Is it Dusmesh on Ludlow, Steph & flea? That would totally work for me, and sounds great. Shall we say 11:30 or so?

That's the place! And 11:30 works for me (and I assume Tim). Yay!

What the hell is wrong with people?

Everything.

I am having A Day.

Team flea is go for Dusmesh at 11:30.

Any lurkers in the tri-state area, feel free to turn up. The secret password is capybara.

I am having A Day.

I had one yesterday! Someone should outlaw them.

Dan Rather was just on the Rachel Maddow show. He must be getting up there, but he's still looking pretty healthy. It was nice to see him on the news again.

I just reimbursed myself from my HSA (I stupidly forgot the card for today's visit) and then organized all my previous expenditures on it as qualified expenses. Eventually, I'll upload the receipts. BUT GODDAMNED I WANT A GOLD STAR. I hate dealing with this shit.

I always associate Dan Rather with my dad. Both had similar hair throughout time and, as they got older, eye bags. And I'd always watch the evening news with my dad.

I did so much today I want a gold star, but I've been putting off FSA for a while, so no star for me.

This afternoon was an all IT scavenger hunt, and it did have an element of performance, but I volunteered as photographer so I only had to act on camera (as an animal of my choice in the restroom mirror) once.

The entire IT department went rogue for three hours and it was more like Hunger Games than Survivor. As well as all the things you had to "collect" by taking pictures (everyone on your team on a different floor of the building at once in the same picture), you could get extra points by taking undetected pictures of another team "collecting".

I don't think most of us realised that no prize was announced until the very end, because everyone went instantaneously beserk. Apparently our team committed a felony (and the Security Officer pointedly photographed it for future leverage) in pursuit of our items.

But we'll lose, since we don't have many spy photos. That'll tip the scales. And one page of items was in code, and we couldn't crack two of the codes.

I am sitting here with my brand new computer on my lap, useless, because I made a bonehead move that I can't even work out what it was....Jesus. I don't even want today, and I have to write and distribute a status report before the day is out.

You get the gold star first.

For ita_!

Wait, there were no prizes, or you didn't know what they were until the end?
