I left the kleenex in the car and as sad as it is, the though of walking all the way back out there (it's not far) exhausts me, so I'm making do with toilet paper.

I'm going to regret this later.

I actually didn't feel too bad until I tried thinking.

sarameg, why are you spreading your nasty germs all over the office? Tssssk.

I agree with Theo, sara. If you are too weak to get your kleenex, you are too sick to be at work.

I'm just cranky and toddler whiny, not weak. And, unfortunately, I didn't feel like ass until about half an hour ago. I woke up thinking maybe I'd dodged a bullet. I don't look sick. I don't sound sick. I just feel sick.

OMG, Amazon has some ADORABLE baby Halloween costumes.

OMG, I just had 15 minutes of pure panic thinking I'd deleted a shitload of files that should not be deleted.

...and then I realized they were files I had elsewhere and once I use them, I delete them anyway!

Brane broken. But flying on adrenaline now!

I just spent the last hour trying to parse recordation fee changes, so I kind of feel your mental pain, sarameg.

Sweet baby Jesus, I haven't had enough caffeine yet to deal with today.

OMG, someone is eating tuna and I am downwind of it. Yeeuch!

Oh, sara, I do hope you feel better soon.

As for me, well, sleep if for the week, or more than a couple of hours of sleep anyway, and definitely sleep-before-the-deadline, which means I've handed in that annoying report, crashed for a couple of hours, and am back again, foggy-minded but late on so many other things (due to that, oh, how surprising, that annoying repost, which ate all my time).

But! This is *not* a whining post. The deed is done, and therefore the whining should be minimized until other reasons are found for them to arise.

Oh, and, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Jeff Mejia's birthday. It's been so long since I got to see any font of his, I have no idea how he's doing, but I do hope he has a way to feel the well-wishes coming his way.

And, because I remember that they share a birth-date, happy birthday, Kristen! I hope you have a great day and a wonderful year!

Nilly!!!

Saturday night, I was having dinner with some other Buffistas and K-Bug called after her first day of work at Trader Joe's. She said that she is kind of scared by all the customers so we told her to pretend they are all Buffistas she hasn't met yet. She yelped and said NO, that is even scarier. They might fighten her like Nilly did. Ummmmm. Nilly...scary? Unpossible.

I asked her about that yesterday. Nilly was one of the first Buffistas she ever met and surprised her by plunking down and asking K-Bug lots of questions. Who was this small woman who knew so much about her life. I guess that equals scary. Gosh, that was how many years ago? Feels like yesterday.
