I just turned my head too fast and pinched something awful in my neck/shoulder. OW.
It's sort of unfortunate -- taking my kids to work would mean letting them watch me copyedit or write in my jammies. Whoo hoo.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Bring your son or daughter to work day kind of annoys me-- because it seems like it was started so that girls had images of their mothers' working.
Yeah, they've completely lost the point.

Since I have been working from home more often than not, CJ tried to convince me that letting him stay home today would count as "take your kid to work". Ummmm, sorry Charlie.
Plus I did go to the office today. Which I am regretting big time. My headache does not appreciate the florescent lighting nor the big barometric change. Working from home would have eliminated one of those.

Punishingly Intricate
b) there are all sorts of activities so that no one is really seeing anyone working!
I dunno. My boss' kid just watched us have our boring meeting. She was wearing headphones most of the time though. He did introduce me and tried to explain what it is I do.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There were some articles last year about a woman whose kids went to a school that allowed Take Your Child To Work Day as an excused absence. She was a stay-at-home mom and wanted to keep her kids home to show them the stuff she does during the day, and the school wouldn't allow it, because they said that isn't a real job.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's good to know that my boss is more reasonable than I am. He told me to get off the 8 o'clock con call and get my tire taken care of. Hopefully I can make it into the office for the 10 o'clock the 8-12 was coinciding with, then, and do that instead. Today's a little busy.
Hurry up, tow truck!
Hmm. I should work out where it's towing me to. And I *really* should have had a spare, since the Jetta has room for a full-sized spare, and all. I just never replaced the last one. Bad car owner. I was just broke at the time, and then completely spaced.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Augh, I just did something that tweaked how Outlook displays my messages, and now I can't get it back.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sophia, I'm dealing with that on my own Facebook page as well. I'm totally irrate.
ita, I'm sorry about the flat. That seriously sucks.

I loved your response to it, Cash.
