Tummy hurts.

It's just? I am so over this. I know stress is a trigger but... So over it.

On my tv David Attenborough is talking about the "poetry" of amber and the critters it contains. This is surprisingly charming.

He also mentions his brother Richard in that movie where they remade dinosaurs from skeeter tummies. Which was cute too. The mentioning. Not the stomach contents, that was mostly blood.

Thanks, everyone, for the good wishes. I'm taking them with me as I head out the door, and I'm keeping them with me the whole time.

Everybody! Get thee to the National Zoo! [link]

Oh, Daniel, what a shitty, shitty day. I hope today is better.

All my health~ma to JenP. Good luck, love. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers

How does one fuck a bug?

SPP is dead to me.

Ok. Math prof has given me extension on today's homework. Behavioral Neuroscience prof is letting me make up the exam next week. Down to two exams today. This is feeling a bit more manageable.

you can do it vw!

I am at work and none too pleased about it. I'm in that place where I'm not sick enough to stay home, but miserable at work, and the problem is that I have a nasty, pre-bronchitis cough, and am working really really hard (with the aid of Mucinex) to get stuff OUTTA THERE so that it doesn't turn into bronchitis. Throw in a houseguest for the ENTIRE WEEKEND and I'm not a happy Nora. Sigh.

MUCH ~ma for JenP, and Erin, I'm so sorry about your friend's father. It must be devastating. Also, Cindy, I'm so sorry about Julia's friend. Here's hoping that treatment works, and quickly, and this will just be a distant memory in a few years for the entire family.

Daniel- oof. Their pay procedures indicate that perhaps fast quitting is not exactly unknown to them... speaks to a terrible corporate culture. Also, ugh, on the odor thing. I know that Tom is incredibly, incredibly paranoid about that and I know he would be humiliated if something were ever to be said about it to him. Anyway. I'm sorry, I hope things get LOTS better today or next week, and if not, hope you can hang till first payday and then find something better!

bt, link doesn't work. What's up at the Zoo?

And Daniel, egad.

And Daniel, egad.

Thanks. And thanks everyone.

Did I mention employees can't go through the main doors? One must enter through the loading dock door on the opposite side of the buildng from the parking lot?

And that if you clock back in early from lunch, you are subject to disciplinary action? Or if you work extra time without prior written permission?

JenP, I'll be ~~ma-ing at you fiercely.

Daniel, I'm sorry your first day at work was so full of asshattery.

Punctuation and ~ma to JenP, Cindy, and Erin. Still ~ma going out to Teppy's dad, and sj and vw.
