Eeep. Yes, much health-ma. It isn't some strep mutation, is it?

You know, when filling out your history on job application, and you reach:

What did you like least about this position?

How on Earth do you translate "its soul-sucking pestilence" into a term which will not discourage a prospective employer from hiring me?

Yeah, I know...funny when the universe lines up like that...does that mean DS is God? Because I hear he's got a head start on thinking that shit. Yeah, Robin, here's hoping I get out of Evidence Control this year, at least. Bostonistas: As a Lehane fan, if I get out of your area without being cut in half, I'll consider it a good trip, okay?

You're a genius, Tom. Because it's also the complete truth! Just not all the truth! Therefore it is truthy enough for me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

"unreasonable expectations"? Although that might backfire. I like Tom's.

It was challenging.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, when were you here and why didn't I know about it?

I was just there for a conference for the weekend, and I couldn't escape my crazy coworkers. Here's a a question: we were staying at the Crown Plaza by the courthouse and whatever, and ended up going to dinner both nights at Italian places on Shrewsbury Street (different places). Could we have done better?

Shrewsbury Street is pretty much the place to go if you want Italian food in Worcester, unless you come to our place. There is a lot of really great food in Worcester. Surprisingly so, although I am still getting to know my way around here. There is a really wonderful Chinese restaurant right near our place. I'm sorry you couldn't get away. Do you remember the names of the restaurants you went to? Did you like the food?
