Before the start of the work week in India, I have to set up a number of test situations for our offshore quality assurance guy. During the prepping today for our onshore performance testing guy, I came across some error messages that made me feel anxious about this project for the first time since it started. At midnight, one set of changes I need to test are being run. At 5AM, another set.

::sigh::

Don't wanna! But manager wants more realistic hours for projects? Okay, then, you can have my 10, 11 hour work days. Grump.

The builder (weird term) of reddit apparently killed himself.

GO CASS!

So about 4 minutes ago, there was a LOT of yelling in the 'hood. I'm guessing something happened with the Ravens game.

Ah, yes, they just tied it up in the 4th.

Marketed, shopped, cleaned, swam, cleaned more. Time for some quality radio show.

Yeah, Allyson had a thoughtful post about that. I will post over there, but let me take this moment to encourage people to take the suicide prevention first aid course that ASIST offers. It's intense, but realistic, practical training for people who want to be able to intervene. And it's best if it's in person, and I'm no expert, but I would just like to say that if anyone is ever contemplating suicide that I have been through the training and you should feel free to contact me. I don't have any magic answers but I'm not afraid to talk about it, so please don't hesitate.

I've also never seen "wheat" bagels, but I suppose it's not awful.

I've had whole wheat bagels and yes, they are. (And if "wheat" doesn't mean whole wheat...what are the other bagels made of?)

New post for separation from that and to be whiny...I had to drive all over town today to get my flu shot. First I tried Walgreens, then CVS, then the hospital, then I finally got smart and started calling. Wal art didn't have it, either. But Safeway did. So now my shoulder is achy. But hopefully I am building immunity Right Now AIFG.

Then I grocered, libraried, hung out with my friend, came home and totally crashed. So much for my productive Saturday. I still totally could sleep right now.

That sounds pretty productive, Liese!

I am like Burrell. I think the one true bagel is sesame.

I am taking Grace to a Girl Scout Pajama Party tonight and then bringing her home at 9:30 (along with all of the other 5 year olds in my troop). There are going to be over 100 girls there. Someone, please save me.

Javachick and DCistas, I'm flying into DC on Thursday and will be swamped. I am, however, available, all day Sunday until about 4:00 PM and would love to see people.

My favorite bagel is pumpernickel. With some sort of savory cream cheese.

Also. I am going to LAX to pick up my niece from her 7:50 AM flight and then to drive her to Anaheim. It'll be nice to see her even with long drive.
