Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Posting from Dulles, where they are starting to board my flight.

Mea culpa e-mail is out. No response yet. I'm just ready to cry. It is only a $30k screw up and since I deal with multi-million dolalr projects, it is small in comparison. But it is making me feel horrible.

Because books.

Ugh, Suzi, that's hard. Hang in there.

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

Shit, man, I really want to go home. We've had the go/no go meeting, said go, tasks are starting, and there's no way I can focus on any other projects until Monday mid day at soonest. I'd love to max and relax inasmuch as it's clearly impossible (didn't fall asleep until nearly 1 last night, possibly also because I had to fall over in the afternoon because of headache).

But if my manager's not here to ask, it seems shifty. Where did she go?

That's nerve-wracking, Suzi. Good luck.

My eyes were dilated at my appointment at 10AM. And they're still not back in focus. I can't see for shit. ARGH.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I have to go pick up the kids, so OF COURSE the rain starts up NOW.

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

Rain (re-)started this morning as I walked from covered parking to buy breakfast and then to our building.

And then it rained again while I was walking to buy lunch. There was a guy sitting in the outside seating, though, having lunch and playing music on a little stereo. Weird.

Home! Jiggety jig. Also, jig.

Awww crap. I only sent my mea culpa to 2 of the 4 people who were pushing me for numbers earlier today. Blast. Now I have a more detailed message out to all of them. And I'm done for the day. If things explode from here...it is what it is.

meara - you reminded me I need an eye appt. And probably to get dialated. Blech. I hope your eyes get back to normal soon.

Sad about Kuma. It's hard with the old pets.
