It’s grey, rainy, chilly, and utterly shitty outside today.

I woke up this morning, peeled open an eyelid, and looked at the bedroom clock. It said it was 2:30. I got up, padded downstairs, and started making myself a latte before I noticed the stove clock said it was nine-thirty already.

Shit. Late to work. But it was so dark out I’d thought I’d been on time. Damn, damn, damn. So I went into the furnace room, opened the woodstove up (we’re heating with wood, yo), dug through my bag for my phone and called Buzzdoctor. Got his voicemail:

Me: Hey, it’s me. I slept through my alarm or something. I dunno. I’m gonna hop in the shower and I’ll be there… in a bit. Or so.

Then I finished making my latte, took a shower (without brushing my hair first so I’ve got something of a left coast dreaded hippy thing going on today but it’s all up in a scrunchie), dressed myself, stoked the stove, watered the pets, made sure that everything that was supposed to be off was and that everything that was supposed to be on was on, grabbed my bag and waddled fuzzily out the door to the jeep, which was chilly and damp.

I’m still not awake. This kind of weather makes me feel like my IQ is about 60.

When Keef moved goblinbox.com to this, its current server, he gave me the username ‘mush’ which makes sense ’cause that’s my name (don’t wear it out). However, I’ve been using that username in context with this particular domain for so long that it is on EVERY SPAM LIST IN KNOWN SPACE, which means that the non-deletable email box is FULL OF FUCKING SPAM.

Which is why, if you’ve tried to email me in the past week, your mail has been returned with an ‘edquota/target folder is full’ error.

I’m in the webmail interface right now, deleting spam. This project should take, oh, about TEN HOURS because I don’t have root on the box this site is on. Yes, I’ve enabled SpamAssasin to delete spam rather than putting it in my inbox. Ugh. Oh, wait, I guess I could just download it all using a mail client – that would get it off the server. Duh.
