about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

could I just go back to bed? permalink

Yesterday, my work day imploded. It was just one of those days, a combination of hurry up and wait, my own procrastination catching up with me, and the mistakes of others. I stayed late, and got to my hair appointment late.

Things turned around at the hairdresser's. As usual, she worked wonders with my hair, and did my eyebrows for free. I then went and met up with Sweetie and friends at a new brewpub, and had a couple of beers. We got home late.

This morning, surprise, I didn't want to get up, and I really didn't want to go to work. But I did go to work. I bicycled in, relishing my saddle sore. I have a saddle sore, aren't I lucky? I have to say that while bicycling was nice, it didn't elevate my mood.

And then I got up to my office, and it was ramsacked. I go through phases of being very orderly and phases of having piles of paper everywhere, and I was in the latter phase. Whoever did this was not trying to be subtle. My paperclip tin was emptied on my desk. A birthday card from mom, wide open, my gym clothes all tore apart (ooogh). And the work powerbook is gone.

I found some of a cow-orker's clothing in a recycling bin. That's been it for good.

That majorly sucks! What the heck is going on when your desk at work isn't safe? Somebody who works there late?
