DON'T LET THE SQUIRRELS GET YOU, DANA.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Be careful, Dana!!
I was just thinking about trying to leave early today, until I remembered I have a 4pm meeting. That I called. Ah well.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Can you un-call it?

No, I really need to have it. It shouldn't take too long, anyway.

I know, I know -- but it was kind of now or never. At least I can keep it short. Unlike the 4:30 meeting I had on Valentine's Day.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What is even happening?
Sometimes, a 4:00pm meeting on a Friday, is a good way to get everyone to shut up and get to the fecking point.

I sent three people 12 choices for a meeting time. I tried, I swear!

From the department of DUH, British study shows sword swallowing is pretty dangerous.
Sore throats—“sword throats”—occur when swallowers are learning, when performances are repeated frequently, or when odd shaped or multiple swords are used. Lower chest pains occur occasionally, most often after an obviously damaging swallow or when the “drop” is practised frequently. One performer described this pain after performing the drop 40 times a day in a state fair, and another described shoulder tip pain implying diaphragmatic irritation. Proprietary medicines are used for this problem, physicians are rarely consulted, and abstinence from swallowing swords is the main treatment.
Major injury is sometimes preceded by a previous painful performance, suggesting that minor injury may predispose to more serious damage. Occasionally a sword is difficult to advance or retract, presumably because of spasm or mucosal dryness related to nervousness or soreness. Overforceful efforts to move the sword may then cause trauma, and this resulted in oesophageal perforation in one performer. Several cases of perforation or severe haemorrhage occurred when swallowers used multiple or unusual swords or when a technical error was committed, often because of distraction. For example, one swallower lacerated his pharynx when trying to swallow a curved sabre, a second lacerated his oesophagus and developed pleurisy after being distracted by a misbehaving macaw on his shoulder, and a belly dancer suffered a major haemorrhage when a bystander pushed dollar bills into her belt causing three blades in her oesophagus to scissor.
