I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

K is going to Krav tomorrow, ita. She mentioned you and they, of course, knew you. She wants to know what she is supposed to wear?

Now tagless for your comfort.

It sucked, but it wasn't nearly as awful as I thought it would be! I may need to buy an iPod shuffle, though, because the dudes have the TV on an incredibly boring sports channel and that's just not going to work for me.

I HAVE to have my shuffle to do any sort of cardio. The Donnas, Yellowcard, Paramore. Running is soooooo boring. I can't do it for more than a half an hour unless I'm really revved up and focused on mileage.

Athletic pants and a T-shirt. She should bring a towel for mop-down during, and water to drink just in case. They'll lend her gloves.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am "working from home" today around a conference I'm speaking at and a webinar this afternoon. The thing is, I really need to work! I hope I can get some free/unsecured wifi to download my work email onto my work computer, so I can actually do it...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Good luck with speaking, Jesse.

My work nemesis and I have been getting along quite well lately, until this morning. I was asked to make a spreadsheet for some higher ups-- I used some of her information, but I came up with 90% of it independently, and the use of the spreadsheet is different (you can put in the number of students and it will tell you if it will break even). I sent the spreadsheet to the higher ups, included the fact that I used her salary spreadsheet,copied her in so she wouldn't be upset, and she now has told me I am taking credit for her work and that she would never do that and that she thinks so much less of me for doing this. I would blow it off, except she is BFF's with my boss, who totally does not understand spreadsheets and so can't tell for herself. She also saw me eating lunch yesterday with someone that they suspect of "being on the wrong team", and now I feel like people are suspicious of me because so many people left to work with the old, criminal boss.

Our wings are not tired.

Ugh, Sophia. I hate that kind of politics.

How did your computer survive the coffee? (I likely skipped past an update)

My IT person at work told me to let it dry for three days before turning it back on to give it the best chance-- I am pretty much resigned to it not working. The harddrive memory look fine, but the on/off switch got the most of the coffee.

Thank you for asking.

I also have so much work to do that I feel like my head is going to fly off, and that spreadheet seriously took 8 hours of time (we have 30 classes, each with individual expenses, instructor payment agreements, etc, and then I did a summary sheet that shows all the salaries and changes when you change the number of students on the individual sheets for each class).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm at home today.

The hold on my account for the $3000 has gone away. Yay Apple store!

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