Oogh. I'll translate that for the curious when I get home.

Oh government, why are you so full of fuckmuppetry. Between one friend of a friend's health issues and another friend's food issues, the government is having a serious week to month of fail. The health care reform isn't coming soon enough. The government is seriously falling down on its alleged responsibility to help people. Seriously, either stop pretending to assume the responsibility or start actually assuming the responsibility. Oi.

On the plus side, or I guess it's a plus side, getting massive amounts of crap done at work today? Writing crap, that is, not actual work crap. Scenes, wicks, kink bingo. Today and yesterday, dear god, the amount of crap I got done yesterday. I should actually have caught up on my whole word count deficit from May with very little effort. And I should actually be in a position to not drive myself nuts this weekend and still finish everything on time. This makes me happy. Cleaning the apartment shouldn't take too long tonight with the boy helping. It'll be a challenge to get all that done and whatever writing is leftover, but I think I'm up to it

On the minus side, I really could have done without maintenance scaring the shit out of me this morning. They came in to stare at our ceiling and talk about installing the fan that apparently was supposed to be done in February. I'm kind of glad they didn't tell us it was supposed to have been done in February, because serious shit would have hit said fan, and then they would have had to reinstall. As it is, I wish they'd given us some damn notice. The apartment is a mess again and I have shame like a cat that shamefacedly scuffles litter over its poo.

Oh well. If we're very lucky or they're very good, we'll have a fan by Friday evening, just in time for game. Mmm ceiling fan. Tastes of air circulation and possibly lower electric bills.
