susandennisThe downside of getting up early to get more work done is that you have more time to fuck more stuff up. So I did. It's not totally my fault but still I hate it.
And it's going to get worse before it gets better. We have one major launch next week and two minor launches that probably will get out of control. Everybody's a little stressed. This is when it's good to be working here by myself. I can only guess at the level of franticness, I don't have to actually see it or hear it or smell it.

I am not a basketball fan. I lived in North Carolina and South Carolina. I have served my basketball time. Plus in the early 90's I worked, very briefly, for a PR firm that did work for the Seattle Sonics. So it is with a high degree of snootyness and disdain that I have watched the proceedings over the past couple of years. This guy from Oklahoma City bought the Sonics a couple of years ago. Now, even I know that Oklahoma City would give away a Sooner to get an NBA team. So when a guy from Oklahoma City buys the team, I know the team will be moved to Oklahoma City. But, apparently, I am the only one. The land of denial is fully populated at this point. I keep getting BREAKING NEWS emails about court cases and city proclamations and NBA requests. And I have only signed up for general breaking news. Not sports breaking news. It's all getting pretty hilarious.

I am out of corn candy. I have unlimited capacity for corn candy consumption. I can eat other candies in moderation but not corn candy. I know the stores all have it on sale now but I think I'll see if I can do without.

Travis says purrrrr and I have to get back to work - the massive upload that allowed me this break time is finished.
