Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy birthday, Anne!

The deadline that made last week crazed and me want to beat people over the head for procrastinating and then panicking? Has been extended for another 10 days due to equipment failure. cries.

Very glad to hear your dad's getting stuff taken care of, ita.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday Anne!

ita, I hope your day is hugely better than yesterday was.

That sucks, sarameg. Hopefully you won't have to be as crazed when the new deadline rolls around.

I already had a little fit at work today due to someone editing a "private" copy of one of our documents. Without tracking the changes. sheesh.

Happy Birthday, Anne! And I'm glad to hear your father's getting treatment, ita.

How is it that I'm off this week, and I still got up at 5:30 to go running with my sister? Peer pressure is an amazing thing.

I went by the new office yesterday at noon to meet with the woman I'm replacing (her last day is tomorrow and I don't start until next week); instead of a quiet hour or so going over the filing system, I got a formal 2-hour briefing (complete with PowerPoint), was introduced to 12 people, and ended up gossiping for nearly an hour with the former coworker who turned me onto the job.

All of which was nice, but I was there until 5:30, and dude, this is supposed to be my week off. I was pleasantly surprised that my boss-to-be already said something about making the time up to me.

Today I meet with a gardener, run my niece to the orthodontist, and get a hot rock massage, woot.

How are y'all?
