I am going to be unable to have any sort of intelligent conversation today or probably the rest of the week. Not that I contribute much intelligence here anyway, but...there you go.
Also, this song is dedicated pixy0stix. I just heard it on the radio. Enjoy your earworm.

It's too hot here. We've actually had a pretty cool summer so far with more moisture than usual and I was starting to think I could stop complaining about living in too hot a climate. Two days at 95 and I'm more than ready to move back to Alaska.
I can't decide if I'm annoyed or amused by random LinkedIn endorsements. I got one this morning from someone I haven't worked with in 6 years. And it was just for CSS. Not HTML or Javascript or anything else that would be attached to the use of style sheets. Uhhm... Thanks?

Today my parents are getting rid of the piano that has been in the house since before I was born. I'm sad to see it go. I'm happy that at least it's going to my younger stepsister, although I think my nephew might climb on it and jump off of it before the day is over.

I'm trying to decide on a scale of 1 - Hitler how bad it would be to ask DH to reschedule his happy hour plans. Or move them to a location not almost 30 min from our house. I know he'll say no because the person he's going out with is really hard to schedule with. But I feel like absolute crap and want to go to bed when I get home from work. Which I can't do if he's gone till 8.

My favorites are the ones I get for computer validation from people I worked with when I was in manufacturing. I'm like, dude, how would you know?
My boss and his silver medal were back from vacation for 1.5 days and now he's off to Europe for vacation. Before he left he sent out an email telling our project manager NOPE about something and then vanished. Now I get to attend a meeting where I will be bullied into retracting the statement while reiterating the NOPE.
Last night we let the cats into the bedroom with us. We haven't done this for years because of unfortunate "incidences". I slept like crap. So much meowing, and purring, and kneading, and more purring, and a brief spat on who was going to sleep on my head, and knocking things over, and more kneading.
I love my cats, but they're getting crated in their crate again at night.

I think I'm hitting my midlife crisis. I was in a beauty supply store the other day and found myself fondling the electric blue Manic Panic. I'm seriously considering stripping a chunk of my hair and going to town.

My dentist's office called because I completely forgot about my appointment this morning. I just made it last week, and had it in my calendar. I just totally blanked on it. This is the second time this has happened this month - I missed a doctor appointment a few weeks ago.
This is why unemployment is bad for me. I have no idea what day it is.

I need picky eater help/advice.
H's family is having a reunion, so we have a bunch of houseguests next week, including my 11 year old niece. To call her an extremely picky eater would be a massive understatement (unless things have changed since the last time we saw her, she basically eats chicken nuggets and that's it). Will I be the Evil Aunt forever if I just stash some frozen chicken nuggets in the freezer and carry on cooking as usual? As it is, I'm going to be cooking for a bunch of extra people all week.
If you have go-to recipes that are crowd pleasers and feed a lot of people, I'll take those too.
I just got the rudest fucking email from an engineer I work with and I'm so done with this shit. He's lucky he's in MN or I would probably go ape shit on him right now.

Can you share the gist? We'll be outraged for you.

I go long distance ape shit all the time. It's fun. I'm not afraid of getting on the phone and chewing people out.

My random is that I just finally finished reading the Jeopardy/Roots thread and thought, "Damn, don't these women go to the public library?! I mean, most of those books/movies are showcased at least 1-2 months out of the year and available for free checkout. They even have Friday there - I checked that DVD out once and I'm in the middle of all-white America."

DH is ready to kill me because I can't help but sigh LOUDLY while I grade these final papers. I am totally exasperated. How does someone barely--and I mean barely--literate get to be a college junior??

I love my cats, but they're getting crated in their crate again at night.
DH keeps begging to leave the kitten out at night because "he's already asleep on the bed, how cuuuuute, no don't wake him up!". Cute and asleep now, but what about 2 hours from now when he decides to play again with his little fangs and claws?
My adult cats are all pretty much angels at night though. Two of them visit in the middle of the night (to make sure we weren't abducted by aliens or something) but they just politely walk down the middle of the bed, get petted sleepily for a few minutes, and leave again.
