'Shindig'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm still stunned. I knew she wasn't feeling on top and had been getting checked out, but this was NOT on the list of maybes.
I'm just......wow. The call with my boss's boss AND her boss about my "maybe promotion", right before I got this news, has lost all importance.
Jeebus, MG. I'm so sorry. Many good vibes to her.
Congrats, Nora!
Oh, dear. I'm so sorry about your assistant, MG.
{{{{{{MG}}}}}} It's ok. You be worried about your assistant, we'll be excited for you about the prospect of promotion.
Does anyone else remember a story last year or so about chocolate as a cough suppresant?
Congrats, Nora!
vw, can you work on your paper if there's no work "work" to be done?
MG, I kept meaning to send vibes for the C situation yesterday and forgot. Glad to hear it's starting to work out. And yay! for possible promotion, although I can imagine the news about your assistant has taken the sine off your day. Much ~ma to her.

I've heard that caffeine can help when you're having a (mild) asthma attack, and chocolate contains caffeine (right?), but other than that I can't imagine it being a cough suppressant. Although, if it, it'll make this sinus infection cough I've got a lot easier to bear.

This is what I've been doing, for the most part...also, surfing the web, of course. I'm supposed to have a meeting with someone at 12:30. She doesn't appear to be back in the office yet, though.
I don't feel I know Nilly well enough to blame her for stuff. I usually blame Harvey, but then he wants to make it up to me by snuggling and purring.
I thought we were blaming Scola these days.
Poor Scola! Poor Nilly!
Well, I found an article about the study: [link]
Prelim. study, featuring 10 healthy volunteers, and coughing induced via capsaicin. It took a bit more capsaicin to induce coughing in those who had been given brom...something, a component of chocolate, than those who had been given codeine, or a placebo. Innnnnteresting, but hardly conclusive.
I gotta go get ready for work. Bleh.
