Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

JZ, I agree with what meara said. On the one hand, BGH knows things said are getting back to you. On the other hand, you're confronting the situation without being confrontational. Wise meara.

I third this.

Happy Birthday, Sean!

I'll have to try the potassium thing. Maybe I should have a tiny handful of cashews or pretzels or something to satisfy my tastebuds' need for salt and crunch, and then eat a banana? Because y'all should see the face I'm making at the thought of drinking a V8...

(see! See! I have to resort to emoticons because my words are broken! Although that could be the only 4 hours' sleep issue...)

Fay is me. (I can't decide between a :-( and a :-) to follow that statement. :-( because tired and broken words. :-) because who wouldn't want to be Fay? I'm going to stop now before I use up my lifetime emoticon quota.)

In meme news, despite being on a pill that eliminates periods altogether, my body has decided that it is HAVING A PERIOD. Whether I want it or not. I'm giving up and going off the pill for a week. Fighting it seems to just be making the symptoms worse.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Kristin, this is why I can't be on those kinds of pills. Apparently, my body has a deep desire to host the running of the Communists every month.

Ginger, I didn't read your whitefont, but I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Huzzah for diets succeeding! Always a satisfying thing.

Frustrating. I can't complain too much, though. I'm usually good for at least 3-4 months before this happens. Blech, though. I hate this cramps shit. What's up with that?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

JZ, you need to find some emails to send first thing in the morning, with the time stamp, that the BGH will see. You might have to save one from the day before and resist the urge to get everything done before you go home, but if that's the time BGH is paying attention to, you can play the game.

I agree with this. The Obviously Timed E-mail ploy is bullshit, but if it's what BGH wants, then do it.

seconding Teppy. This is good practice too if you work from home. "See? I'm here! Pushing (your) Buttons."

Oh CRAP! I was so excited that I didn't have to be at work until 11 tomorrow since the exam I'm giving isn't until 1:30. I just realized that I have a meeting. At 7:40. t cries and cries

Totally. Send an email, stop by and pop your head in his office for something stupid once in a while, make sure your purse or something is sitting out on your desk in the am if you have to get up for something. Such stupid shit, but sometimes you gotta do it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm feeling much more human-like now that the drains are out, the bandages are off, and I've finally taken a shower. Now to decide whether I want a coffee treat or if I want a nap. Hmmm.

Yay! I'm glad you're feeling better, Nicole.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Apparently, my body has a deep desire to host the running of the Communists every month.

I'm hosting it right now! AI... I need a beer.
