I now truly hate clock's $stbx.  I hate the games she's playing, and the lies she's living (all at his expense).  Most of all, I hate that actions like hers translate to "typical woman," and those of us who are close to decent human beings have to work that much harder to prove it.  She and her lawyer are standing on their soap boxes declaring how they're model women and such wonderful feminists.....my ass.  I can't even begin to describe the blind rage it puts me in.

My policy of "just do my job" seems to be paying off.  I was complimented yesterday for being so helpful and not fighting the system, like so many others.  I'm still working to change the system, and have already made some progress.  BTW, my meeting with HR a few weeks ago really paid off.  The woman said what I told her really filled in the gaps and made her understand why we responded how we did on our surveys.  When she met with the whole group a few days later, she was prepared enough to cut to the chase rather quickly.  Here's hoping!

I'm still chewing on the BSG finale.  I suppose I won't have any good context for it until next season starts.  Either it will be brilliant or stupid as hell.

Clock and I are quickly settling into routines.  He started work this week, and thinks it won't be a bad gig.  We're still constantly surprised the other person is actually helpful and doesn't spend his/her time screaming and shouting at the other.  This will fade in time.  Life is happy, and we both sleep soundly at night.

In important news, clock was convinced that Ikea has the best-priced bookcases.  HA HA HA!  If I weren't so lazy, I'd post all those k5 argument threads we had just to be an ass.

Sunday we picked up more flamingo crap.  Oh yes, the back yard ROCKS!  If my asshole neighbors hadn't broken (read: totally shattered, and won't admit to it) my table, we'd probably be eating out there every night. 

That's all I have time for now.
