Just like there are no cats in America, I'm confident there are no roaches in Colorado.
Heh-- that was one of the funniest thing about a pair of Florida kids moving to Cleveland-- Lewis and I were mystified by the tiny things that people called roaches and when the weather guy declared it a "very high humidity day" and followed it with "fifty-nine percent," we about fell off the sofa laughing.
Of course, our NE Ohio friends got to laugh right back at us that winter when, on the first night the temperatures were scheduled to dip really low, we called to ask if we needed to leave the faucets dripping and they couldn't figure out why. When we explained, they laughed their asses off-- hey, how were we supposed to know that in the northern part of the country they bury the pipes below the frost line? In Florida, you dig that deep and you wind up with a swamp.

Am very tired. My one cat has gotten into the bad habit of waking me up at 5 in the morning. Just to hang out. Plus I was up late getting ready to go to Chicago tonight so I can pick up my boyfriend and bring him back home to live in MY HOUSE! Whoa.
Wheee!
I can't sleep for shit any more, and it's really a problem.
Also, my boss is determined to "fix" our department meetings, and it's going to be the death of me. Do we need to be engaged? I think we just need to be updated. Also, yelling at people doesn't make them want to participate more.
I'm supposed to be writing a digital video guide for a sales team training session next week. Don't wanna. Need motivation.
I was in about 8:15 this morning. Have I gotten a bunch done? nsm, but 2 things are off my desk, so that is something.
Now must track down an invoice that I have no recollection of and the vendor has called twice.
Happy Dark Phoenix Day!
I'm so dead tired. And need to finish a paper. Oh, and I kindda get the feeling now that university classes are getting in the way of my actual studies.
Oh, and I keep typing "Robot" instead of "Robert" (as in "Maitre Robert de Sorbon").
Which is even more impressive, given the language difference, in Hebrew.
I am tired as hell, so I drank some coffee. But I have a sore throat, and the coffee made it worse. Sucking on hard candy helps, so my boss gave me some Atomic Fireballs.
Feel better, tommyrot. Can you get yourself some tea with honey?
That's a good idea. I'll have to run to the supermarket when I get a chance.
Consultants are here, hooking up our new computers. So I gotta work now while I have the chance.
