~ma for Bonny and all yours.

and hooray for smonster, that's the happiest ending resulting from cat pee ever.

thanks for all the for the kind words. i think i'm feeling better today. the true test will be in an hour when i sit down for 4 consecutive hours of dispatch training on a slow night. while it probably won't be reaffirming, it at least won't be kicking my ass like saturday and sunday nights were.

eta the frosting was delicious (cream cheese that i had brought in for cupcakes already decimated) and i stocked up on more crappy chocolate today....but at least i know and expect it to be crappy mass produced vd candy.

erin, you're so capable of handling this. Sure, it's a new skill set, and a different environment than calling a show, but you could handle being a stage manager, so you can totally handle dispatching.

Can I really be the first person up and posting today?

That ain't right. I'm drinking these here glass a water and a-going back to bed for an hour.

I'm up and sorta here.

My boss is out, and she's usually the first one here at 7 or so. The rest of the team doesn't make it in until 8:30 or so. I thought I'd go ahead and come in in case people are expecting an answer on anything before 8 or so.

I'm here, but until now have had nothing to say. I still have very little to say, so I have brought along this NSFW edition of Wake Up With Fry and Laurie: [link] "Don't Be Dirty".

Here's my link contribution this morning [link]

Ow. My ankle hurts. Don't wanna do work today. But I've got to write at least two pages, send out one more application, and file my expenses from my SF trip. I think I'll stop at the deli and get a bagel on the way in.

Also, in WTF is up with my brain news: At least twice in the past week, I've had a dream that there was a Norwegian convenience store around the corner from me. Like, they sold all the usual convenience store stuff, snacks and single-serving drinks and stuff like that, but the Norwegian versions. I remember crackers and chocolate soy milk. I do not know why my subconscious has decided that this would be a good idea.

Thanks for the good thoughts, dear ones.

I went to be early and slept for 10 straight hours...I can't remember the last time that happened. It's a beautiful day. And the one thing Gordon would do if he was here, would be to walk in nature. So...that's my plan. (could do with an extra couple of degrees though)
