Happy anniversary, Susan and Dylan.

paperdol, the after party looks like it was a blast. And you looked GREAT at the reading.

My poor babies! Both of them are sick today. Isaac just woke from his nap, no fever but cranky as hell. I gave him Tylenol and a bottle of milk and now he's zoning out to Backyardigans and is much happier. Frances has a fever I can tell, but she's still asleep so I don't want to bother her. I'll take her temp and give her something when she wakes up. But now I feel like the bad mom who threw a party and gave out a nasty cold as the party favor.

Shit, Isaac just got sick. I gotta go.

Thank goodness that donair pizza was explained!

I was also very curious. We used to have the doner kebab in London at 3AM on the way home from the club. But, I have been known to have one while sober. It's a good quick snack on a Saturday when you're running errands.

Until the first night I worked late and saw the cleaning people emptying everything into one big container. sigh.

I had that at my first apartment in DC. I very tactfully tried to say something to the maintenance guy, like "oh, I didn't know we could mix recyclables here" He said "I'm gonna tell you a secret. We don't actually recycle. We just put the bins out so people will stop asking about it. It costs too much money to recycle, and nobody wants their rent to go up" I just sighed, said okay and stopped sorting my trash.

Until the first night I worked late and saw the cleaning people emptying everything into one big container. sigh.

NYU did that and they seem to do it here in my SF building as well. It really pissed me off in NY because residences could and did get fined if they didn't sort their trash properly, but I never heard of that happening with businesses.

So it looks like Isaac has a fever too, a low one, but still. And he just threw up his tylenol, so I'm not going to try medicating him for a good hour or so.

sigh.

We assign employees to empty our recycle containers into the special recycle can ourselves, to make sure it all goes where it's supposed to.

I've noticed the cleaning people at my university dumping all the garbage and recycling into one bin, too.

They do it here, too. And at the grocery store I worked at we used to throw all all the plastic grocery bags that people brought in to recycle, except for the few we could use to bag up people's outgoing drycleaning

We have no recycling bins at my current apartment building. But I noticed a site where you could submit your residence for pickup, and it turns out they were already on the list--which means October, due to current demand.

Which is cool. Paperdol's apartment has it, as did CFerg's house, so I was startled by neither of my two west side places having it.

Hope the kids settle down, Burrell. It's a horrible day/week to be sick. Even *I* think it's too hot. Sorry I didn't get to talk to you more on Saturday.

My boss took today off since it was supposed to be her kids' first day at preschool. Except they got sick, so she came in to work -- left the sick kids with the nanny! Must be nice!
