I have a telecommuting job, and I get cabin-fever.

Oh yes, that WOULD happen...Khaliban wrote:I have a telecommuting job, and I get cabin-fever.
Now, what am I doing here...?
...I am checking in to write 2 specific posts I intended to, and hopefully I won't get lost / "sucked in" to other things.
Two posts.
Well, actually, I meant 3 posts.
And actually, this one would make it 4.
Too late.
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

I usually stand at my desk, and she sits on the shelf over it (see avatar) if she wants to keep me company, but I've been giving in to her urge to snuggle lately because it's been cold and they shaved her little tummy when she had surgery. Of course, most of her fur has grown back, so now she's just spoiled.
Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

I came to check if the place is still here after getting the reunion email. 
And stayed to cause trouble.

And stayed to cause trouble.

Waiting for the plumber to show up. I keep telling my landlord that the problem isn't in my unit but somewhere above me, but he had to keep poking at it, and now there is a legit hole in my ceiling. Which also changed the drip trajectory, so the bucket failed to catch everything last night and I woke up with cold, wet feet. And he turned all the hot water off, even though I told him it didn't seem to be related. It's not related, and now I've been without hot water for over 24 hours. Rant, rant, rant. Nobody ever listens to me. I would've just called the plumber myself on Wednesday, but I don't have access to where the actual problem is.

Well, first, to answer the question, I'm avoiding doing the one or two things I mostly think I'm supposed to be focusing on today...

Here's an emoticon for ya:
