Morning everyone!
I had to get up at 4:45. Then I left at 5:00 so I could get to work at 6:00. (I have to be here early 'cuz my boss is in London setting up software and he might need my help.)
It's dark out! It was dark out when I got up, and I've been at work for 20 minutes and it's still dark!
At the moment, in my sleep-befuddled state, I'm merely grateful to not have had such a bad night as the one previous. Also I had a dream in which there was spy intrigue, and I had to be smuggled inside of Jilli's laptop (?!) except that it was confiscated by the authorities on the order of Dick Cheney. Then there was lots of intrigue, and then the aliens, of course, attacked.
tommyrot, I'm sorry you had to get up so early. I hope you got a lot of coffee as comfort.
Theodosia - awesome dream! So much better than mine.
I arrived at work this morning to discover that sometime between Friday and Monday, someone messed up my Slinky. Fortunately, it's a plastic Slinky, and those are much easier to untangle than the metal ones, but seriously, if you play with my Slinky and then mess it up, maybe you could not leave it on my desk looking sad and tangled.
Um....gronk. (tries to crawl back in bed. realizes bed is now several miles away. cries.)
so Sat I threw a frisbee for an hour. I is sore. sad old body (not that I think I am old, but my body is).
In better news I got a seat on the commute in and I knitted with listening to podcasts - AWESOME commute.
I just saw the Popemobile.
I wonder if I could use it to get to work on the 16th? Campus says we are not allowed to drive to work that day, but the Dean* says we have to work (just the law school, the rest of the campus has a holiday due to the Pope's visit on the 17th). I have yet to figure out how to get the puppy to her daycare and me to work that day without turning my commute into a 2 hour ordeal each way.
IOW, Monday has already put me in a bad mood.
sounds like the perfect personal day.
Wow, Sparky, that sucks. When that happens at my uni (not the pope, but other things which require parking) at least they have a shuttle from some far away parking land.
sounds like the perfect personal day.
Too many people are already on the calendar to be off that week, so I can't. (We all have use-it-or-lose-it vacation days to get in before May 1, so scheduling days off right now is a bear.)
I can't really believe that the faculty and students are going to make great efforts to show up that day if they can find a way to cancel classes -- people trying to get kids to day care, etc., what the heck are they supposed to do?
