Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I was hoping to work for at least a few more hours before going home sick today, but I don't think I'm going to make it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Parents Just Don't Understand, Jesse.
True, true.
I just realized that the work I have to get done this week mostly has to wait until tomorrow. So I've done most of what I can for the day today. Now all I can do is sit here and try not to eat all the candy on my desk!
Go home, shrift!

I have a Bad Evil Cold, but am at work, because end of the year is a busy time in the land of HR. I felt so bad when I got home yesterday that I went to bed at 8 and slept until 6 this morning. That helped.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A Week in the Life of Benazir Bhutto
In a series of "Diary" entries published in 1997 and reproduced below, the Pakistani opposition leader describes giving impassioned political speeches and buying McDonald's ice cream sundaes for her children.
Damn. She was awesome.
edit to fix link.

I'm gonna try to make it another 45 minutes, and then I think I'll crawl home and go back to bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Your link is blank, tommy.
I've emailed in late this morning. Have an unavoidable afternoon of meetings, so this is the way up it has to be.

Go home and feel better, shrift!
Happy Belateds to both Theodosia and Jesse!
From last night:
Does eBay have gift cards?
Yes, it does--I gave one to my sister for Christmas. I picked it up at the gift card center at my local grocery store (which was well-stocked with everything from Home Depot to Bed Bath & Beyond and Macy's).
I was so sad to hear about Benazir Bhutto on the radio this morning, but I wasn't shocked--if that's being cynical about the status of opposition leaders in volatile regimes, so be it.
