That saying has two associations for me:
One: When I was a kid, I used to sit on the floor at the coffee table with snacks in the evening, it always used to drive my crazy if my dad would put his feet up on the table by where I was eating. If I pointed it out to him, he would tell me, "Ahh. You are experiencing the agony of defeat."
Two: I am known to tell people, when I am winning at a game of some kind, to "Never underestimate my ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory," as I have a history of losing all manner of games after obtaining a sizable lead.

It's Thursday and I still have my freedom! Time to finish what errands I did not do yesterday.
Two ant nests must go. New gas can and gasoline.
Packing bags for Amazon.com. I have more books and maybe some CDs to sell. Hush on the CDs for now.
I need that back support for the shelf. No, I will not move the comics to the other side of the shelf. They will stay where they are. More trash and old magazines to throw out.
I did I say I need monkeys. No, now I did.
Forgot the new long box yesterday. Another trip to the comic book store.
I think I will do a write up of Emma Frost, the White Queen as a split-class Cleric/Psionist-type. I need an evil b$#!@y goddess from a published Pathfinder sources as her patron. Any suggestions?

What book, preferably third edition or pathfinder.

Angry Orchard is becoming my new favorite. Their Apple Ginger whets the parched palette. I rarely drink at home and was saving them for a grill-out this Saturday, but I got tired of soda, water, and kool-aid so I busted out a pair of bottles last night and they had an emergency evac down my esophagus.
It's also cheaper than Strongbow by at least $2.50 a sixer here. Appeals to my frugal nature.

I'll have to give it a try. Thanks!

Even more in Guide to the River Kingdoms, I think.

I love my job. I love my job. I love my job.
If I say it enough times, I'll start believing it again, right?
Huh. I thought Urizen was the "metal" FaWTLy. :P
Sorry you're having a bad time at your job, Lindisty.

I only do that when I need to shake loose obsessive, unproductive thoughts. :) Sometimes it even works.
And thanks for the sympathy. I have hope that things will improve, and if not, my resume's up-to-date and I'm actively scouting for new jobs.

Home. Home at last. ~tired sigh~
I hope your day gets better, Lindisty.
Well, the day ended with a bit of amusement.
And yeah, I got about three buttons undone before I realized I was about to strip down to my bra in the parking lot at work. *sigh*

Oh, I normally do like my job. We're just stuck in reorganization limbo right now, and I'm caught between $CURRENTBOSS and $FUTUREBOSS in a weird passive aggressive power struggle, and it's getting to me. Things should improve after the reorg is final, but gods only know when that will be.

If you haven't sent it off yet, I took a couple of liberties and back-ended them. YMMV.
** spoiler omitted **...
Sent it yesterday and got a response last night. Apparently, we'd both been thinking the same things, but had been too scared to put them out in the open. We're still internet-friends, but the whole relationship thing is done. Honestly, I'm relieved as f&!@.

Sad, but good. Now, start being shiny again. Not sparkly, though. We'd have to kill you. Sorry. That's just the way it is.

I'm more of a Woodchuck fan myself, but I'm not sure if you guys can get it that far south and/or west.
