did you not see the "hell no" response option?

That meeting better have cocktails!

msbelle, sorry today is hard. calming thoughts for you.

We always started school after Labor Day and went to June, including undergrad college. My b'day at the end of August always marked the last big fun Summer thing for me. The first time I had work on my birthday was a real shock to my system.

Am trying to be grateful for what I've got (which is A LOT, I'm very lucky) but I'm having a hard time not resenting boyfriend's job for bringing him back to the midwest for another almost full week next week after he was just there for whole full week. It's a great job and they've been very accommodating and I really shouldn't complain but WAH!

Aaand we're back in business:

Hopefully this will make someone say, "OK, Hubble isn't ready to be written off yet, let's keep maintaining the thing." Or Branson can buy it and use Virgin Space to take care of it.

I just accepted to a 6:30pm meeting tonight.

And don't you often go to work at ass o'clock in the morning, too??

Tea-wise, I really like the Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer, which is spicy and delicious. It apparently has Eleuthero, peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, West Indian lemongrass, licorice, catnip, tilia flowers, natural lemon flavor.

Not today, though. The meeting is so late because colleagues in Japan will be on it.

We always started mid-August when I was growing up. And, now is no different. We're in week 4 already. But, our last day of school is June 4, so that's okay, too.

msbelle, all kinds of ~ma to you and Mac today.

Allyson, yay!!! on finishing your book! Go, you!

last sun we saw some of Ferraro/Simon then some of S.William/? on the big screen, then Nadal/Almagro, then some of V.William/Clisters. Mon we saw some of a men's double that I only remember countries of Aut/Aut vs. Cze/Ind, then Oudin/Petrova, then some of Federer/Abredo.

I am totally jealous. Best of luck with work calm today and mac at school.

If we had cable/satellite, I would totally watch 90210. Some things are just like crack to me, and that's one of them

But this is the new version! It's so bad.

Congrats, Allyson!

Isn't that a 12 hour difference? You are SO getting the better deal.

These are awesome!

Would it suck to have the name Dick Hardstaff?
