Every day you don't bleed to death is a win!

I handled a conference call on a subject I know very little about ON MY OWN! New boss is working at home and she didn't dial in for some reason. Fortunately, other people were very nice and I can still use the "I'm very new on this project and have not mastered your terminology" line frequently.

Every day you don't bleed to death is a win!

So weird, because S. just ran past me toward the bathroom with blood dripping from his nose.

That'll wake you up.

Twitter revealed to Birgitta Jónsdóttir, a member of Iceland's parliament, that the feds were seeking all of her Twitter communications. Facebook did not,

The difference is that Twitter challenged a gag order meant to prevent that notification. Google & other companies have notified members when they were subpoenaed, but AFAIK gag orders weren't involved in those instances. Wikileaks called for Google & Facebook to say whether they were subpoenaed as well, and I don't think there's been any response, which is... troubling.

Holy crap. Yesterday, pizza and cheesecake. Today, the rest of the cheesecake and a free bottle of cognac.

You guys can tell me; I promise I won't flip out. I've died and gone to heaven or slipped into a multiverse or something, haven't I?

What's everybody doing for their Onerous Task today?

I called the doctor for a third time to try to get an appointment, and for the third time was unable to make an appointment -- their office is closed all day today, due to last night's snow. Augh. Just write me a frelling prescription already!

ZJ, go to the light! Or stay away from the light! I'm not sure which!

Today, the rest of the cheesecake and a free bottle of cognac.

JZ's onerous task for today: drink that cognac!
