Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Aw, ita, poor thing. Migraines that won't quit (and keep coming back) are horrendous.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was wondering what Msbelle just asked.

If I weren't at work and/or 500+ miles away, I would take you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

is C working right now?

Nah, but there's nothing anyone can do.

I'm going to pretend to be conscious on this call, and then just go to sleep. Hopefully I've taken the muscle relaxant early enough that I won't have a hangover tomorrow.

But I haveHAVEhave to be on this call. It's part of the whole come to Jesus talk I had with my manager last week. I don't have to be useful, but I do have to show up. And hopefully stay awake.

I did get a decent amount of work done from home today. Especially considering. So I'm printing the required docs to PDF, loading them onto the Powerbook, and attending this meeting from bed.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Just don't listen to Robin about the icepick!

...what? Oh. Well, that makes more sense then.
