Who is the target of your Voodoo doll today?

Voodoo doll?  As in singular?  I’m pretty sure I need multiple dolls.  Or a dartboard with multiple faces on it.  Both sound appealing.

Let’s see. 

The tech who, while on vacation, put in his two week notice today.  Which will leave our already overtaxed department even shorter staffed.  And it’s going to take months to fill his position.  Yet, no disruption or delay in service will be acceptable.  And the affected departments’ will be pissed off that their costs will increase. 

Cupcake asked me to help with a report that wasn’t pulling the data we wanted and as we dug through the details, found it was pulling information from a completely different place and sorting it strangely.  So there’s a whole SQL rat’s nest we need to untangle.  (Just to be clear, Cupcake’s face wouldn’t be on the dartboard.  Rather something representing the software.)

Boss Lady was talking to me about a report I am pulling for a specific meeting and how she wants to use that for another project (somewhat related, but not a complete overlap).  And was asking me to add things that I’m not sure how best to do.  Plus, while I was going over it with her, I remembered that I need to run separate reports to add to the original.

The department that keeps calling me, asking me what the latest is on a work order, when they keep not communicating with us that there is even a problem!  It was all sorts of drama on Friday and I thought had been handled, but no, here they are again today demanding answers from me, when in reality they are the ones who have them!

And probably more.

I’m just really, really over my job right now.  I would like to be a rich stay at home mom now.  Someone please make that happen.

Add 23 to the previous ask.

23. What language, besides your native language, would you like to be fluent in?

I am partway there on Spanish, so I’d love to get all the way there.  After that, Croatian.  I have all these surprising connections to Croatia, so it would be fun to speak it.

3, 32, 44?

3. What male celebrity do you wish was your brother?

Ooooooh, good question.  Um…..Chris Pratt.  He seems like he’d be an awesome brother, especially as an adult.

32. What would your parents have named you if you were the opposite gender?

You know, I honestly have no clue.  My mom was convinced I was a girl the entire pregnancy (didn’t find out back in those days), and was insistent on what my name was going to be.  I do know that my dad had suggested the name Kira as well, which I think is really lovely. I think I would have been happy with that as well, but I do love my name.

44. What’s the last compliment you got?

Someone at work complimented my earrings, which was extra fun because I got to brag that my awesome friend @vesperass-anuna sent them to me from Croatia.

How does the Pratt-Faris announcement affect the Chris rankings?

This is an excellent question.  Ultimately, I don’t know that it affects the rankings within the Chrises.  Evans is still at the top of my list, with Hemsworth on his heels.  Pine and Pratt are by no means disliked, I love them quite a bit, but I just like the others a little more.  So within those four, the rankings stay the same. 

Now, if we’re talking about the ranking of the Chrises on the general list of Dudes Daisy Has a Fondness For, then it does affect things.  How much, I’m not sure yet.  One thing that I absolutely adored about Pratt was how cute he and Anna and Jack were together, especially him and Anna.  He always seemed so in awe of her and totally in love, and I freaking LIVE FOR THAT STUFF.  I’m a shameless romantic, especially for marriages. I’m still sorting out if/how this split affects the rankings.  As I think about it, I don’t think it really does too much.  What happened between them is their business, not mine, and ending a relationship does not mean that there is a character defect or flaw.  Sometimes it just happens.  If I found out there was infidelity or other shady business, that definitely would drop a ranking for anyone, but I haven’t heard any evidence of that.  (Not that I’ve sought it out or wish to.)  So it just makes me sad, for them and their son.  Divorce is hard for everyone involved and I don’t like people to be hurting.  I hope they all find happiness as they move forward.  But my opinion on Pratt as a person hasn’t changed because of this.

You are convicted of murdering your friends with all the feels with your Tumblring. What is your last meal?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I love this premise.  But really, they asked for it. ;-)

I would choose: A big, juicy steak, baked potato, rolls, and a completely decadent dessert, full of chocolate and cream and sugar.

Would you rather be the mayor of Star City on Arrow or the president on 24?

OH MAN THIS IS TOUGH.

I have no desire to be the President, EVER.  But……  I’d take being President in 24-Land than Mayor in Star City. 

Being President in 24-Land- Bad stuff happens, but only every couple of years, only in individual cities across the entire vast nation, and it gets all wrapped up in a single day.  Plus, you have Jack Bauer to solve the problems for you, really.  If you just hunker down and let him do what he needs to, you’ll survive and it will be okay.  In fact, if you don’t get in his way, it’ll probably be over in less than 24 hours.

But being Mayor in Star City?  First of all, THEY ALL DIE.  So bad track record right there.  Second, there are massive attacks on your entire city pretty much annually, if not more frequently.  Yeah, you have the vigilantes, but let’s be real.  It’s their fault half the time and even they can get overwhelmed.  A too big percentage of your constituents always die, not to mention the property damage that would be really hard for a city to recover from alone.  Bad news.  No thanks.  Not gonna do that.  Plus, with the revolving door of the mayoral office, I doubt much work has been getting done, which means you’re left with an awful mess to clean up just trying to do your job.  Nope nope nope.

What's a show your friends adore you think it's overrated? #stirringupdrama

The Flash.  I just couldn’t quite get into it all the way.  Now, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND ADORE JOE WEST.  He is one of the very best characters I’ve seen on TV.  And I love Jesse L. Martin.  But…..the rest of the show just didn’t grab me.  I watched the entire first season and haven’t felt the need to go back since.  I watch the crossover episodes with Arrow (and will with Supergirl as well), but I don’t actually watch the show.  Though @mframe and the rest of tumblr keep me apprised of what is going on.

Who are your tallest and shortest mutuals? (if the tallest is me, I don't count)

As for the people whose heights I know…..

Tallest is probably either @suburbity1 or @vierings.  I think they’re about the same height.  (Though, I’m pretty sure you are the actual tallest.)

Shortest……I’m not sure.  I think maybe @skyeward-otp or @fitzylovesjemma.
