Health~ma for Jilli's dad.
ita, I wish there was something we could do for you, other than virtually sympathize.
Thanks everyone. It's just one of those days I have to survive.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hang in there, Maria. You're amazing.
You guys! I just remembered the time zone thing in Outlook! I got an email about a thing at 12:30 Chicago time, and put that in so it showed up at the right time in my calendar! Sweet.

Gold star, Jesse!
Hard days are hard, Maria. I'll be thinking of you today.

The time zone thing is magic, and saved my ass countless times. Especially since my territory is mostly in the Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones.
I think I'm starting to get zen about the whole thing. I'm finally starting to let go of all of the crap I found out after and just appreciate when it was good. In the end, none of it matters anyway. There's no closure with this.

Yeah, I don't believe in closure, personally.
I just realized that the counter in the little kitchenette here is short - below my waist and I am pretty short. Probably a drag for my call co-workers, but nice for me! No wonder I don't mind washing dishes here as much as I do at home.

Speaking of bad anniversaries, the second anniversary of Hurricane Sandy is coming up, which makes me realize my tag line,

Brava! That is truly an accomplishment.
Yeah, I don't believe in closure, personally.
Me neither. I'm not even convinced it's desirable. I do think there's a place where grief can become more like a touchstone, but there is too much of who we are, who we once were, in grief to expect it to just go away.

Although I may complain about work being harrrrd, I did just have an encounter where some people were rolling on by me with a cart and flagged me down to offer, "Dim sum?" I responded with an enthusiastic, "Absolutely!"
