I know you said you'd be in today, do you think you've been there long enough to be like, "OK, done for the day, see ya!" Or, you could just say, "I'm in an assload of pain, I need to go home and drink heavily till I pass out."

Well, in your own words. Definitely don't use mine.

In NORA NEWS (which the board has gotten assloads of today anyway) I got an email regarding a second interview for the mega-job interview I had on Thursday! It's been less than a week, since my first interview, so I think it's a good sign. I have no idea when we can squeeze it in, because I have a conference Tues. and Wed., and am flying to London Wed. night. Also can't miss much work, due to conference prep.

Also, {{vw}}. I'm so sorry this is happening. Sometimes I am more with the how to solve and less with the sympathy. But the problem solving comes from sympathy!

I hope you start feeling better soon vw!

Home isn't an option for several hours, and a bath isn't an option at all. Our tub is gross. We only use it for showers. It's got paint pealing and all kinds of fun stuff.

Yay VW for getting to work. Boo to the pain, and I hope it goes away soon.

MG, not at all bad, and maybe I can do something about it tonight.

Yay for good job news, Nora! Good luck fitting in the next interview.

Nora, that's wonderful news! Go you!

vw, once you get home, you can microwave damp washcloths and wrap them around the ouchie areas.

Thanks. I will be talking to someone from HR, so that's also a pretty positive sign, I think. It could be de rigeur for 2nd interviews there, though, for all I know.

That's a good idea. Emily's got some of those thermo-heat pad things too. Maybe she'd let me use some of those.
