Timelies all!
Another Boskone has come and gone. We head to the airport soon.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just say "I'm so sorry." Juliebird. It's about her feelings, not how the cat was with you.

I'm feeling a little better today. I think the ABs are kicking in. Also, I have a dentist appointment shortly to take a look at whatever's causing pain in my tooth/jaw. I have a feeling that the news won't be good, but it does feel good to be getting it taken care of.

Yes, totally. If you're not sure if a certain comment might or might not be appropriate, just stick with the most basic expression of sympathy.

Sometimes a vague apology is everyone's friend.

Agreed. Also, when I had Jeeves put down, I occasionally made jokes about certain things I wouldn't miss, but I would not have taken it well if other people had made similar jokes. So in short, you can't always take the other person's tone as a guide for your own. Sympathy is safest.

On Friday I discovered that most of my contact list on my phone was gone. I must have done something. . . but I'm not sure what it was.
Luckily I was able to pull most of the very important numbers from my recent phone call list and my messages list.
Then I was skimming some blogs and somebody else with the same phone (iphone 4s) had the same thing happen to her last week.
Huh.
Also, my back is sore. I'm blaming Winter.

Zero fricking motivation. I'm watching the ice dancing finals and don't even have the ummph to really pay attention. Never mind the fact that I'm supposed to be working. Just so NOT in the mood.

Me, too! Stupid Winter!
My flight has been cancelled. I called the hotel I was supposed to check into tonight and moved my reservation to check in tomorrow. I think I've been rebooked on a flight tomorrow that connects through DFW, but I'm waiting in a queue for the airline to call me back to confirm. After I do that, I need to move around some meetings.
At least the important meeting I was supposed to go to on early Wednesday morning has been moved to next week, so I don't have to worry about screeching into that on fumes.
