Anyone else see something ironic in an online course for overcoming shyness? [link]

Quite a lot actually.
So, who stole the face/name recognation software from my brain? I can't recall anyone's name today and keep embarrassing myself by calling people by the wrong name. And, in a meeting with the honors coordinator today, I couldn't name my honors adviser (ended up saying, "You know! The guy that sits over there!") or my profs for a couple of classes we were looking up. Thank goodness for the online world where names are right there with posts!

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Thanks for the wishes, guys! I think the handout turned out pretty well, and I managed to actually get my color laser printer to cooperate.
It was all over and done in 30 minutes, as I knew it would be. Then I got breakfast and took a nap. Now I need to go to work.
I may get some new patients out of it, but at the very least I got to walk through demonstrating the stretching technique to a group. A very good experience.
The sky is a weird gray color.
Also, Nora I love your Leap Year engagement story!
Gronk.

That's so sweet, Nora.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That sure brightened my day, sumi. Thanks!

Is this day over yet? Can I go home? Please. Pretty please! With a cherry on top of Hugh Jackman at the beach?!

excellent! I got a massage scheduled for tonight, hopefully it will help what I suspect to be the beginning of carpal tunnel syndrome not get any worse. I think I bitched about it a couple weeks ago, the tingly feeling in my right (mousing) hand.

Ah shit, Nora. I'm sorry my guess probably turned out to be right.

It hasn't been diagnosed or anything, but it hasn't gone away. I reconfigured my office space which has helped and I ordered a trackball for mousing. Sigh.
There's like a whole department here dedicated to ergonomics and shit, so I'll probably bug them as well.
