I do love the "word" percipients. It reminds me of Parsippany, NJ.

I also think I am less red now that I have peeled some. You know how you sometimes don't know how bad you feel until you feel a bit better-- I think I am feeling better today. The water is really helping. My boss is a pediatric nurse and worked with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome patients, and reminded me that it takes a lot of water to basically make new skin for my body.

I am also sort of weirded out by how only strange health things happen to me. This rash peeling thing also happened 2 years ago, and then a very similar thing involving just my face happened twice when I was in my twenties. I was also mauled by a cat. I also spent a year and a half in my twenties with a pain in my side that no one could find an answer for (now I think it might have been a precursor to my hip). And twice (also in my twenties) I have had lymph nodes in my armpit and groin balloon up and then deflate, again, for no real reason.

Other than that, I think I have only been to the doctor for depression, 2 ear infections, and one bronchitis since 1995.

Speaking of incredible photographs: [link]

some management tactic to me--it involved quadrants of motivation and ability, and indicated what techniques you use when you're dealing with someone that was, say, highly motivated but low on capability, or both highly capable and highly motivated, etc.

I can share some examples if anyone is interested.

I think that would be interesting, Brenda.

She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world.

They really are fantastic.

Me too, brenda.

Oh, OKAY. Because...Jesus...those things are better than some fashion magazines. Certainly more inventive, but definitely high quality.

Um, HELL YES. You can see them all at her website - [link] (caution, music autoplay). I'm trying to pick a new desktop background picture. Sorry, Avengers post-credit scene 2 - make way.

Are you sure the person had spellcheck on?

I'm not sure this person knows what spellcheck is.

Happy Friday everybody!

I've reached the stage of ongoing insomnia where everything is slightly distant and unreal. It's not unlike being mildly drunk.

Ugh, I hate that feeling. That was my yesterday.

I need to make breakfast soon, before the kids hit hangry.

Okay, here's the deal. I'm actually a bitch. And we haven't bonded. So I'm not interested in "I am having a bit of trouble getting motivated this morning :)" emails. I am interested in you replying to anything I sent you yesterday, especially considering your theoretical two hour lead, what with being in the middle of the country and stuff. If we're not tight enough to be frank with each other, we're not smiling textually at each other either. I don't want "a new perspective on who [you are]". I want project plan updates.

Grrr.

I like this xkcd: xkcd: Seventies

But I don't get why the mouseover text is in a lisp....
