I hate feeling this way. I just have this bad bad feeling... like there's something wrong with me. I can't shake it.
I'm going to get a second opinion on those boobie films.

If falling on my face in front of the building is the worst thing that happens to me today, it's going to be a good day. I just have to keep telling myself that.

GAWD I love "Bad Reporter". It's in the SF Chronicle several times a week. This is one of my favorites.

So, I'm okay for now. But I have to go back next year to check a spot. Yuck. I'm glad I can defer that terror for the next 11 months or so.

I'm going to be fine. At least, that had BETTER be what they tell me!
Creepy boobie dream: Last night, I dreamt that i had razorblades for fingernails. And I dug into my left breast and eventually pulled out a small ball bearing. It was really gross.

They scheduled another mammogram for tomorrow afternoon. It took me four weeks to get the original screening.
I'm trying not to be scared.

I'm scared. No shame in that. But I called the doctor's office, and they want me to wait until I hear back from them before going back for another screening.
I've got to stop crying nervously! I'm at work!

Crisis. I just noticed that there is no PIL on my iPod. How could I let that happen. Here I am, humming "World of Destruction" with no method to get it out of my head. Ouch!

TEH L33735T W1FE EVAR strikes again... Now Stevie has almost the entire collection of Hunnicutt books. Just missing Abrams and (I think) Patton.

Tomorrow, I have to get my boobs squished. Yuck. But it's important to get that screening mammogram.

I kinda fell off the wagon last week. I did sort of try to eat right, and I did my exercises, but I did not maintain my food log. This week, a fresh start on that. Got to get right back on that wagon after it threw me off! Or is that supposed to be a horse...

It feels like I've been here for-EVER already, but it's not even noon. I guess I'm just sleepy. And grouchy.

I can't believe I'm referencing a Slashdot comment, but here it is: Top 10 reasons for a sysad to commit seppuku:

1. You've just been ordered to migrate from sendmail to Exchange server.
2. Your boss, let's just call him Bill, insists upon being given root privileges, in spite of the fact that he constantly breaks things even with mere user privileges. [and yes, the original post DOES use the name "Bill".]
3. Your boss won't let you filter out .vbs & .exe attachments at the mail server because he is an amateur (read: terrible) coder. Moreover, his amateur programs cause as much if not more trouble than the virus-laden attachments he keeps opening. He also has crazy ideas about putting "stamps" on email.
4. You are told by your boss, who (mis)read a computer security advisory to put the company webserver (which handles online sales) on a non-standard port "so the hackers won't be able to mess with it."
5. Your boss expects you to find a way to make your Solaris servers, with tons of ancient, crusty legacy code which is vital to the company, run ASP pages just so they can use (read: justify the ridiculous expense of) some crappy B2B application they bought without consulting IT. Preferably sometime next week.
6. Your boss thinks that some 'internet accelerator' software (read: spyware) should be made mandatory for all employees to improve productivity.
7. Your "security policy" is more like a list of who to blame for what.
8. Your boss is negotiating a SCO IP license, since "any publicity is good publicity."
9. Your boss thinks you should be more thankful, because the management is so "IT-savvy" and always ready to help you out.
10. You ignore all this bad advice, pretend you took it anyway (he'll never actually know...), and waste your time posting on Slashdot instead of working.

Heh.

Funny co-worker bit #2. Another co-worker, whose wife had their first child over the weekend, posted a pic named "omfg.jpg". I love that name.
Very cute baby, too. Not much of the "plucked chicken" look.

A coworker heard this at a rally in SF this weekend:

Four more years of Bush is scary!
C'mon people, vote for Kerry!'

Heh-heh.

Ah, a beautiful Saturday morning... and I'm off to work. Still, no big deal. It's just easier to get certain things done on the quiet weekend days.
Also, I pigged out on KFC last night -- the SHAME of it all... but WTF. It was a craving. So there.

I've been keeping an online food log for awhile now. A long while, in fact. Over at FitDay. But I only recently supplemented this with a notebook. Every thing I eat I note the time, how hungry I felt (1-5), and what it was. And I think that all this time I have been inadvertently lying to myself in the FitDay logs. Now that I write down every little thing, my calorie counts in the log have gone up a lot, so I have to guess that I was, well... leaving things out before. I guess that's part of why I could only eat 1700 calories for weeks on end and have no change in my weight -- I was actually eating more than that! Carrying around this little notebook, in the end, is a good thing.

Let's clear a few things up. First, as much as he wishes that he was on our team, I'm pretty sure that Stevie does not qualify as a Lesbian-Identified Male (LIM). Some people think that LIMs are essentially "fag-hags" for lesbians, but in fact there is so much more... Enough more that Stevie just doesn't qualify, especially when you get to the "emotions" and "interpersonal relationships" portion of the descriptions. Try this for a brief overview on the concept, which even I had never heard of until I started watching The L Word. Maybe it's a relatively new trendy gender-association category. Or, maybe I only knew full-on gay boys growing up. <grin>
Next, since I'm on the whole gender thing, is there a Lesbian-Identified Heterosexual Female? Maybe I'm just a lesbian trapped in a straight girl's body?
Also, more on gender. I like being a girl. Even today, in cramp-o-licious hell, being a girl is better. So there. And last, the shocking conclusion! I'm tired of having my hair all funkified. I'm going to do blue, because dammit I want blue hair, but after that... probably platinum. Then after that I'll just grow it out to my lovely under-appreciated dark brown. That's my big hair plan of the moment.

Tee-hee. Okay, you got a giggle out of me for "The Kodak Theatre or Galactic Senate" bit.
