Sparky, you can't have my desk. Sorry.

I really just want to re-do mine, maybe replacing the phone with a box of chocolate about the same size.

I can print you a badge and tell you where the breakout sessions are.

I hate appearing to be the go to person when I have no power and no knowledge.

Well, just print a badge that says "Not the 'GO-TO' Person" and you're solid.

Plei, how is the Squeak?

Just got an e-mail from the prof I tutored for this semester. Both students I tutored let her know how extremely helpful I was. That made me feel a little better. We're going to try to plan better next semester, which will be good. I think we're going to cut off students registering for tutoring four weeks before the end of the semester. That will allow me to really be able to help them with their papers and avoid this end-of-the-semester crunch that we had this semester.

Sounds like a good solution, vw.

Today I can't seem to type, keep slipping in random letters that neither belong in the words I am typing nor yet are placed on the keyboard anywhere near the right letters. And it isn't a case of my fingers deciding to type actual words that just happen not to be the words I was planning to write. That happens sometimes, and I often wonder what exactly the message would be if left unchecked. Maybe I should get sloshed sometime and just start typing to see what comes of it.

I was planning to take a poll about whether I should spend the last couple hours before work napping or reading. I think I just answered my own question, though. G'nite.

Plei, how is the Squeak?

Feeling better. I'm hoping she actually eats something today--she seemed happy enough with the toys when we dropped her off, but I anticipate a sad, wilted Lily when I get home.

The food is here. I want them to set up quicker. I'm hungry.

t /all about me

Actually, we know that tag will never close...

Oh, Plei, I hope she has a good day. No matter what, I'm sure seeing Mommy will perk her up.

Dear Co-Worker:

For Christmas, I would like it if you spoke to me about something that wasn't a problem or issue. I would like a conversation with you to revolve around something that isn't insinuated is a problem I created or a situation that is my fault. Yes, the conferences this week went well. Thanks for asking! Yes, I am certain that whatever I do with the credit card machine will end with us being laible to lawsuit. Thanks. You don't have to be nice or civil to me every day, but maybe once a week, you might say something to me that does not have the subtext of, "you're a dumb ass, Nora."

GOD.

MM had to hide one of Emeline's Christmas packages from me cause I almost opened it.

We don;t know what family member it's from, but I want to OPEN IT NOW.

It's from American Girl.
