My head so needs a steam bath. Why did I leave Iceland? There weren't even all these things blooming there to make my stupid immune system overreact.
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why did I leave Iceland?
Good question!!

No back-up is a bad, bad thing.
We recently had a staff member die. At a conference. She was 37. There was, luckily, one person she shared information with, so we're not completely screwed, but still ...

I just don't know. We didn't even get to go to the Chuck Norris Grill!

I've been sneezing and mouth-breathing all day, hopefully whatever I'm reacting to will settle after it rains. And now I have a headache, possibly from the fumes of the bathroom renovation next to my office.

Oh, Todd, how awful! In general, and specifically with the no coverage thing. That happens.
I just don't know. We didn't even get to go to the Chuck Norris Grill!
Right? I should probably break into my Icelandic Easter Egg, anyway.

Hm, there's an opening for a financial analyst here. Hm.

Oh, today's "excitement" was me and a colleague witnessing a regularly annoying visitor tromping through the bushes and apparently taking a leak, just as a family with small children came walking down a nearby path. We got my boss to go handle it, and when confronted, the guy said "what of it?". Didn't deny it, just a "so?".
!!!
I wish he hadn't been facing away from me so we could had grounds for calling the cops. I still want to call the cops so we establish a history for when we need to have him escorted from the premises permanently. (Background: the "meditation guys" come by once a week and occupy a space for several hours. One is a therapist of sorts and the other is his paying client. They've tried setting up shop, during inclement weather, in all of our building spaces. This then leads to other visitors believing the space is off limits. They've disrupted children's programming. By removing set up paraphernalia for said programming and not returning it to where it was. On top of all the perpetual disruptiveness, they have the rudest, most entitled attitudes).
What of it, grrr. It's not like they aren't familiar with the space and where all the many public restrooms are.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Julie, could you have him hauled away for public urination? That's a misdemeanor, too, I think. People, man. Unbelievable.

Easter egg included a little scroll that says "Fiskur tekur beitu en ongull fisk" (there's an umlaut over the o in ongull. I don't know how to make umlauts happen) which Google tells me means "fish takes the bait while fishing hook fish" which is nearly as cryptic. I am pretty sure I did not win the free flight.
Also something like chocolate covered chewing gum, but more dissolvy. Maybe some kind of nougat? Almost like a taffy?
Interesting, anyway.
