* Started watching BBC America's Three Musketeers. SO loving it.
* Hate when a book just...drags.
* Thought of doing a SotP but of the five I've seen this weekend, only one included TR, so I'm thinking that those aren't a thing anymore. One more by the wayside.
* That said, there isn't much beyond the status quo for any of them, so it would have been a pretty boring one
* Work continues to frustrate the bejeezus out of me, especially as regards any path for advancement or growth beyond putting out the same fires I've been putting out for the last two years.
* Relatedly, the new analyst continues to piss me off with her "Got it! I'm on it! I'll get it done!" attitude because she's in such a rush to do all that - she gets in abysmally wrong. She's published information before it should be live and left a crap-ton of typos on the website content we gave her and boss noticed it while in a meeting with others. Then, after boss discussed it with her, I found twenty more typos/broken links. To top it off, we have a major go live on this site Tuesday...and she took Friday off, leaving me to do the bulk of the page transfers from the QA site to the production site, leaving me with a 9 hour day on Friday. Me=unthrilled.
* Did I also mention she has some fairly serious BO? Like I can smell it from my cube. Blarg.
* Zach's recovering from the wisdom tooth extraction and slowly adding more food into his repertoire. For a while, it was all yogurt, jello and ice cream. I think he was happiest to get straw-ability back.
* Sad that the Netherlands' win is going to be discounted because the naysayers are all screaming "dive." But one of the ESPN commentators said it best - if you're going to keep tripping in the box, eventually, it's going to get called. It should have been in the first half, so don't whine that the ref finally called it in the second.
* Still, this has been the best World Cup in a while. Tons of drama (Costa Rica/Greece game was so intense, I burned dinner beyond recognition because I didn't want to walk as far as the kitchen.)
Wow. That was a lot. And now, I don't think I can put it off any longer. Bedtime awaits.
