YAY, ita.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Fingers crossed even harder.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Anticipatory yay, ita!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Shoot, the workshop thingy about making your home more energy efficient starts in about ten minutes. I guess I'm not going. Rats.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Anticipatory yay for ita from me, too!
I should be coming to Chicago for work in January or February (because they are a bunch of sadistic weirdoes -- why not May or June???). When I know more, I'll make plans in the F2F thread.

I hope everything gets finalized for you soon, ita.
And I hope the Copenhagen office trip comes through for you, Jilli. It sounds like a nifty city to visit.

ita! Things crossed.
Jilli, hope you get the trip and see northern lights. Just saw some vid from a friend, and I really want to see them sooner or later.
Baked cookies for my pool crew. Didn't eat much of anything today. Gatoraded after my swim because there were some weird moments during it. Not sure what the hell my digestive tract is doing. But it is stupid.
I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow. Even if it is only for another 11 days. Maybe 10. Or 9. Attitude in toilet.

I'd love to see Copenhagen. Some of the buildings my great-grandpa worked on(he was a stonemason, like Tony Soprano's grandpa) might still be there.
