I knew there was a reason

When not taking notes this morning, I was inflicting my incredibly, inexplicably whiny and cranky self on [livejournal.com profile] dogeared, [livejournal.com profile] siriaeve, and [livejournal.com profile] amberlynne. There was no immediate (good) reason for whininess and crankiness, except that I just felt like being petulant and immature and annoying, and I probably deserved to be dragged out into the rain and made to stand there until I shaped up.

But. Clearly I was sensing something in the ether.

My school has presumably been processing summer stipend payments ever since summer stipends were instituted, which has presumably been longer than the three years I've been here. So why, WHY I ASK YOU, can't they get it right? Moreover, why can't payroll understand that "Oh, sorry we messed up your stipend paperwork and you weren't paid on the 31st, but if you can wait two weeks we'll pay you double on the 15th" is not an acceptable solution when you ask them to rectify the problem? WHY WHY WHY??? *breaks down in sobs, throws things* ARGH.

This happened last year, and I had to sacrifice a goat to get the morons in payroll to write me a check so I wouldn't bounce my rent. Fortunately for payroll this year, I had enough money in my account to buy the chocolate and eggs I need to make the brownies that I strongly suspect will be the only redeeming part of a stupid day.

However, this shot makes me happy. Maybe spoilery for SGA 5.01. asd;lkjdf;lkjdf Rodney pwns my ovaries.





Um, yes. [livejournal.com profile] aesc WANTS. Wants very very much.

I hereby challenge you to come up with something else redeeming. *retires, grumbling crankily, with chocolate*

I saw this picture a few days ago and lost all coherent thought. I mean, come one! Guh, he's so pretty. And clearly, he needs someone to fuss over him (when he's no longer armed, that is).

These people in payroll sound particularly dense. You should have Teyla beat them with her sticks, Rodney yell at them when they're down (there could be tears; it would be great), and let Ronon at them with his gun (set to stun). John can stand off to the side, smirking and thinking how awesome his team is.

And then, brownies for one and all!

Yes, it's quite possible I sat there and stared like a poleaxed idiot for a while.

That is worth an infinite number of brownies! \o/
