I'm a terrible wife. I couldn't help but be somewhat relieved that I don't have to pick him up at midnight in Fort Lauderdale but instead pick him up in West Palm at a more reasonable 10am.

I'll tell him to wave in your direction when he gets there. He hasn't left for Atlanta yet.

Well, at least he is safe. And no, it is not terrible to value and enjoy a decent night's sleep.

Avoiding lay-off~ma to you, billytea.

~ma for Suzi.

I just realized that today was Wednesday, I have to go back to work tomorrow, and I never made it to the bank today.

I hope you are spared both from a layoff and from having to work twice as hard to make up for the people laid off, BT.

Yeah, that would be good. Especially just at the moment, not a good time to be looking for another job in the financial services industry. We're in pretty good shape financially, but we have this new mortgage and a baby on the way.

On the plus side, maybe they'll lay off my boss. His lack of socialisation has not gone unnoticed by the higher-ups.

Hil, what meds were they giving you? When they give me compazine or dilaudid without benadryl I tend to anxiety attacks and feel a huge urge to rip out the needle and run for the hills.

While at the BBQ joint, saw a gal wearing some spring loaded shoes. Talked to her a bit, and she LOVED them. Has anyone heard/use Z-coil footwear? [link]

Omnis, my hairdresser wears those and he RAVES about them!

I think those shoes are beyond hideous, but one of the cool nurses (god, all I talk about is the ER--it's like the new krav) wears them, and I figure nurses are a good recommendation for practical and comfy footwear.

Oh weird--I just clicked to the ZCoil website--I'd seen the gymshoe ones, but not the semi-high-heel ones! Strange...

Definitely no-layoff-ma to Billytea! That would be bad timing indeed. I talked to my boss this morning, and fingers crossed, it sounds like maybe (please god maybe?) this time I might squeak through with keeping a job for a while. I hope. Please. It's looking positive. So here's hoping that means good things for EVERYONE, and NOT that I've stolen the -ma from others.

I just got a haircut! Hec would approve--there is definite nape. In fact, the girl will probably not approve, as there is not enough hair to grab, in the back, for several inches up. I think it probably looks good, though I'm a bit worried that on one side, it is not angled enough. Hard to say if that's the case, or if it's just not curling right because of all the combing and cutting and so on. Liked the new hairstylist though. But OUCH, the price! More than I've ever paid for a haircut, I'm pretty sure--with tip included, it hit triple digits.

And then I went to Sephora, and apparently decided that since I'd already spent a ton of money making me feel pretty, why not spend more? Um.
