That's a nice change of pace, Zen.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

OK, "friendly and efficient" is a nice middle-point for workpeople.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wonder if a good carpet cleaning really would help mine. They're at least 8 years old, this horrendous brown, and heavily matted in places.
That's how mine are/were, though beige not brown. Stanley Steamer is good and has specials a lot. I'd give it a try, it can't hurt and it isn't very expensive. Mine look much better now.

Everything that had to be done today has been done. I'm taking this headache back to bed.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Mine look much better now.
That was my big question. I just want to be able to see a difference.
I hope your brain stops doing the cha-cha inside your head.

Sleep well, Zen. I am already debating whether my intention to rest today would be better served by going for a leisurely walk (I am sure Walter's choice) or just going to bed as early as I can manage. Can't do either for a few more hours what with being in the office and all.
Hey, we have a "tailgate luncheon" on Thursday. I need to revise my planned menus for the week...

I'm starting to wonder if I'm having side effects to the blood pressure medication I've been taking for years. I'd been attributing some of my symptoms to too much bar food and beer, but now that the playoffs are done I will have to keep an eye on it.

That sounds like a possibility to keep in mind.
I may have run out of brain. I wonder if I can come up with stuff that needs doing that doesn't actually take braining.

It's been so long that I looked at the list of possible side effects that I forgot what they were.
In other news, I got an email from potential new manager congratulating me for the job offer. I still haven't heard from the recruiter this week, so I'm just going to say thanks and that I'm waiting on her so we can move forward.

Yeah, side effects are like that.
I am putting the unwrapped York Minis in my sugar bowl, since I have no need of sweeteners for my tea right now. That might be okay. Probably the people who come to my desk in search of chocolate won't know they are in there, but I can live with that.
