Happy birthday Theo and Jesse and Rayne!

I'm glad the pudding went over well, Sail. I was of Alexia's opinion until I visited New Orleans. I'm not suggesting mine matches up to theirs, but New Orleans inspired me to try and that's where the recipe came from.

I made the mistake of showing my jacked finger to a physical therapist cousin here, and...well, it's safe to say there's one person I'm going to let handle my finger from here on out, and it's not her. She way too casually did stuff to it that made it hurt, and then suggested I sleep without a brace and re-tear the ligaments every morning. It incenses me when people dismiss the amount of pain I report--I really don't start reporting until pretty late in the game. There is no fucking way I'm doing all that to my finger on a daily basis. Just...no.

Just dinged it in the fridge door, so have retired to the guest room to feel sorry for myself.

Downtown Chicago was deserted at 8:15 this morning. That was eerie.

I'm the only person here in my entire wing of the office.

No safe haven in Jamiaca neither!

Doors and cousins - you're on notice.

My bus ride was way too short, what with the lack of people. I was really into my book!

It's quiet here, but not empty. Some people have been here since 5am. Some just wandered in a few minutes ago. I have work I could be doing, but I'm trying to ration it.

I'm the only one in my office, across the hall there are three people. It's been very slow. I can't stack cats because it's blocked and google image labeler has lost it's appeal.

My train was maybe 1/3 or 1/2 as full as usual.

I'm the only person in my office too. So far, no phonecalls or emails. Hypothetically, I could have just taken a nap. I mean, in theory.

We only have one person out, but the streets on the way in were way empty. Also trying to pace myself, workwise.

Happy Birthday to Theodosia and Jesse and Rayne!

I think it's only going to be admins in the office today. It's okay - I'll get a lot of filing done. Whee....

I'm bored....

Who was better - Thing One or Thing Two?

I'm saving my filing until after lunch.
