We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Hiya, folks.

I got outed as a Buffista to one of my coworkers at the company party last night. Possibly that second glass of not!champagne (i.e., sparkling wine) was not a good idea. But she's a Pancakeista, apparently, and had put it together a while ago when I recognized the TT interface on her screen and she figured out I liked Buffy (which I've been pretty open about at work). She says she won't rat me out, and I tend to believe her. Still, unsettling, especially since the entire convo took place while cramped on a bus, within close proximity to the VP.

Otherwise I'm doing well--yesterday was my birthday and I spent it at a scavenger hunt and the company party, which included Beach Blanket Babylon, a long-running SF musical revue with fantastic hats, and a pretty good dinner in North Beach. While I was out, my dog ran away but my sister found him, and then came to my house and did my dishes and left me a beautiful bouquet of roses. I love my sister.

Kat, congratulations on finishing your papers!

ita, good luck on the PM stuff--it's such a pain when people don't do what they've committed to. Is it because they have other obligations for people who are more demanding than you? Or are they just blowing you off? I've found that some people really do need more frequent reminders of deadlines and stuff, although I would much rather assume that they'll do what they said by when I said I needed it. And I continue to be frustrated on your behalf by your misbehaving body. It's like it doesn't know you have things you need to do.

I suspect I missed Nilly, so I'll just t wave at Nilly.

Err. Must go finish a story before people start arriving for Buffy-watching.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday Consuela! Nice of the company to throw a party in your honor. (well, we'll pretend)

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

Missed a birthday? Dammit. Happy birthday, Consuela!

Do you at least have a little time off this month? And how are you feeling physically?

I have the stats, which is just one day, so I might need to put in for another. I get lax when I don't travel.

Physically, I feel like crap. I'm two Imitrex into a horrible migraine, and am going for the anti-nausea pill next.

Is it because they have other obligations for people who are more demanding than you? Or are they just blowing you off? I've found that some people really do need more frequent reminders of deadlines and stuff

Their boss thinks they need to be on my page, and he is working today, because he's already answered my wee hours plea for support.

Problem is not just making the deadlines (they tend to avoid me when they miss them), but they don't tell me that things need to be done. So when I say "We have all the pre-reqs listed here?" they say yes, and then at the last minute (or later) we discover that's not true.

It's crazymaking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy belated, Suela!!

But she's a Pancakeista, apparently, and had put it together a while ago when I recognized the TT interface on her screen and she figured out I liked Buffy (which I've been pretty open about at work).

That's really funny.

OK, I just got the weekly phone call to parents out of the way, so that's good. My paper is basically exactly half written -- I have half of each section written, more or less. It's fine. I should have slept in longer this morning.

speaking of which, can you have some songs in iTunes be in a playlist only?
