The idea that Mac is recognising someone else's priority/reward structure and working towards that instead is so remarkably cool.

A little less remarkable but cool nonetheless--my manager has told me to go home, and I think I'm about ready to do that, considering how long it's taking me to type this.

The staffer E just called, and said that Mom's sitting next to the door with her bags packed.

People should start asking her if she's unpacked yet.

A bit of haldol all around, Consuela? I'm sorry. It'll be bad for her for a while. And then it will be less bad.

Congratulations to mac and msbelle! What wonderful news!

I hope your mother adjusts sooner rather than later, Consuela.

Sunday is cookie baking day at Casa de Suzi. I'm trying to work up my cookie line up so I can make sure I have the right ingredients. Ginger cookies are definitely on the list. I'm thinking some basic chocolate chip topped with red and green mini-M&Ms. Or maybe peanut butter cookies with the mini M&Ms.

I'd love to find a good, softish, cookie cutter recipe. The last couple of shortbread cookies I've tried have been too crisp and not very tasty.

Any suggestions? Recipies?

Hey, since we have official Onerous Tasks days, shouldn't we have Official Goof Off Days, to balance it out?

Good idea!

Also, how about Official Inebriation Days too?

I think we need Juliana for that one.

And Nora, for the beer drinkers!
