Benefit of working from home: tater tots for lunch!
(Yeah, I know people who work in offices may be able to go out to a restaurant that serves tater tots, but all I had to do was stroll into my kitchen and toss them in the oven.)
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Getting back into Real Work mode is hard.
Since I didn't really take time off over the holidays, I get to be the annoying person emailing just-returned folks to remind them of the information they promised me! FEAR ME.

When my mom died, I had her gmail forwarded to my account. I unsubscribed her from junk e-mail and responded to any e-mails from folks I wasn't otherwise able to notify. And then I forgot about it.
It has been over 5 years and today I got an e-mail from one of her friends from Alameda. She is someone I tried to contact but didn't have any contact information. I was totally thrown at first because I didn't remember the forward and was clueless how she found me. I sent her a response with news of mom's passing along with basic family update info.
Honestly I'm still feeling totally thrown.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, holy crap, THREE librarians couldn't figure that out? I swear I would have butted in with "Are you looking for The Diary of Anne Frank?" right at the start. Minor rudeness, to avert larger crisis.
My boss, who is half a world away in India, is on the verge of having a control meltdown. It hasn't happened yet, but I can feel the disturbance building in the Force.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Got through my training, and either the Claritin wore off or this isn't allergies. Blergh.

God damn it, I just volunteered myself to join a conference call. Why did I do that? I guess because repeatedly saying the same thing via email wasn't working?

Yeah. That was weird.

For 3 days last week I thought my allergies were just out of hand, because I was a sneezing fool, but didn't otherwise feel bad/tired/rundown or have any other symptoms of a cold. Until yesterday morning. And then I felt like hammered crap. All I can say is that at least it held off until all of the holiday festivities were over, AND at least it's a cold and not the flu. #somesilverliningthisis

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was talking to a friend yesterday about how we wished there were a way to not come back to work today OTHER than getting sick. We agreed that being at work is better than being sick....
