spirit of a recent entry by , instead of bitching about how livejournal uses the word “friends” to describe the journals I subscribe too, I did something about it. I spent about 2 hours figuring out how to customize my view so that the only places that the word “friends” shows up are in the url, on the user info page, and on the menu bar on the default view pages, because I can’t change any of that. I also changed the layout to one that uses more of the page’s width, so that I’m less vulnerable to oversized images resizing my pages.

A useless waste of time and simply a procrastination technique? To that, I plead guilty. =)

In response to ‘s request of me in March, here’s a bit about my reading habits

You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?

• into the breach good friends

So, my department is having a little shindig this evening. I bought a ticket, I guess so I would have the option of going. And now that the time has arrived, I’m just as happy not to be going. I hope those who do go have fun, but I have things I’d rather be doing with my evening. I am not an extrovert, and have plenty of useful stuff to be doing anyway.

So, my understanding is that there is a loungerat presence on crimson crusade horde side. Is there a guild yet?
I also feel compelled to associate myself with the alliance guild, vice & valor on proudmoore for a few minneapolis peeps, and to surprise a third party.
I hear that there are some bay area ‘mo’s doing alliancy things on daggerspine.

Hook me up with your server/allegiance/guild if you think you’d enjoy playing with me when the time comes (t-minus a week and a half). I’ll probably only take 1 or 2 characters past 20. And no more than 4 past 10. I don’t enjoy multitasking that much. =)

Whee. =)
