Overheard in the office: a co-worker is testing a game, and from dead silence I hear, "Oh, that's a gnome."
Mass hilarity ensued.

update:
insurance paid for last night in the psych ward but would not pay for another night, so mac was discharged and we are now home. we have prescription, but can't get it until tomorrow.
my dad did not make it on to the first flight here, he may be here around 11, maybe tomorrow morning.
we are seeing a psych on SAT and his therapist is coming back to see him on TUES.
he's like calm and chill. I'm on edge and faking calm.

Yeah, I did, without flipping out too much, and she validated my aggravation, which was helpful.
I'm still annoyed but tempered by the fact that a) I was a productive mofo today and saved several people's butts, one of which b) was a 4:50 SOS call from our Australian team, so there was a point to me being there at that time. And c) am now on my way to drink heavily.

Our wings are not tired.
msbelle, you and mac are in my thoughts and prayers. As many calm and chill vibes as I can muster are headed your way.
