solstice...

summer soltice only means one thing...days get shorter from here on out. now that's something to look forward to, isn't it?

i'm really sick of this rut i'm in. my job is really pissing me off...mundane, boring, annoying....all of the above. the people here are complete morons, i'm not sure how it happened but the department i'm in has a culture that i don't understand. at first thought, you'd think that a group of science types in madison would be smart...not so fast my friend. nobody here has much in the department of tact, of socialization, anything besides a little book smarts. it's literally NO fun to work here, and i don't really know what to do about it. there are a lot (and i mean a lot) of people who commute here from small crappy towns (they live there to avoid the property tax rate of dane county...driving upwards of an hour each way...effectively spending any tax gains they make on car maintenance and gas). all that so they can work at a pretty unremarkable company.

in other news...little things just keep accumulating like i've never experienced before. case and point...our little median tree got snapped in half this morning. the only tree on the whole street to get smoked...and at some point today i've got to go have the auto body people fix the giant rattle they left in our new roof assembly...after having our car for 3 fucking weeks. and i'm busy at work and also need to let our beast out sometime. sorry if i'm whining but it's my blog and i'll do with it as i see fit. read at your own risk.
