So I heard back about the x ray my left knee is unremarkable.No fluid, fractures, etc. But it still hurts so rest, etc and physical therapy.

I only talked to a nurse (my doctor doens't work Fridays) and she kinda said something that made me feel like it shouldn't be hurting but that's probably my anxiety about medical stuff not being believed making wild conjecture than anything else.

Word on the Weather Channel Web site is that Joaquin will stay out at sea. So high tides on the coast, and outer bands may affect New England and the Canadian Atlantic provinces.

That's good. Those flighty hurricanes can be unpredictable, though.

I have had a serious case of the I don't wannas since coming back from vacation. And today, none of my work friends are here to listening to my whining, which is making me extra whiny.

To sum up, I have the ennui.

On a plane headed back from the weirdest business trip ever. Personal dynamics, people behaving badly, people ratting people out. All in a work sense, not drinking stuff. Very unsettling and I'm not sure what the fallout will be.

If my years of working have taught me one thing, it's almost never the work and always the people.

I bought a t-shirt for Tim that is in a garish color worthy of Jensen from The Losers: [link] (I didn't buy it for the color; it just comes in that color. I bought it because of the whole mermaid thing. I have posted pictures of him as a mermaid, haven't I?)

Steph, I love that shirt! And if you did post that pic, I must have missed it. ::bats eyes::

This conversation about toxic work situations makes me think of this TED talk: [link]

A great talk about why "super chickens” are the worst collaborators.

Here's Tim as a merman: [link] It's a cool-ass picture.

That is a cuRAZY cool-ass picture. OMG. Seriously. Whut?

How did that even happen?

THAT IS AN AMAZING PICTURE. Holy crap, Tep! You have a hawt hubby. Not that you didn’t know that, but seriously.
