So, yeah, I spent most of Wednesday with a significant part of my brain thinking it was Thursday. When I came to that realization, believe me, it sucked.

Wednesday night was a weird one…I dreamt that both my lovely wife and I were appointed as Supreme Court Justices, though the entire thing took place in and around a giant high-class restaurant in Washington, D.C., where we spent time hanging with my old high school acquaintances, and everyone was in some sort of band (not just me) and broke into song now and then. Every time we went outside to walk around the block (no reason; just go with it), a black SUV would invariably pull up and Barack Obama would open the back door, say hello and shake hands with someone.

Oh, and we were both wearing judge’s robes the entire time (Mine was very specifically a cheap graduation gown I bought in non-dream life at a thrift shop for a buck a few years ago and used to build a cheezy Sandra Day O’Connor costume involving a white wig and a cast-off piece of lace). At some point I lost my robe, which made me very very concerned.

Don’t mind me; my brain is weird.

My actual Thursday wasn’t actually somewhat better; although I had to deal with the being very tired from not sleeping well due to the very real anxiety about the robe. Hours of phone calls. Trying to figure out what my boss is thinking when he doesn’t answer questions. Begging for test data from someone, anyone, so I can get this project put to bed by the time the resources outside entities were kind enough to offer run out. Regarding that last one, I managed to get some senior executive types to back me, offering to get personally involved to ensure that I get the right answer from the proper stakeholders. Having those big shot types offer to bring the hammer down on your behalf feels pretty damned good. If you can manage that, I highly recommend it. It’s glorious.

Yeah, my life could be better right now, .but it has potential Hoping the weekend will be better; I also haven’t managed to get any recording done this week so far because reasons. I really need to fix that.
