Ginger, I'm thinking you probably should have smacked her.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

It occurred to me, but I need those two units of packed red blood cells, which unfortunately they can't give me until Friday, so I have another day of not being able to do anything that requires standing or leaning over.

Well, I hope she gets smacked, proverbially or otherwise, at some point.
It's sort of stupid how good a trip to Target sometimes feels. I mean, it's just toothpaste and stuff, not the Hope Diamond.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You should take a person with you to smack her. We can start a volunteer squad.
The masseuse said, somewhat horrified, "Your back has never been this tight." I explained that I'd spend several days sleeping on a bed that was not my own.
There was much rejoicing on both our parts when my back finally stopped resisting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is genius! I would be more than happy to be someone's Surly Buddy at difficult appointments.

I'm so exhausted. I wanted to call in sick and sleep the day away, but the building construction during the day is too loud. So I am at work juggling fireballs.

I'm always happy to put the smack down on someone else's behalf. I get to feel all righteous and shit. Way more so than when it's for me.

I feel ya shrift, I really, really do.
I'm just burnt out on all levels. Friend asked me (specifically about work) when it would let up. "When I get used to it." Everything feels that way right now.

Honestly, doing that might be my dream job.

Because everything's on fire? Yeah, I just got back from 5 days off and I'm already overwhelmed again.
I was told that I needed to be more visible. Now I'm too visible and everyone's sending me everything.
