Excellent news on the review though. You indeed rock like a rocking thing that rocks.

Apparently so! Huzzah! My bosses have been smoking the good crack!

Nah, seriously, I've done some pretty good work over the year, and thanks to my work history I'm something of a unique commodity. But I'm still easily distracted by shiny things.

I'm usually trying to cut my papers down to make a page-limit max. I think this one's gonna barely make the minimum.

Thanks, everyone. I must not have been too worried because I fell back asleep.

I love that Mal says Ole. What a cutie!

Good silver lining. Knowing what is really important to you is key.

Ayup. Now all I need is for the woman of my checklist to show up.

I think my brother is frightening them off.

Ack! I'm almost through my outline, and I've still got three pages to go. This is not good.

It's an outline, right? Just write it around the margins of each page.

Yeah, I'm a huge help.

Raq, if you are still around, I just looked through most of your pictures from Germany. (They were a great distraction while suffering through the pump.) They are amazing! Bavaria looks so beautiful - I think I'm going tohave to talk to Joe about going there after Puerto Rico. Mal looks so cute in his carrier.

vw, I feel your pain. I have only a conclusion left, and still have about 1/5 of the length of the thing to fill.

eta: I also have nothing to conclude at the moment, which makes life awfully special.

I'm doing what's commonly known as bullshitting, talking out my ass or snowballing. It's great fun!

My whole paper is that. It's amazing how well that works out, a lot of the time.
