Well, right now, it's still in my apartment, but a friend said that he wanted it and will probably pick it up on Friday.

Right on.

No, she's taking this friday off. Maybe pre-emptive. She's also a family caretaker and kind of... the woman is a planner.

I don't know how true it is elsewhere, but my workplace is great in that it's really agreeable to flex schedules for religious observances and family obligations. We know that during the winter, she's going to be gone by 3 on Friday so she can attend to errands before sunset. Another coworker has to leave at 4 because of kids' schedules. That's just what it is. It could be bad (expecting those of us without those obligations to make it up) but it doesn't work that way. If I wanted to work 10-6:30, it'd be fine. Me, as much as I'd like to sleep in, when the place gets dead after 5:30, I tend to not do much work, so I try for 9.

NYC Air Zoo. [link] Anyone ever seen these? They're great.

Why is wearing your jammies in public a fashion now?

Those are very cool. The air zoo, not the pajamas. Those are not cool.

I have never been set up on a date.

Also? I HAVE RECOVERED DATA!!!! am burning pictures to CD as I type.

Also? Also? people who are so inclined, some calm and patience energy to my abode would be appreciated. Mac is just about to explode with emotion at the drop of a hat, and we had night three of at least some tantrum and tears.

How many people have actually READ the book, and not just seen the movie.

I read it. And I liked the book. Thought the movie dragged interminably.

Wishing serenity to the msbelle household.

I'd heard about "Last Lecture" some time ago. Now I'm watching ABC's thing on it. I predict tears.
