Nice.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks.
msbelle, I would say it sounds like they're friends. Or possibly work spouses. :) That said, five times a day for 10-20 minutes could easily be called "cutting into your work time and goofing off, stop it before you get in trouble" territory.
Ugh. I don't know what to do. My head is mostly cleared up, just a slightly stuffy nose. But now, everytime I lie down, I cough. It's almost 2am. I want to sleep. I don't think I can sleep without the aid of nyquil, but I dont think I'll be able to get up at 6 for work and then, you know, drive until the nyquil is out of my system.
I have enormous anxiety about missing a third day of work in a row. There's no rational basis for this. I know. I'm still sick. No one at work would find it reasonable for me to risk my life (not to mention others on the road) driving while chemically drowsy.
The anxiety about missing another day, though. I don't know how to fix that part.
paperdol, if you're still sick, the best thing you can do *for* your job is stay home and rest and recover for another day, you know? You're actually *doing* your job in the best way possible by staying home, I think.
Anyway, I hope you get some rest, soon.
Will you write me a note?
In two languages, with equations showing why I'm right, if they want some, too.
This is why Nilly is the best.
Go you, Lee!!
One of my neighbors just gave me a present. It's my book, hard bound in leather with the title and my name embossed in silver on the spine.
That's AWESOME.
I am on my way to work. That is Not Right. For the record.
Um, Jesse, isn't it like not-even-properly-morning, in your timezone?
You should work these other-timezones hours only if that means getting trips from work to those timezones, meaning coming to visit me, of course.
paperdol's neighbor is, indeed, awesome. And a note from Nilly should do it. Also, as far as I'm concerned, sick people should stay home and keep their germs to themselves.
I love the idea of the ninja flight - just think! someone else packs for you, you don't have to stand in line, you don't get stuck in a middle seat, no screaming passengers of any age, you get where you're going rested!
And I think the Virginia bad-driver laws, though enacted by people who aren't likely to suffer from them, are partly in response to a prevalence of bad driving (mostly to help balance the badly out of whack state budget, though). The Post's commuter column, Dr. Gridlock, cited the Virginia law about making right and left turns on red ... which leads me to ask, aren't you supposed to stop on red?
