Day. From. Hell.

Today... sucked. There's no two ways about it. It just sucked.

From the moment I walked in the door I was in meetings or running crazy trying to pin things down for the budget office and didn't get a break until 3:30-ish, at which point I ate a Clif Bar, and then got back to the craziness. Now, understand, I always eat lunch. Without fail. I have never skipped lunch in the three plus years I've worked at the Big Government Agency. I missed lunch today. Which sucked. Sucked Elephant Butte (aka a lake full of radioactive waste, as opposed to Elephant Butt, which is merely annoying).

So tonight I chatted online, I drank wine, and I still ate pretty much next to nothing. I couldn't eat anything, I just wasn't hungry. Stress + break-up diet (aka more stress) = no eating. Ugh.

Tomorrow better not be as bad. If it is, well, I'll deal. And I know it's temporary since we're just now dealing with this year's budget, a third of the way through the fiscal year, but it's still annoying as all hell.

Elephant Butte and Suckage

[legalmoose]

A blogger I used to read a long time ago had a post on how we should attach a negative object to the end of the phrase, "this sucks," since, as a gay man, he kinda liked the implied object of that phrase, cock, and didn't consider it a bad thing. So he proposed that there be a gradation of suckage, three parts, which were, in order from bad to worst, 'gorilla butt,' 'elephant butt,' and 'Elephant Butte,' which he explained was a nice little radioactive lake in NM.
