I saw that Amy. Somehow I hadn't been aware of Paula Yates' death. How tragic! What a sad family history. I can't help but feel for all of them.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So today was one of my five thirty am workdays. The SO is on his way home from his recording session but is running behind and cranky. I have about an hour and a half here before I need to head over to run tonight's concert, but all is in readiness except for buying the ice for the green room. So I am doing laundry and chilling and generally appreciating the last few vestiges of my introvert ttime before mass chaos hits. If I had any sense I'd take a nap cause it's gonna be a long night. Longer if there's post show drinking, which seems likely since they dint have a gig tomorrow.

I had a tick ON MY FACE. Now I'm all twitchy.
Intern had a car accident over the weekend and went to the doctor today to get cleared and is making arrangements for a car rental. Ugh. I can't lose her. Hopefully she can train it and I can pick her up at the station (less than a mile away).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Had a doctor's appointment this morning at 8. Got there early, and the door was locked. Once there was someone in the office I was told the doctor was sick. Apparently she left a message on my work voice mail, which I didn't get because I hadn't been in to work yet. (That was the contact number they had. Now they have my cell phone #.) Got rescheduled for next Friday. So Monday.

I feel so sorry for all of you with the stomach ick.
I'm gearing up for Noah's baseball game. Blargh. I need a ton of water because it's 90 here.

Has anybody mentioned how totally adorable that British prince-baby George is? He's both a mini-Wills and ADORBS. [link] (The SHOES! I may have a small addiction to baby shoes.)

So thoughts - when asking for a promotion, do you start by saying "I deserve this promotion and here's why" or do you start with the reasons you're awesome and the end with "And in conclusion, promote me."
This is being done via email because my big boss is cross-country and hard to reach on the phone.

I would have assumed one starts with "I deserve this promotion and here's why" and ends with "in conclusion, promote me" but don't ask me, I'm in academia and we do everything wonky.
