I work by the UN. This morning on my cab ride to work the jerk in front of us did a U-turn in the middle 42nd street during rush hour. Squealing breaks, swearing, snarled traffic, etc. Unshockingly, the driver had diplomatic plates.

It's annoying, and sometimes dangerous -- but truth be told if *I* had diplomatic plates I'd likely indulge in some eccentric parking, clipping the odd red-light, more than a little bit of speeding...

Raq! Go drive really REALLY fast! Park somewhere absurd! It'll be FUN!!!!

Raq, I love that pin! Continued biopsy~ma to you.

And I think a bucket of martinis sounds like a wonderful idea. They might be necessary to counteract the chocolate covered coffee beans I've been hoovering this afternoon. On the upside, no 2pm crash. So far.

Yesterday, I sat across from a guy in lipstick. This was a first for me, especially as he was, like, not an especially girly looking bloke, transgender or no. That was...novel.

erika, maybe he lost a dare?

Raq, much biopsy~ma and I love the pin! Retail therapy is good.

It's Friday. Yay. I can not wait to just be able to sit in one spot for a couple of days without having to check on parts, check on more parts and then call my planner and ask, "where's my parts?"

Tonight, I go to Gilbert and Sullivan with the fam. Before that to a mediterranean restaurant. Should be nice and relaxing. Definitely need it.

erika, maybe he lost a dare?

Ha! That was totally my first thought as well.

Tonight, I go to Gilbert and Sullivan with the fam.

Which show?

Crap, P-C, you had to ask me that, didn't you? I'ma have to go look up the schedule for the Madison Savoyards, they do one G&S a year.

ETA: Their website says this year's production is "Patience", or "Bunthorne's Bride". Sounds like William the Bloody-Awful-Poet would have been quite at home there.

health~ma to Raq.

I woke up with a blindingly bad headache, got ready for work anyway, and then decided I couldn't go in when my head felt ready to explode. I went back to bed at about 9 and woke up at noon. Head is still achey but not as bad. This is bad cause I worked from home yesterday, and I'm working from home Mon-Tues next week due to new air conditioner being installed. Whoops!

Health~ma to Raq.

Poor Glamcookie. No head aches. They are not allowed. But, new a/c? Yay!

I'm on deadline for a project at work and so for this week, I've written over 100 pages. I still have another 30 to go today and more next week. This is the fifth set of 6 reports for this client and it's the last set. I CANNOT wait for this to be ovah.

Biopsy ~ma, Raq.

Headaches are bad. Ever since I got off the plane in CA, I've been sneezing and wheezing from something that blooming/dying/molding/shedding so errand #1 at lunch is to go out and get myself some super-soft tissues. My poor nose is raw.

All the professors seem to have come back to work today. We've had a run of research requests to which my answer has uniformly been, "You're kidding, right?"

I love Patience ! It's tied with Yeomen for my favorite. It's got one of the better plots.
