4 am work phone calls? Dude, no fucking way. I'd find a way to reach out and touch someone through the fiber op system. And it wouldn't be a loving caress, either.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Erin and meara, it is really not as bad as it sounds. What does suck though is when you get to the office at 6:15 and the whole team is supposed to be here, but no one is. And then you are doing work and it is 6:30 and STILL no one from your team is in or has emailed to explain why they are running late.
Bottomline, I leave the office at 2 today no matter what.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Unf. I feel predictably terrible.
I'd love to call in sick, but there's that one meeting that was a bitch to get going in the first place, and I dare not cancel. So I think I'll go back to bed as soon as I finish updating my sister via IM on life back home, and after e-mailing my homebound status into work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yuck, ita. At least there's a big picture of Colin in my Metro this morning: [link]
msbelle's early days make me think of my colleague who lives in CA but works on NY time, by choice. It freaks me out every time I realize I'm talking to her at 6am.

I was so insanely edgy last night, I took myself offline. And then twitched about the apartment. Partially the mugginess outside, partially end of vacation, partially just twitch. Even tried a nap and just woke up annoyed I didn't just sleep through until morning. FUN.
Today, I will remain in denial about the nasty outside.

Okay, e-mailed in working from home. Now I just have to make sure I'm on top of it for the 9am meeting. Whose stupid idea was...oh, right.

OK, so I get into work and all the database lookups that worked yesterday are not working. Buh?
I'm going to go get me a donut and try again in a few. Donuts fix db problems, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You have to run this:
INSERT Donut INTO database_thingie
WHERE Sucky(lookups) = True;

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
INSERT Donut INTO database_thingie
