That is a very cool post about a cool person, Hec. I hope there are a lot of stories about him EM (and you) can tell Emmett.

I'm sorry for EM, and especially sorry that Emmett never got to know the man he was.

This. Definitely this.

I picked up my new glasses. They're totally wicked cool, right? [link] Also, hair's kinda cute today. I should actually *do* it more often.

Ack! Anne, I can't believe you don't have heat yet! I'm so sorry.

Hec, that was well said. A great tribute to a great man.

I'm at the doctor's office. New doctor. Physical time...wheee. Not. I really hope I like this doctor because I finally got all of my medical records transferred and *really* don't want to do that again. Also hoping doctor doesn't balk at writing prescriptions so I can get my meds refilled since that's really the only reason I'm here. Unsurprisingly, they're running late.

Gah. So much to do before Saturday's party, and no braincells or willpower left to do it. Could whoever stole my motivation please return it?

I am so frustrated. Rant ahead.

Darned headache either has me asleep or awake with minimal functions. Last day of Stat class and I still have a personal assignment due. It is melting what is left of my brain. Teammates are NOT doing their part and we are running out of time. Also realized I am late on paying bills and really should go through everything tonight...ain't going to happen, but the stress of it remains. Missing work today was necessary, but OY the piles that will be there for me tomorrow.

I want a cave. With internet and chocolate.

This. But I'm glad he lived and accomplished so much. It sounds like he will leave behind love, children, memories and stories.

It may have been me. But, I kinda need it. Can you borrow from someone else?

{{{Suzi}}}

And after that selfish outpouring. My thoughts are with EM and her family.

I may be the one stealing all the motivation. I have none of my own and I'm forcing myself to get this done.

I was just listening to a Paul Robeson recording earlier this morning.

I'll raise a glass to Jack Devine tonight. Thank you for telling us about him, David. My thoughts are much with you and your little tribe these days, since my fortunate encounter with JZ on the train.

I am asking for job ma~ for Matt. This a postion he applied for a year ago - that through the world of HR - he didn't get. They guy they hired increased his skills and found a better paying job. so DH, the original prefered canidate, is now up for the job again. it looks like this job would mean more money, a non- commute ( 3.5 miles), almost no travel, and a better deal on-call wise. My personal hope for this job is some flexability. as in he has to work a lot one week - so the next week he can take a bit of extra time off to run to the guitar store. Second, I want a place that respects time off. Anyway , there are other possiblities out there, so this isn't the only oppertunity, but it would be a great christmas present.
