I also vote "take the day off." For me, it's not been particularly painful the day after; I've just been exhausted and achy. Also, staying home where you know you've got soft food and teabags to bite on and where you're not likely to have to deal with an emergency is just safer. It is a form of surgery, after all.

[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 agree a nice social drink is in order.
Great! Uh, I had 4.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That doesn't sound good.
Just some tanned, silver-blond woman driving an enormous SUV calling her child (Well, ok, short person in the back seat I couldn't see clearly through the tinted window so I am making an assumption) a fucking asshole. I memorized her license plate, and reported it to social services. I doubt anything will be done, but hey, if she thinks it is ok to talk like that to a child at a gas station, one can only imagine what gets said in private. Maybe, just maybe, having it on record will make a difference to that kid, some day. If they even pursue it enough to follow up on the license plate.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
omnis, should we send in the clowns, or the clowns with the flaming chainsaws?The clowns are already here. Like Stephen King types of clowns. Driving me mad in various ways. Today is particularly crazy with the holiday. Had to get (2) Purchase order/Check Request thingies (they are in transition, still call them PO's, but they are basically Check Requests) in before end of day, as it seems they only cut checks on Wednesday. And nobody was giving me an invoice. I swear. How many times can I say "we want to pay you, but I need an invoice". and they want to be paid before the holiday, and I say, "then I need the invoice now!". Ugg. Now I have to try an schedule a fed ex pick up in ny for a heavy keyboard.

Looked at a Nook in B&N. Liked the form and the weight and the screen. Hated the feel. It felt sluggish and cheap and buggy.

I was supposed to meet with my advisor today. He told me to email him to remind him. I emailed. He still wasn't there.

Hil, I wish you got a dollar for every time your adviser did that to you. Soon, you will be done with him!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hil, I commend you on your restraint in not beating this guy to death with a four-ring binder.

My apartment is a ridiculous mess. Like, I don't think there's anywhere that I can take more than two steps without having to step over something. I think I'm going to need to take either tomorrow or Friday to stay home and clean.

Can I give my cat some Benadryl? I think he's being bothered by allergies. I mentioned it to the vet last visit, and he said he'd rather not medicate if it wasn't too bad, but I feel bad for the little guy. He's been unusually quiet tonight, and he keeps, like, starting and then licking himself frantically, just as if he got bitten by something, but there are no bugs on the cat or in the house. He did get outside briefly a couple days ago; maybe he's just allergic to something out in the wild outdoors.
Anyway, yeah. Benadryl for cats, yes/no?
