What's so special about Thursday, Kat?

::acts clueless::

I should really be doing laundry right now.

Lee, LJ was just fine for me. I think it must have it in for you.

Why does it hate me?

ION, if I had stayed home today the way I really wanted to, I would be watching FNL or napping right now.

I've been going through training on software for work that I don't even do at this point in my job, and hopefully won't be stuck doing while I'm at this position, but at least it'll look good on my review in November that I'm doing some educational stuff. This is for a new way to produce our pages for publication that supercedes the slightly older way, but the thing is, the last time I worked in editorial production (six years ago) I was still working on typecodes, not SGML (which is now being replaced with XML), so all of this shit is new to me. I'm just letting it all go over my head, with the hope that some of it will sink in, but since it's all new, I'm just marveling at the changes in the procedures.

LJ is down for me too, Lee. So LJ hates us but loves Kat. Figures.

Funny thing I learned today: I am not nearly as assertive as I need to be.

Uh oh. Does someone at Children's need to be bitchslapped?

Ha. Actually I could just as easily have said Friday. I'm really not so excited about my birthday.

A nurse just came to give me exercises to do with Noah. Not for me (like stomach crunches with Noah!) but for him. These include tummy time, holding things and being read aloud to. I can actually do all of that.

Bits of the internet keep withering up and dropping off the grid today. It's annoying because some of them are actually places I use for work.

I'm blaming Moldova.

Why does it hate me?

Well damn. Now it hates me too. I blame you, Lee. It knows I'm associating with you.

Burrell, we have an eye appointment tomorrow (expect it to be half a day long I was told) and she said to tell the staff that Noah needs to be put in a room immediately to avoid other germy kids. AND that I need to tell Dr. K to wash his hands since he has a rep for not. I am hard pressed to imagine doing either thing.

sarameg, What has Moldova ever done to you?

LJ still down, apparently. It's a conspiracy to make me do useful things, apparently.

Tummy time! Tummy time was such a source of mommy anxiety for me with Frances. She hated it and cried and inevitably I'd end it after a minute or two. Instead all I did was hold her for like a month, maybe two. And then lo and behold, she eventually liked it and wanted to be on her tummy and I learned that everything comes at its own time. But so much needless anxiety on my part!
