Oh wow that's sad.
Blah Sara, I'm sorry.
Condolences, Polgara.
How awesome, captain serious! Love!
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

"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.

I have neighbor delivered gatorade. Sure sign I feel like shit? It tastes like the best thing ever. It's hard to refrain from chugging it.
It's stayed down 30 minutes.
Ack, tonight is trash night. Just going up stairs wears me out. I'm achy from the fever, I'm achy from the dehydration (my joints are bellweathers) I'm achy from being prone all day.
Wahwahwahwah.
Turns out my neighbor got hit with the same saturday. Her's was a 12 hour bug, so I'm hopefully on the mend. OTOH, her system is used to assault from all sorts of nasties in 3rd world countries, so....

Haha, that's what I did because I figure it should be structured like an essay! But my mentor who's looking over the email for me says you can't just come out and ask for a promotion. I think she's probably wrong, but I really don't know.
