So, late Saturday night in Cleveland I was bitching about being stricken with allergies for the first time, and how I might have said unkind things in the past to more illness-prone family members who I therefore suspected might be less than sympathetic.
So I'm on the phone with my sister a few minutes ago:
"You sound sick, are you sick?"
"Well, I'm kind of congested."
"HAHAHAHA! OMG, that's so cool! You never get sick!
[pause]
"I mean, I hope you feel better..."

Nobody fucks with the Colombians, Hec. That's true, Lyra. I think the author's point is that throat-slitting is, in itself sometimes a clue to motive...it's my fault for making it look like you can do it by throwing knives.

Brenda, sick or not, I think you're cool. I would have said so in my lj today, but my post got hijacked by the evil insurance company that insures my condo association. FWIW, all, Brenda brought a bottle of Spanish booze called Ponche to Cleveland with her. I haven't had the stuff in 16 years. I nearly cried for joy when I saw that bottle. Brenda is teh Coolest!
eta: That's great news Calli! Surgery and chemo~ma to your mother.

rat bastards... Sorry, can't read the phrase "condo association" without thinking that. It's like a very specific Tourette's. Slightly brighter tag, though. From a greeting card.

Ah, gotcha.

I deserve a cookie. Or maybe some nonfattening treat -- I haven't been able to do payroll for a couple of weeks because of computer issues. Today they got resolved and then due to time sheet issues I was sweating as to whether I'd get it all done by the deadline. I did, with 20 mins to spare.
Oh thank the lord we're all gonna get paid.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
20 minutes to spare? You are truly a payroll goddess, askye.

It's a new responsibility and I've only done it a handful of times, I might have made a correctable mistake -- because someone has wonky time every week. My supervisor has the final sign off but this is a huge responsiblity that I'm glad to have. Or will be glad to have once the newness wears off.
