I would love to watch the inauguration and the address and everything, but I am far too buried at work (and not to mention some associated bullshit with a boundary I decided to draw and someone decided to challenge). I am avoiding the entire internet because I won’t know shit about the inauguration until after 7 p.m. and I do not want it spoiled.

Instead I am MOTHERFUCKING PISSED that this whole celebration is going on around me, while I have to put my head down and get these pages done. If this is a “where were you when…” moment, then I was at work, not paying attention, and absolutely incensed about it.

Working onscreen has its own galaxy of bullshit, including the fact that 500 pages looks almost exactly like “not doing much”. Printed out, 500 pages makes a stack of paper about 10 inches high and clearly communicates how busy I am. One-page workflow sheets don’t have the same gravitas.

Which adds to the rage, let me assure you.
