I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

GUH - I thought my minion was getting better, but this morning since I am working for home, I left him with a a task list IN ORDER, that even said it was IN ORDER - it was very detailed with instructions on who to talk to and where to find things and what to do if a or b happens. He just IM'd me asking about the LAST thing on the list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My hands are shakey. I really shouldn't be driving.

Decision made.

So why do I feel like a shirker, even though I plan on calling in to all the meetings if I stay home?

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

Buffistas in NC and Memphis please to not be on fire, ok?

I don't think we have anyone down that way -- the mess is 30 miles or so to the south of most of us -- but it's close enough to cause traffic and worry. And, of course, sheer bogglement at the town of Apex for allowing a hazardous waste dump right in the middle of downtown and then not making it clean up after years and years of safety violations.

So what's up with Memphis? We're obviously getting mostly local news around here...

Okay, back to bed. Some work already done, and I have a couple hours yet before my first meeting.

That sucks, msbelle. I've got two senior (I'm talking over 10 years in the company) people like that, so I've had to teach a couple of the junior folks how to prioritize based on my reports and they actually do it right. The others, I just don't worry about anymore. I tell my planner I'll be gone and he goes in and tidies up for me what the junior guys haven't picked up on yet.

Thanks for all the birthday happies! It is so far. Teh daughter came over and made breakfast for me. So. sweet.
