Woke up too early, couldn't stop thinking about work, so I just came in. I think I actually can get everything done today with no problem (and my main deadline is actually on Sunday, so worst-case scenario, I still have the weekend to finish things up), but ugh. Stupid work. At least I had a brainstorm about someone to ask for help on one tricky thing.

The tuning song! Although I go too long between piano tunings, I'm not really sure what it sounds like.

If I were to wear khakis and a polo shirt because in my head that is "casual Friday uniform" is that normcore or can a 46-year-old lady not wear that ironically?

Not actually what I am wearing today, I was just thinking about it. Actually wearing a long denim dress and an oatmeal shrug, feels vaguely prairie-ish but somewhat sincere.

So, after my co-worker who is moving to another department left for the day yesterday, grandboss (actually great grand boss? Our organizational structure feels much flatter than it looks on charts) came by and noticed her cube was empty and said "It's not June 1st" (which is her first day at the other department, so I said how coworker was on vacation tomorrow (meaning today because this was yesterday) so she was done with us, and boss said something like oh, we didn't get a chance to do anything for her like a lunch or something, so I said that we had had the potluck before I realized that no one had invited great grand boss. Oops. It's our boss's fault, she did the inviting and didn't include any higher ups, but I'm the one that spilled the beans. Oh well. I did mention that it was pretty last minute and offered her cookies, it's all I could think of to do, but I feel bad about it.

Heh, I like my tag next to yours, Jesse.

Shoot. I left my phone at home, which I realized while driving in and pretty much made my peace with except that it didn't occur to me until now that I don't have a timer for my french press. Woes!

Has it been 4 minutes since I posted that?

ETA Yes! Coffee time.

Seems pretty normcore to me, but does the irony come down to the intention of the wearer, or the interpretation of the viewer?

I have a ginormous bruise on my calf. Kat and Scrappy, can I ask what were the symptoms that made you suspicious of DVT? I am worried that I'm being all casual and secretly running around risking a stroke. Which reminds me, I should set up a derm appointment to have my skin checked.

Also, while I'm making a mental check list, I need to get the piano tuned.

Heh, I like my tag next to yours, Jesse.

Heh. Mine is so old, but I feel like I might just keep it forever. It's everything I love! (And maybe it even predates Ruffalo as the Hulk???)

Timelies all. I'm such a skipper I should be calling everyone "little buddy". I did see all that craziness with Teppy and Tim, and am very happy it has resolved itself.

Also, I've had this stack of Beer Advocate magazines I've been trying to get around to reading. I pulled out the next one up and who's picture should I see in the contributors page? Our very own Nora!

Yay, Nora!

I am interested to hear about the dvt too. I should probably know the signs, I think being on an airplane all the time is supposed to increase risk.

I am sleepy. And I ran out of coffee yesterday, so I need to get outside-clothed and go buy some. Blahhhhh. Mornings.

Oh right! I need to do a coffee run too, thanks meara. But first some breakfast, and I should set up some doctor appointments.
