But Cass, it's so much a chick thing, and it's painted as the worst thing ever. I'm not saying it's fun, or even something to shrug off, but she kills the guy in the end of the episode, and it feels like that's the only just end to the story. It's somewhat akin to the reformed prostitute who can't put out without heart just one more time to save the man she loves.

Why don't guys get those dilemmas? In real life, women can regard sex as business. TV and movies seems to have forgotten that a sympathetic woman can do any dissociation.

Bon, it was a bunch of black guys and an Asian chick. So we need to add to the Ratnerian files.

I just realised that my neuro appointment overlaps with my work status meeting. Why did I not check these things before I accepted the invitation? Pff.

Gronklies. It's not quite 9, and I've already taught one class today. It went pretty well, I think. Kind of found some little bit of energy, and did a lot of "who wants to come up to the board and show how to do this problem?" stuff, which I've been told I should do more of anyway. So now collapsing. Soon, will find coffee. (Well, soon will buy coffee. Coffee is everywhere, so no finding needed. Starbucks in this building, coffee cart outside the building, Starbucks across the street, random over-priced coffee across the street in the other direction, Au Bon Pain down the block. Lots of coffee available.)

Whee! Finished up my status report and timesheet and got those mailed out. It's very strange being held to a 40 hour standard, and having to justify all the time that doesn't fall into a project. It's not like I'm either billable or responsible for drumming up my own work.

Ah, well.

ita, nobody should say "Whee!" at 6:00 am their time. I'm not sure I could manage it yet and it's 9 here.

I was at work early! It's a late January miracle!

That is odd, ita. I have to "account" for all 35 of my hours, but I am allowed to group as much as I need into one entry for "being there in case people want me, and oh yeah, maybe did some non-billable library stuff".

Perkins the cat just woke me up, and then did something really cute, so I couldn't be mad at him. Does that seem right to you?

You people are all crazy with productivity.

oh, don't worry, I'm here being all non-productive and slack jawed.

You're my kind of people, Nora. You too, amych.

I am planning 3 day weekend getaways for the next 6 months!
