blergh. Well, at least I am having cocktails tonight with Jesse, Frank, and EllenS. Though I don't know how social I feel. I will likely be 20% unsociable, and Jesse will have to have a talking-to with me about it next week.
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I keep seeing people out on the street all bundled up ... except they're wearing flip-flops. WTF?
The kids at my school last year used to wear flip flops all year long. If it was cold, they'd wear SOCKS with their flip flops. Which is all kinds of wrong.
Booze can't hurt.
Speaking of which, I had a drink at a local place last week; they called it an Italian Ginger - prosecco, ginger liqueur and lemon. Very nice ... went down easy.
You have to expect a certain amount of meteorological dissonance when celebrating a Middle Eastern religion that co-opted European solstice observances in order to be more appealing to the locals.
Until those European practices meet Middle Eastern people coming the other way (and complaining about Victorian poetical inaccuracies that never made any sense).

In fact, booze may be the only thing that helps, in that circumstance.

I adore you both. That is all.
Training went well - I was observing/acting as backup for an intern. I love doing trainings and presentations but damn, they are tiring. ::staples hand to forehead:: Thankfully, I can go home now.
Oh and I meant to say, I'm so sorry, Nora. I hope you find something better, and soon. I don't suppose your boss gets a 360 review?

Pedicures?
No. Definitely not.
Nora, best of luck and ~ma for that coming job interview.
Erm, with all the talk of wisdom teeth extraction here, apparently it's contagious. My dentist decided it is time for me to say goodbye to mine. Simple extractions. So, as I was somewhat in denial during previous conversations, knowing that I'm about 20 years past the intent of the dentist who saw them cut gum saying, "Well, they're ok for now but eventually they will have to come out," is it completely untenable for me to think I can be back to work the next day? I've made my appointment for next Wednesday, which I have off. I do have to work Thursday and Friday, but most of the residents will be with their families for the weekend, so I anticipate a very easy couple of days.
