Although everyone has been nothing but wonderful to work with, I will be so happy when this move is over with next week and I'm in my new place. My ADHD side is loving the chaos, but my autistic side is in total meltdown mode.

Currently half-dead on my feet because the three pounds of electric bacon in my skull decided it just HAD to make a packing list for my upcoming move at one in the morning. Can I trade my brain in for one that actually works?

Just wrote the very dramatic scene where Mark, Rob and the others burst into the bunker to rescue Maddy - which they do - only to have the character who led them in walk in ten minutes later, because in addition to being the queen of the complex-compound run-on sentence, I also can't proofread...

Adulting sucks.

Coworker bragging that "we never got no silly little rainbows or raincoats or umbrellas. Our parents made us get wet!" Well, my mom always made sure I had all those, and a warm coat and gloves. I guess my mom actually loves me.

Quick request from a civil servant just doing her best - if someone leaves you a voicemail, for the love of Cthulhu please listen to it before you call back. At least get their name...

Turns out yesterday's not so good vibrations were courtesy of a circling helicopter. Which l suppose is a hovercraft of sorts, but also super weird and creepy given that someone thought they saw an "ice truck" a couple of days ago....

Me: What's vibrating? That's so annoying.
Coworker, smirking: Maybe it's a hovercraft?
Me: Shut up.
They're still unconvinced....

Just when I think that, like Stacy's mom, I got it going ON, I trip over air and bash my knee. Although I was able to bounce up and pretend nothing happened, this is totally going to leave a mark.
(Sadly, not the Mark of my current dreams. "Tear my buttons, skin my knee...")

Why do I feel like Mark Bandola wrote "Civil Servant" about me and my coworkers?
"Once again, I'm over my head and losing my nerve and my reason" is the bit about me, BTW.

Our time and date stamper wants it to be Wednesday very, very badly. Yesterday and today, I've had to reset it back from October 8th. Meanwhile, I want it to be Friday with equal fervor....

Someone on the old Book d'Face just posted her seven step nightly skincare routine. Meanwhile, mine is whatever shower gel I'm using on the rest of me and doing good if I actually get all my eyeliner off...

Me, looking at a map, "Oh. There's Calgary!"
Coworker: "It's not like it moves, you know."
I have apparently still not lived down telling someone with completely confident wrongness that Port Jervis was on Long Island, then asking since when was it near New Jersey....

Mm-hmm. And I'm Mark Bandola's wife. *deep sarcasm*
Although given that my first name is Georgia, Georgia Bandola would be a banger of a married name. Total Jack Kerouac vibes there...
Yes, I probably need professional psychiatric help.....
