Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am so full of nope today, re: work. And possibly re: life.

Ditto. And my coffee didn't work this morning! On the upside, I just had ice cream for lunch while listening to our interns talk about their summers, and each one was more adorable than the last. Cute!

I think I forgot to take my morning allergy meds today. Which on the one hand means I was feeling good enough to not realize I needed them, but on the other means I am a little sniffly now. Oh well.

Yep. I'm tired and my right eye won't stop twitching. Tomorrow I have meetings running from 10:30am to 8pm because I have to accommodate too many time zones. I'll be leaving early on Friday in revenge.

That is way too long a stretch of meetings.

Nothing~ma, Pix.

I had a Skype interview today. I'm a solid expert in one learning management system; unfortunately, they use a different one. I found this out in the first two minutes of the interview, so I'm afraid it made me a little off-balance for the rest. I'm not feeling terribly confident.

I'm not booked the whole time, so I'll have a chance to grab dinner and pootle around a bit, but I'm having a hard time motivating myself today since I've got such a long haul tomorrow.

Good luck anyway, Calli.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Feeling kinda meh. Not sick, not tired per se, just kinda blah.

Ugh, I just realized that Macy's shipped part of my order via UPS because they attempted delivery today and failed, and I can't work from home tomorrow.

The USPS guy managed to deliver the OTHER package they sent, so clearly my ongoing feud with the UPS guy continues.
