The Mayor isn't even in Oakland today.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Ugh. I'm still awake, still working on my presentation for tonight's class, and it's 3:15 in the morning. All I have left to do is my sources page, but that'll be another hour and I had to take a break after three hours of working on PowerPoint slides. At least now I know how to insert YouTube videos into it!
I will say that it's a pretty cool presentation. I just have to make sure I stay on track and keep it to 15 minutes. (It's about Shakers--really interesting group! There are still three members living in Maine.)

Ugh, Kat, good luck with everything.
Yay for Pumpkin!
Sorry about the sciatica, Stephanie.
I totally read that as beer instead of bear. My brain was providing commentary like "Oh, beer behind the building. That's not so bad. But why do they want people to park elsewhere? Are they afraid people will stop and get drunk on the way into work? If that's the case, perhaps they shouldn't chill beer behind the building. Allyson works at a very odd place."
Now I want someone to chill some beer behind my building.
smonster, I hope you didn't stay up all night watching FNL. Not that I haven't done that or anything.

So why did anyone involved think that tear gas was an appropriate use of force?

It's 4:30 and I'm done! Now, do I go to sleep for 2 1/2 hours, or just push through until it's time to go to work?

You're right. I only got about 3 1/2 hours last night.

You can do other things with your gourd-of-the-month club membership. You can do etching, bas reliefs, painting and wood burning. Why stop with just carving?

Well, I got more sleep than planned, but that meant I had to come back to the house to finish getting ready for work. Which I'll still be at early.
Parents are off, it was an awesome visit. I kept them and me busy, which I think is key to me not getting irritated. Also discovered that having people over when they are visiting is an utter balm for me & makes me able to enjoy them more. I always figured it would be more exhausting (more people=more exhausting,) but I think it allows me to offload the need to entertain them, which means I get more pieces of me to put in reserve. I know, they are my parents and they'd have been perfectly content to sit around my house and read all week, but I cannot help but need to keep them engaged. And engaging 2 people 15+ hours a day, no matter who they are, probably moreso parents, leaves me fried.
OK, time to go to work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah. I'm glad my parents don't always want to engage... Sounds like a good visit, though!
It is a lot of annoying when my employer makes it impossible for me to actually get my daughter to school so I can get to own my job.
Seriously! Sheesh.
I woke up at 5:30, and should have just gotten up, because instead I went back to sleep and dreamed about working with some bonus apartment-hunting thrown in. I'm exhausted from it!
