ah Monday, how I hate you so.

The office is actually a little chilly this morning. I think this may be the beginning of the shift from the too hot winter to the too cold summer. Unfortunately, I did not wear a cardigan today, so I hope it warms up some.

Yeah, this is definitely the "don't know what temperature it is" season. I don't know whether to keep the drapes open (for the sunlit warmth) or closed. I don't know whether to leave my storm windows up or open the windows. I don't know whether to build a fire or to bust out the fans.

But then I think I hear my cousin's voice on the phone and I realize she actually DID call Grandpa.

Heh. My SIL has a lot of numbers programmed into her phone. D really likes her phone. She gets amused calls from people all the time. "Uh, I think your son called me. " If he gets one of his grandparents, he'll actually hold a coherent conversation, but otherwise it's pretty much a random monologue.

Kids on the phone are funny. We have a buddy of ours whose little boy always answers the phone and babbles incoherently for a while before one of the parents gets on the line. We never knew why and were always a little bemused by this.

This month we paid them a visit, and the phone rang while we were there. The little boy jumped up and rushed to answer the phone. Why? Because it's an Incredibles phone, complete with flashing light. Hee! Cute. He's been picking up the phone in order to save the universe. He must have been equally bemused when it was only his parents' lame friends.

Why is my brain not yet working?

I think I need a very fine-toothed comb to scrape all the gunk out of my brain. Then it'd work.

ah Monday, how I hate you so.

What she said.

I still don't feel well, and I can't not go to work, at least this morning.

I want an Incredibles phone. That's awesome.

ah Monday, how I hate you so.

ha! Normally I think Monday gets a bad rep, but today I am so with you. Didn't sleep. Woke up at 1 am with a sore throat, and it's still here. Have to get to work early. Didn't get anywhere near to finishing my grading. Today already SUCKS.

Ugh. Me too. Nor can I curl up in a fetal ball under my desk.

I wanted so badly to call in "tired", but with both designers out and 3 projects with the developers (which means daily problems given to me to fix) I knew it was not a good idea.

I do think I am having my lunch outside in a park today, and I am leaving right at 6 unless some disaster occurs.
