I'm sorry Theo. I hope you find something.

I'm so happy for the news on your Mom, Scrappy.

I thought I had set a Season Pass for Call the Midwife, but it didn't record. harumph.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit. I have not read personal email today. Not even once.

I can't remember ever being so busy that I didn't at least *realise* I hadn't read email.

Oh man. Oh man. I'm so glad I don't go that way anymore.

It's even worse than I thought it would be. I wanted to run an errand in River North after work and didn't want to double back to Wacker to catch the 136, and there was a Cubs game so I wanted to avoid the Red Line. I took one of the express buses that normally run up Michigan Ave to LSD.

Chicagoistas, DO NOT DO THIS. Learn from my mistake. It will add at least an hour to your trip.

Oh, hey--I could go home. I've met almost all the requirements for my noon deadline tomorrow. Now for all the other deadlines this week...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

my 6.3 mile drive home took me 53 minutes tonight, because of traffic.

I was in such a bad mood when I walked in the house that even Bubba had the sense to leave me alone for a bit.

They are closing down a large chunk of the local freeway here for 5 hours Wednesday afternoon/evening due to the Presidential Debate. It is being held at Denver University, which is right next to the freeway.

Our office has already sent out an e-mail reminding people and suggesting folks who travel that route to work from home or expect a super long commute taking the detours.

I have a meeting I have to go to during the debate, but luckily it is in the opposite direction.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That sucks, msbelle!

I had a work thing backfire on me- they wanted an Admin representative on the online task force and I was the natural choice. I declined because I KNEW the AA would get stuck taking minutes (which I hate) and scheduling (which I hate). So now there is a different Admin rep, and I just got asked to attend to take minutes and do scheduling, so she can participate!

I spent 4 hours on a project today only to discover that I was using some flawed logic. My own fault but I need some input from the PM to apply the correct logic and he hasn't responded to my message. I was hoping to get some of the rework done tonight but it looks like that isn't happening.

Instead, I'm watching the A's. Hoping they get their post-season clinch tonight. GO A's!!!!!

Am back from an emotionally exhausting, but at the same time encouraging, 3 hours of The Stoop [link] Between the heartbreaking story of the scars left and fairly recent coming to terms with said scars from 11 years of Scientology starting at 3 from a guy I know, P (4 cocktail napkins for 7 minutes of story, 6 if you count the ones I handed to K, who is his good friend who was just bawling and had to be hugged throughout- he's not spoken of this much,) to a former freedom rider's faith path, to the 3 audience volunteers who just had the audience in their hands, it just...guh. They closed out the first half with P's story, and the hostess just walked to the mike and said, "OK, now we all need a drink. Go." Yeah.

K stayed to see if P needed her to go home with him, since his wife is out of town. He's an improv performer known for keeping his cool, and he did lose it on stage a couple of times. Sobs. It was hard to watch, but you also knew you were seeing recovery and freedom. That was probably at least half the napkins.

It was good. And now I will fall down.
