The interminable life

[holdouttrout]

You know when you're having a moderately bad day, but it seems much, much worse, and you know it's your hormones (sorry, P), and you keep telling yourself that everything's okay, that your boss isn't going to fire you, that he's given no indication that he even thinks less of you because of things that you know aren't your fault, and that he's a really nice, decent guy, and that just because another company is stupid doesn't mean that you are, too?

Here are some things that made me smile today, even if they didn't drown out the Nameless Dread That Lodges in the Soul Once in a While without Reason:

1) It's Talk Like a Pirate Day, and I didn't miss it.
2) pepper_field wrote fic for Talk Like a Pirate Day.
3) annerbhp posted more String Theory, which is my fannish crack.
4) nandamai introduced me to lolthulhu.
5) KR offered to write me fic. Which I probably won't see today. But still!!!

All worthy of much thanks.
