I agree with Hec. Lisah is wicked smart and extremey rocking--those are skills which can be useful in many work environments.

In what is an extremely annoying bit of timing, I am spending the last five days before my hysterectomy having my period. That means I get to try to finish up all the work I need to before I go away for three weeks and get to all my pre-op appointments while feeling crampy and emotional and headachy. Feh.

The upside is that I wil be really REALLY ready to say goodbye to my uterus.

Yeah, I guess. I'm sorry that happened Robin.

Gah! Robin, I'm so sorry.

Would it make you feel any better to know that you don't have to grade all these papers?

It DOES make me feel better, K! Although props on a very tidy and inviting desk.

Well, cleaning the dining room table and neatly stacking all of the work to be done was a nice way to avoid starting the real work.

Scrappy's uterus is a bit of a drama queen, I think. Making a big fuss and exit.

Goodbye, Cruel Uterus!

Indeed.

Higher ups sometimes act like it doesn't matter where people work as long as they have a desk and a computer.

It is total crap. My office has the fax machine, the daily files that everyone needs, plus the appointment book. This makes talking on the phone (which I have to do quite a lot) nearly impossible since everyone and their brother (sometimes literally) is around my desk, talking or whatever.

You are super sweet!

Equus Update:

Harry Potter did the full monty in the West End, and the critics liked what they saw. In other words, Daniel Radcliffe, best known for his film portrayals of the boy wizard Harry Potter, received enthusiastic reviews when he opened at the Gielgud Theater in London on Tuesday in a revival of the 1973 Peter Shaffer psychological thriller, “Equus,” in which he plays a tortured teenager, a role that requires him to appear in the nude, Reuters reported. Excitement surrounding the West End stage debut of Mr. Radcliffe, 17, helped sell $3.9 million worth of tickets before the opening and attracted a galaxy of stars to the first night, including Bob Geldof, Helena Bonham Carter and Christian Slater. The play’s co-star is Richard Griffiths (Harry’s nasty uncle in the films), as the psychiatrist who plumbs the teenager’s obsession with horses. “No flash in the magic pan,” was The Guardian’s assessment of Mr. Radcliffe’s performance. The Daily Telegraph said, “Brilliant Radcliffe throws off Harry Potter’s cloak.”

Yay, Daniel. Pretty to look at and talented too.
