tiggy, Yahoo mail is working fine for me.
I would be there right now.

ION, is it 1/20/09 yet?
Dubya, in a videoconference with troops in Afghanistan: “It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You’re really making history, and thanks,” Bush said.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cable down. Internet down. Migraine. Home sick on incredibly busy work day. Like, HUGE. Noisy children in courtyard. Stealing bandwidth on very flakey connection.
I'm surly and grinchy so I don't have the love for noise in the shared areas of the complex, no matter how old or young the people are. At least there will be pizza.
Hey...internet came back! Muted whoopee! More intermittent reading of lighting blogs.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
In other news, my new medication seems to be doing the trick with keeping my heart beating correctly so I'm feeling good about that.
That's good to hear, Gud.
The Amazon sale is tempting me to buy the SG-1 complete series boxed set. Tell me why I shouldn't.
I kind of want to try the glo pillow.

Ooh, that's a tough one, Susan. I mean, not so much worry about protecting your job (I doubt anything you say will make them think "You know, we REALLY don't need an administrator..." or even "Wow, that Susan is really the problem") but you also don't want it to inadvertently come back to you and sound really bad...

Yeah, that's the concern. There are only 5 of us on the leadership team, so it's not like it's difficult to figure out where an opinion is coming from. OTOH, I do have lots of opinions on the interpersonal dynamics I've been observing the past few months, and that's what the consultant is for, to help us sort all this out...
ION, I have officially canceled my Saturday commitments. DH is taking AB to the brunch, and I'll just try the next meeting of the writers group.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
When someone was let go at my last job - and she sued, I was pretty honest. Careful - not to place all the blame in one area - but honest. As in I felt the administration had created a problem by incompletely addressing an issue,however the employee did not address the issue and seemed to very unhappy with all aspects of work. Turns out- everyone said pretty much the same thing -and management/ administration actually changed for the better. not perfect but things went from difficult to tolerable.

Aurelia, you don't need the SG-1 series box set if you have Netflix.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
oh ita, that sounds like a bad day.
I feel like I should be doing more, but I have no desire to do it.
