Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Happy happy birthday, Aillean!

I think we're looking at the wrong webcomic. Jilli's the loose basis for a character in Dork Tower, not Penny Arcade.

What Plei said.

Damn a Jilli video game would be cool. There could be a level where she pokes people who are rude in the club with her hat pin. Also, when you get to the top level, you get a Clovis.

Bwah! Okay, you people know me really well.

Yeah, it hasn't been bad here at all. Actually, I just left the windows open overnight last night for the first time. It just really shot up today. And it's supposed to get cool again over the weekend and be back in the 70s for next week. I hate to put my window units in when I could just do windows again next week.

I did check, though, and see if any of the guys in my building were home a little while ago to see if they'd mind helping me put the AC units in. They're not, which to me means I need to wait. Plus, my landlord (who pays my electricity) would be cranky if I started using them this early. We're really not supposed to put them in until June.

I'm half tempted, though, to get a note from my doctor telling him that I cannot deal with heat, due to my medication, and I had to put them in early. Then, on Sunday I could have dad help me put them in. But, then again, it's gonna be cooler again next week, so...

Sorry the heat is getting to you, vw. A cool washcloth on your skin, especially at your pulse points, can help.

I am so boggled by the "too much humor" complaint that I don't really know how to respond. Especially since the complainers are going to bosses rather than just, say, hitting "Reply" with their concerns, how hard is that?

CAn you pop into a cool shower for a few minutes, vw?

Happy Birthday Ailleann!!

I'm sorry about spelling your name wrong in the F2F recap. By the time I realized it, I couldn't edit. It is by no means a reflection on my love for you.

Yeah. There's no such thing as too many showers in a day, is there (I've already had two today)?

vw, there's no such thing as too many showers if the alternative is homicide.

re: emails

I got in trouble for saying "I hope our phone technicians will be able to fix" etc., because management interpreted that as a statement of uncertainty and no confidence, whereas I meant it as "I hope we can meet again" type of polite language. It's amazing how people can look for opportunities to misinterpret.
