I dreamed that everyone on this thread ( and this is going back to the Salon days) named Susan was pregnant. and all at the same hospital. Durring a beerfest. that wasat some location that was BARTable from my house. But I can't think of any German castles on a hil that are near my house.

my dream was way too complex.

Now, time for a shower and then wait for a plumber.

Count me among those in a rotten mood today. feh.

{{bitches}}

I guess it's time to go and clear everything around the water heater tank. Blah. Boo. Hiss.

Glad you're better, Gud, that doesn't sound like fun.

Sorry abotu teh water heater, GC, and the fehness of the day to all who are feeling feh.

hmm, maybe what we need is

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Ouch, Gud. I hope you're just about over it.

Sorry about the water heater, GC. I have (knock wood) never had one leak, but I did have to have an emergency water heater replacement when mine blew the steam valve and filled my house with steam. That was unnerving, but not messy.

I got a decent amount of sleep last night, but even after three cups of coffee, all your gronk are belong to me. I keep nodding off at the keyboard.

Also with the feh feelings about today. So far.

Is it time to go home yet?

vw, did your mom say how her interview went?

I made a discovery this morning. In the past I have always set my alarm clock to and earlier time in the morning so I could hit snooze a few times before getting up (but this usually makes me hit it so many times that it actually stops going off - then I get up late and have to rush). This morning, however, I set the alarm later, only hit the snooze twice (instead of the normal 6 or 7), I woke up more refreshed than usual.

Yeah for that and coffee.

vw, did your mom say how her interview went?

Yeah. It went really well. She was really pleased. It's going to be a slow process, because it's a job for the state. So, we'll see what happens. She'll certainly keep looking in the meantime.

Hec, or anyone with any California employment law knowledge, I'm asking the following for a friend: What is the legal definition of a hostile work environment (in CA)? Thanks.

I'm back among the living after having the flu with a pneumonia chaser. Sorry about the bad start gc.

I was wondering about you last night, Gud. How are you doing? Did your wife and children catch it, too?

What is with the Bitch pregnancy dreams? I would be afraid, but I am too preoccupied laughing at myself. It's the relieved laughter of a woman who was feeling sorry for herself over her tragic timing, in falling to the communists just as she was recovering from the stomach virus from hell.

I'm currently trying to mantra my way to a better day.

GC, I'm sorry your day started out with suckage.

Mine's sloooooowly getting better. But that's just by sheer will and by ignoring shit that is bothering me at the moment.

Cashmere, GC, somedays the only mantra that works for me is, "It's only a movie."
