Hope the migraine goes away soon, ita.

I was foiled in my search for sushi by the place I wanted to try out being closed by 9pm, and my regular haunt (which I'd have had to order takeout from as it closes at 9:30) being blocked by a stream of shuffling guys in backwards-turned baseball caps. After circling the building twice I decided that it would be better to go home and fix a sandwich than to mow down an unobservant frat boy and count on my order being ready before the police arrived.

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

Dino died.

(Dino is one of our servers. We have a Flintstones theme to our network.)

So anyway, I might be rather busy for a while. Or not. We'll see.

I was busy reading this article [link] about millionaires in silicon valley who feel poor. It pulls at the heartstrings to read about their poor millionaire lives.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

But it's not about how they feel poor, rather that they never feel wealthy enough. That's probably true of everyone here, even though we are rich compared to lots of people.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nah, I feel plenty wealthy. And kind of guilty about it, usually.

I make OK money and have no dependents. But I spend a lot of money eating out and stuff I don't need and what-not.

More money would be nice, but then I think of all the poverty in the world and consider myself lucky. Plus, you know, I could have been born 1000 years ago and been a serf or eaten by bears....

I feel poor, especially given my household's education level. Right now my daughter qualifies for federal reduced fee school lunches, based on our income. For a two-master's degree household, it's a little embarrassing.

It's also 77 degrees in my office and rising. Why the AC gotta be broken when it's expected to be 100 degrees today?
