I do need to dust off my resumé, and the sooner the better. Right now, however, I'm concentrating on breathing and not keeling over and not killing people while I sort through this ginormous pile of work.

And food. Food would be a bright idea.

I can't tell if I have a post-Nyquil coma or a current-Sudafed coma.

Me too! And I need to go fuss with websites that only work, sort of, on PCs. Doesn't bode well.

Hmm.

In a sharp reversal, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission said Tuesday the agency now thinks cable companies should stop forcing people to subscribe to bundles of channels and instead let them choose the channels they want.
