Cash, I was you on Monday. Glad I was at work and not home freaking out Casper by worrying over nothing.

Remember I didn't get that new job? Well, it seems they're going to compensate by upgrading my current position, so I'll get the money of the new job (I hope most of it, anyway) and none of the icky new responsibilities! This is good, although I won't gain the experience and fancier job title.

{{Cashmere}} Owen will have a blast. Iris is currently plotting world domination with her pre-school pals, if it helps. Plus... think of the Yo Gabba Gabba that will NOT be watched today.

More money is always of the good, flea. Plus this way next time you go for a new job, you'll get the title and even MORE money.

Happy birthday to meara and Jen! Must be a good day to be born.

Cash, I know--well indirectly, more true to say I know *of*--a Rock Paper Scissors champion. No really, he's won competitions and everything.

ita, one ER visit a night is really too much, three is... I'm so sorry.

I'm a bit of a wreck today, not enough sleep. Basically couldn't get back to sleep after the kids woke me at 3:30 am and I wound up booted out of my bed (self-quarantined for fear that I may have pink eye), not to mention I may have pink eye but I can't tell the difference between possible pink eye and serious lack of sleep.

Okay. Man, last night sucked. This morning hurts, but not my head, so I'm calling it a win. Big win.

Happy birthday, meara, JenK!

And way cool on compensation, even just in part, flea.

Cashmere? You're doing a good job. This is what's supposed to happen.

And then more stuff, but my throat is sore and my heel killing, and I need to be in at 8am this morning. Must shower.

Glad there is no head pain this am , ita.

happy first day Owen.

Happy birthday Jen K

yay money flea.

Do you need help beating up the cousin , tiggy?

I too need to jump in the shower. darn.

I was just about to ask if ita was home, and she is, so yay.

Happy birthdays!

I am very carefully not adding any editorial commentary to any of my work e-mails this morning. Mostly because the commentary would consist of, "I want to stab you all in the throat with a pair of scissors. No, I'm not joking. I have the scissors in my hand right now and I'm making stabbing motions at my computer monitor."

I am just going to say- what beth b. said!

Also, I liked that link, flea. I have a teacher that is starting next week who has not gotten me any of the articles he uses for class, which doesn't seem major, except at my uni, we have to get copyright clearance for each article that we post on Blackboard or Xerox! And he uses hundreds of articles!

My sympathies, Sophia.
