My folks like to go to the little riverboat casino in their town, have the buffet, and spend $20 each on slots. And their only real vacation ever was a road trip to Vegas. I ain't hating -- some people really enjoy it.

There's a Chana Joffe-Walt and a Jude Joffe-Block now working for NPR and that's very confusing in the morning. Sisters, maybe?

JFC. I'm supposed to have a call at 10 along with one of our senior people, and got an email this morning that may or may not indicate that she is bailing and I NEED TO KNOW ASAP. So I can cancel on the outside person! SO SO BAD.

Oy, good luck with that, Jesse.
When my alarm went off this morning I was really angry at it, sure it was Saturday today and I did not actually have to wake up. Guess it's been a long week.
I hate to lose money more than I like to win it
Oh, there's a term for that! Losing a thing we have seems worse than gaining a thing we don't have seems good, in general.

OK, I can stand down for the minute -- the call is apparently happening. Assuming we can actually reach the internal person who is actually in Sudan right now. Fuck everything.

So this morning's new symptom? A rash. Fortunately, it's mild and not itchy. But this can stop any time now.
I called the nurse hotline and I was told that I am highly contagious for two days after the blisters appear. So I guess I am staying home for the rest of the week. I don't feel that bad, but...
Currently trying to get my TiVo to talk to my computer so I can watch The Americans from the comfort of my couch.

I don't know why I am so exhausted and semi-burned-out, but the idea of a contagious disease that doesn't make me feel terrible is really appealing right now.

Hope your Tivo co-operates, Sue, and you continue to not feel that bad.

Oh, there were a couple of days of feeling terrible, don't worry. But I do know that feeling.

Oh, good! WAIT. Not good!
I am hopeful that my weekend of actually no social plans will help. I really don't know how people have kids.
