*Shoos the ducks off sj's spoons. Get off, ducks!*
Stephy, giving your dad a job sounds like a good idea. (The Girl's dad refused to do anything, during the whole of the planning process, and then we got to the day and he was suddenly all "Do you need help cutting the cake?" So he's in our cake-cutting photos, demonstrating where he thinks is a wise place to cut it. Funniest thing ever.)
Morning/afternoon, all. I am drowning in paperwork. Back to university now-ish, in the sense of working again (I am no longer allowed a desk there, so I'm not physically back).
Was diagnosed with Aspgerger's this week. Still getting over the 'Took you 35 years??' grumpies. The diagnostic process took about six months (which I'm told is quite fast really), and the psychiatrist was the nicest MH specialist I have *ever* met. So that could have been worse.
The Asperger's diagnosis is going away in the US -- they're using autism spectrum disorder instead.
Weird ducks, leave the spoons alone.
And why do I feel as though many of us need scare-ducks? What would that even look like? And can I found a shop on Etsy to sell them?
Seska! It's good to see you here. I'm sorry things are still difficult for you, but yay for a proper diagnosis. I hope it helps.
I have managed to exercise, eat lunch (last night's leftover Mexican food), and do a second load of laundry (even finding my laundry basket) all without any major disasters! Now, I am out of useable woolite, so if I want to do laundry I have to put on outside clothes and actually deal with people.
Tea: WS, what are scare-ducks?
They are like scare-crows, only for nasty, nibbly ducks.

Brilliant!
My friend just blew me off for tonight (after calling yesterday to make these plans). She's sick, which would be fine, except this happens more often than not when we make plans. Time to rethink dinner. My plan was to leave TCG with leftovers and grab something for myself while I was out, but there aren't enough leftovers for the two of us.
Bah. OB/GYN is stumped; says it could be an ovarian cyst, but I need an ultrasound to see what's going on. So I have that Thursday morning.
What's the cutoff $ amount that we're willing to pay to change an aesthetic issue on a page at blueline stage?
ZERO. Too late, muthafukahs! BWAHAHAHA
You can tell what kind of day I'm having.
Can we make just one more change? Can we add an author to the byline after review? Can we change this figure to color? Oh, we forgot to acknowledge financial support, we MUST include that! Can we make just one more change? We know the paper has been published online but can we make just one more change before print? Thanks so much for your patience! Can we make JUST ONE MORE CHANGE?
Today I'm telling my boss that once the April and June issues of this mad evil journal are done, I'm taking a week's vacation for my mental health. (Shouldn't the April issue be done, here it is being the end of April? WHY YES.)
Where is the vodka.
