So, because my boss isn't in today, I agreed to come in a half-hour earlier (normally we stagger -- he's here early, I'm here late). It is now the time I would normally arrive at work, and so far all I've done is eat a bagel and drink half a latte. Which I could have done at home.

Also, I think I need to find someone I can give this clock to.

Gmail has enabled Popmail support.

After this discussion, I read that as Popemail. "You've got benediction!"

Timelies.

JZ, that's awful. Much ~ma for your friends that they find a peaceful solution that makes them both happy.

I loved the conversation on Catholicism and Cashmere's hair is awesome.

I may have more coherent thoughts after I finish my coffee.

I read that as Popemail. "You've got benediction!"

Tea. On. Monitor.

JZ, you sound like the best kind of friend to have in one's corner.

Waving at Deena...

Perhaps some sort of smoke is involved?

Huh. I smell tea. I'm suddenly struck with the need for a cup.

Waving back at AmyLiz.

TImelies.

Interesting conversation about Catholicism. I was raised Catholic, and left, but not really for ideological reasons. It just got to the point where going to mass didn't uplift me or make me think or make me feel anything, so that was that.

I'm sorry you're in such a difficult situation with your friends, JZ. I hope they end up in the right place and find happiness again.

So jealous of Cashmere's hair.

My body is mad at me for getting out of bed this morning and is clearly going to make me miserable until I go home and go to sleep. Unfortunately, that's still 6.5 hours away.

Timelies.

Loved the Catholic discussion, even though I am heatheny heathen with a side of heathen sauce. Complex social organisms are always fascinating to me, and I adore the people involved in the discussion, so it was a Good Thing all around.

I'm curious, though - we spend a lot of time discussing Christianity and the particular brands practiced by the folks in this thread, with Judaism cropping up on occasion. Would the heathens/pagans/Others care to explicate their stances and/or spirituality? I merely ask because I am one of those people who never tires of the "How Do YOU Do It?" game, and I love hearing more about people.

JZ, much comfort to you and your friends.

Connie, your husband is very lucky to have you.

JZ, so much ~ma going towards your friend. I'm dealing with a similar situation with my friend J, and it's just heartbreaking.

I just let the coordinator of the honors program know that I finished incomplete number three. She was thrilled. She also told me that my "project" for incomplete number four came up in their staff meeting yesterday. They all can't wait to see what comes of and are just fascinated by it. Now I'm scared and nervous...will it be good enough?

It always has been before, vw. and remember, you are talking about some very facinating people...

hugs to JZ and ma~ to her friends
