not your mom's socks.

Consuela, wishing you a speedy recovery. Vertigo and post-op together -- awful. Sisters are a good thing though.

Tommyrot, I hope you feel better too!

Ack, Dana that would have driven me from the office.

Also, the Situation I'd temporarily handed off while on vacation immediately got handed back to me this morning. Quelle surprise!

I really don't feel like working, but I realized as I went to get lunch that one of my reports is due today (doesn't FEEL like it should be due today, because I was on vacation Thurs/Fri and Monday was a holiday, but it's due a week after the visit happens, which was Tuesday). So I guess I have to.

Because books.

Welcome home, vacationers!

Consuela, that sounds miserable. Hope you feel much better soon -- vertigo is no fun at all.

tommy, I agree with everyone else -- an appointment is a good thing.

I feel like I've gotten nothing done today, which isn't true, it's just all little, nibbled-by-ducks things. But they included calling my health insurance provider and making a doctor's appointment, so go me?

Definitely to a doctor.

One of the guys I work for had been having numbness in one hand and then started slurring a bit and went right in and they found he had a tear in an artery and it was causing microstrokes. Scary.

Also I presume you will be sharing the info for that masseuse?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Aurelia- I don't know your connection to that troll, but I'd unfriend him in a heartbeat. You don't need that bullshit and neither does anyone else. The stuff he posts on his own wall indicates that he really is that kind of person and isn't going to be swayed by logic or reason.

We have beautiful 80 degree weather here. I have decamped work into my bedroom where I can open the sliding glass door and have a breeze. I really need to get a patio set so I can work outside.

Because books.

It's dark here, and it's started thundering and spitting rain. We may have hail again, they say. Wheee.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This frickin' day. A four-hour training session in the middle of it, I never got my cup of tea, and my 5 person department is down two people (ie we have two open positions - the person they hired for one of them has backed out). It's not pleasant.

I think they weather might be nice, though. Soon, soon I will leave the office and the weather will matter.
