Holy crap, what a day already. I have a raging sinus headache despite having taken five of my ten days dosage of Augmentin so far. I’d probably use a sick day except construction is going on at my house on weekdays so it’s not restful. Work just went to a new password system and somehow that messed up Entourage so I had to call IS. Then my first call of the day was one of those where I end up directing someone how to use the phone book because our company does not make what they’re asking for and they’re just calling because it’s an 800 number and they’re counting on me doing the research for them. Then I get the news that my only co-worker in this department (our jobs are different, but he covers my lunch and we share certain duties) has called in sick again. Jesus, I need to take my sick and personal time before I’m cashiered outta here and I hope he doesn’t make it difficult for me. He wasn’t laid off.
So, yeah, grouchy.
Spidra, if you're sick and laid off, don't consider co-workers when deciding to take your time off.

Also today, it's f-ing freezing out and I seem to be coming down with a cold.
AND last night, the Haligonistas accidentally and unknowingly ate larb.

I hope he got a good severance package.
Larb Gai - Spicy Thai Chicken Salad

It's only funny because it used to be on the menu, and then they removed it. So we'd talk incessantly about larb every time we went to the Thai restaurant, including last night. And they've redone their menus, and B. noticed a new item "Laab Gai", so we decided to try it. It turns out that laab was a typo for larb.
The replacement (mostly tops for now) hinges on color and style variance.
I went through this. Or really, it was two stages: color, after college, when I realized gray and black weren't the be-all, and then I went bananas several winters in a row over wearing the same style outfit day in and day out. When you have to wear a sweater every day (because you're as cold as I am), you start to get bored with your standard crewneck sweater really quickly.
My wardrobe travails are the slow realization that having changed pants size in my winter clothes means I did the same thing in all my other clothes, and will have to start replacing them too. WTF! (N.b. I never dieted or changed weight much before, so this is a disconcerting and new situation for me.)
They're perfectly good clothes! That fit me last year! The clothes changed, I didn't!
The clothes changed, I didn't!
Heh. The reason my replacement is restricted to tops so far is because I have five pounds left to go to reach my previous stable weight (and ten to reach my target) and I'm interested in clothes that fit. My upper body won't change much (I hope), but who knows what my ass will be like when I'm done.
OMG, so cute!
Panda Kindergarten (video).
So many pandas! And they wriggle! And hug!
Damn, that's too cute. I'm tempted to spam people with that video, but they'd think I'd snapped.
