А теперь вновь была летняя Москва - не то чтобы жаркая, но томительно-душная. И последний день отпуска, когда голова отдыхать уже не способна, но работать отказывается наотрез.
Может быть, поэтому звонок Гесера я встретил с радостью.

But now it was summer in Moscow again - not exactly hot, but stifling and oppressive - and it was that final day of vacation, when you can't get your head to relax anymore, but it flatly refuses to work.

Maybe that was why I felt glad when I got the call from Geser.

Can I have my nap yet? Failing that, can I go shoot the entire Texas GOP? They're damaging my calm.

No, I wouldn't want to, because blah blah precedent blah blah democracy blah blah politics. Blah blah blah bitchcakes. I know all the reasons why I don't actually want to, but goddamn do I want to. Given both my family history and my education, I know damn well why I don't want to go on a spree of eliminating people who are inconvenient to my politics and yet in times like these it is really easy to understand why people do. But then, this is why we have impulse control. And why we're better people.

(I should add, I don't even necessarily mean liberals or Democrats in that 'we.' I mean every person with political beliefs who believes in democracy strongly enough to have a reasoned debate rather than try and do an end run around electoral process and equal rights to make things turn out their way. It's just that the Republicans are doing a fuck of a lot more of that right now. Or maybe just more blatantly. I used to believe I could have a reasonable dialogue with Republicans. I even did, with several! We were friends, they had their ideas, I had mine, we debated them and then went out for donuts. What the fuck happened to this country.)

Okay, enough ranting about politics. The bank is still fucking crazy, or at least flat out illogical and obstructive, but the contractor agrees with me on this and is still willing to work with me and hopefully doesn't think it's my fault. And I still don't have numbers to crunch, but Renovations Lady swears she's making my paperwork top priority today. I don't really care what priority she makes it so long as I get it freaking soonest. And probably a lot of this wouldn't have been necessary if she'd answered my goddamn questions in the first place. ARGH.

This post is rapidly turning into Jag swears at all the people who she feels are less competent than her. So, let's instead get ready to go to the dentist! Because that's fun.

I want to go back to bed now.
