Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

I'm at the start of a four-day long weekend, and although I have a fairly terrifying to-do list, I'm pretty confident I'll be able to finish Dragon Age: Inquisition in this time. ( Help me choose! )

Am into the Cave Johnson-y parts of Portal 2. Some thoughts:

1. JK Simmons is SO GREAT, you guys. Have I mentioned my secret crush on Tenzin lately?

2. I'd really like to see fic where Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce get the contract for Aperture Science Innovations. I mean, their workplace health and safety records are almost on par!

3. I'm wondering just how annoying it would be to have turret audio as my text notification sound.

4. Dr Google tells me that my back pain is caused by sacroiliac joint dysfunction, which I have to concede fits all the symptoms. I took it to the doctor, but he briefly poked at the wrong part of my back and told me it's a muscle spasm caused by being overweight. Arthritis? no, no, overweight. So that's annoying. Although he did give me a prescription for Panadeine Forte, which is handy.

I'm tossing up whether or not to go to work tomorrow -- my chair at work is much more ergonomic than anything at home, but I seem most comfortable when I can lie on my stomach for long stretches. I may push through to the weekend and then spend that in bed.

(A major factor is that I used up all my sick leave when I had the surgery in May, so if I take the time off, I don't get paid for it.)
