Good luck Jesse.
Ack, one of my co-workers is out sick today and emailed my boss that I would have to do training in her place tomorrow. Training gives me panic attacks. Also, I am thrown into a tizzy of trying to make arrangements for this training when I don't know any of the details...like how many people I am supposed to be preparing for.
I woke up with an incipient headache this morning, and almost stayed home...I'm kind of wishing I had because I suspect if there was noone here today and my boss had to do all the setting up and arranging by himself, the training would get cancelled.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
No Tinos today, please! In an hour I talk to the internal medicine specialist to (hopefully) find out if Leo the Cat really does have pancreatitis. I hope I'll be able to bring him home, but he also has a UTI, so I don't know how long they'll want to keep him. I'm worried.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Jet Blue is having a $10 fare sale today. One of the librarians here just booked a flight to Long Beach. I cannot find any flights for me, boo!

Poor Leo!
I'm not really looking forward to this week. I have a ton of stuff to do. Which is NO. GOOD.

Compassionately intolerant
it isn't obsessed over in wider culture the way Mother's Day is.
As a former florist, I can tell you exactly why this is...Biggest day of the year, baybee! Followed closely by VDday.
If some marketing company were to champion something other than ties for Father's Day...something people can be convinced men all men should be interested in...it would be just as big.
Sadly, it seems that 'loving' your dad is not as guilt inducing as moms. Wonder why that is.
Ugh. That came off more cynical than I intended. I know there are lots of people who love the idea of giving their moms flowers on Mothers Day.

Sometimes I wish I lived in Japan....
Oddity Central reports that the Sensoji Temple in Tokyo, Japan, has held an annual festival for the past four hundred years that encourages babies to cry in order to improve their health:
Amateur sumo wrestlers hold the babies high in the air, and try to scare them into crying, while a sumo referee judges the match. The toddler who cries longest and loudest is considered the winner.
Japanese parents bring the babies to the contest, of their own free will, and truly believe the sumo induced crying keeps their children in good health, and wards off evil spirits. This year, 80 babies, all under one year old, participated in Naki Sumo. As you might have guessed, the whiniest contender won.
