Deena, I love hearing Kara and Aidan stories. They are both so funny.
Ellie is now napping and the researchers have left. The study is about post-partum weight loss so they asked me a million questions about stress, diet, and exercise. They took my height and weight and gave me $30. I get another $20 if I answer some questionnaires they left and $30 for wearing this exercise monitor next week. I certainly wouldn't do it *for* the money, but it's always nice to have a little bit extra. It's also sort of fun to have company, even if it's two people I don't know. Oh, and they played with Ellie some (while observing her) and left her a cute little teething ring.
eta: vw, sorry about the tough meeting but I hope it was beneficial.
Have you got a task which will keep you moving? Something to work off all the energy you've got held in?
Well, I need to figure out how to do animation in PowerPoint. Does that count? Why do I tell people I know how to do things that I don't know how to do????
What can we do to help, vw?
Magically make it 6:30?
I think the meeting was beneficial. He's re-reading the paper. But, he noted that he's doing it on the defensive, so he may come back tougher. Ugh.
Yeah. Fab, Mr. Chips.
Best of luck...no matter what, he can't kill you.

For me, it wouldn't. My brain won't disengage from the other problem and the lack of focus just makes it harder to learn something new. Do you have filing to do? Or anything that would put you in a position to walk somewhere, deliver something to another department/coworker/whatev. Use up that adreneline. Hey, offer to go get lunch for some of your coworkers! Every one loves it if someone else runs for it and it will keep you active.
vw, you can do it! Let's send each other "get it done" vibes as I have to take a practice GRE test, take my online mid-term for my class, and do an assload of stuff at work by end of day Friday. I'll start:
~~~get!~~~~it!~~~~done!~~~~yay!~~~
I wish I had a Hello Kitty head key.
