Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Compassionately intolerant

flea, you are my hero.

Thank you so much.

I spent the last two hours entering in all sorts of parameters but just did not see this map!

So now. I can tell a prospective business partner that there is a pool of 2,200 potential clients within a certain radius.

Capital!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That note looks good, Kate. If she's given notice and everything, the school email would be OK, I guess. But I have definitely done Actual Work Business over Facebook, when it was confidential...

The weather forecast is bullshit -- I need to go out and would love to walk the mile to TJ's, but it's apparently been pouring all morning. And Weather Underground just says 60% of showers every hour, all day. I have no way to plan!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thanks, everyone!

An email went out to faculty last night announcing her resignation, so it seems pretty official. And I'm hoping to hear back from her by the end of the day, which makes me think the work email is the way to go, since I don't know if she's on FB much during the day.

OK, I sent her the email at her school address. Thanks for helping me out, you guys! What would I do without the hivemind?

I love the Buffista Hivemind. Also, Gud is The Master Punster.

I'm getting really nervous: There's a strong likelihood that I won't be employed (or even have an offer) when my contract runs out.

And this morning I had a meeting in which I was asked to go fetch My Nemesis because I'd sort of intentionally left her out of the loop. Whoops. Went okay, but I'm waiting to see if I get a snide comment from her on it.

Now I have to write up meeting notes, which is among my least favorite things. I always miss something.

You know what's awesome? Breathing!

Breathing does kick ass, it's true.

Oh, god, Sue, I was just coming to post that. Talk about allergies. Brutally honest.

Here's something more life-affirming: Lessons from a dog.
