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.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find my glasses. My brand-new, expensive glasses. Left them in a bar last night. I had the same pair of glasses for over ten years, and now I've lost two pairs in the past couple months. Hopefully, they're still at the bar, but I won't find out until after work.
Yesterday, I had a rough therapy session, which makes me anxious, which makes me do stupid things, which makes me even more anxious. And we were discussing in therapy about how I need to stop beating myself up over things,and then I go and do something that seems to be an act of self-sabotage, just so that I can go on beating myself up over it. It's very frustrating.

That's rough, Tom. I hope the glasses are still there, and that you can be easy on yourself for leaving them either way.
