Oh, Burrell, No wonder. Given what you've been dealing with, you must be running on empty. Anything you can do for just you? A massage or a museum visit or something?

I think of my stretch class as me-time, so I have that. No time for any extras these days. Too many things that NEED to get done are getting pushed to the side, so if any extra time appears, those need to come first.

Ugh, Burrell. Good luck making it through. (Which I mean 100% sincerely, even though it probably looks snotty!)

Connie, are you suggesting that I am too anemic to be a good minion?

No, but some unremembered activity has made you ineligible to donate blood and help the community, thereby furthering the cause of evil, bwah-ha-hah!

Coworker that has a deliciously dry and blunt sense of humour is finally getting on my nerves. First she texts me on my day off for information that is not my job to disseminate, but she phrases it like it is. Then today she emails everyone for confirmation of an eblast. I was in the middle of a phonecall and then dealing with interns, and she gets sarcastic with me about not having immediately responded with new language, seeing as how I am the unofficial director of my department. Hi, if this was time sensitive, you are five steps from me. Don't berate me five minutes before you leave for not having responded immediately on a time sensitive matter.

Maybe she's still being dryly sarcastic, but I'm half a staff right now and in a phone conference with a vendor, and it's starting to wear.

That's rough, Burrell. That sounds like a really hard way to start the semester. I guess taking time off from work would probably be complicated.

Thanks, Jesse. I have a jar of picked jalepenos and carrots.

Oh yeah, I would have done carrots if I had room in the jar. But maybe blanched them a little first -- the ones I put in beet juice stayed too hard for me.

Hey, so soliciting some home decorating opinions, which of the following clocks do you think would look best for a 15" x 30" vertical strip of pale blue-violet wall beside my kitchen cabinets? (Visible just to the right of top center here: [link]

Art Deco ocean liner: [link]

Art Deco gold geometric design: [link]

Abstract metal swoosh around blonde wood: [link]

black and gold tango dancers silhouette: [link]

TARDIS: [link]

Bonus option - it's not really a wall clock, but this is a cool abstract 3-D clock and I could put up a small block shelf to hold it: [link]

My hammock time is being disrupted by bird sex.
