On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, if you pack it yourself, they'll label it. They should also give you a guideline for what constitutes high value.

HI MEETING I'M NOT READY FOR!

Not actually for another 40 minutes, but the stress is hitting now.

Good luck with the meeting

I'm feeling very sleepy all of the sudden. It's a little weird.

Heh. It comes creeping in on comic sans...

So this rescheduled rescheduled substitute-hosted webex meeting seems to be not happening.

I can just hang up and leave, right?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

It has been 6 days and I think my body has adjusted to the reduced caloric intake. I am hungry before meals, but not horribly. I am thinking about food a good chunck of the afternoon though. Not in a bad way, but a planning way so I do not just eat what is easiest.

That's about where I am, too, msbelle. I hope to get through the constantly planning food phase before too long...

Dear Other Department

You were on the initial email requesting this information. Did you really have to wait for a second email addressing me directly and my response that I did not know and could Other Dept help before answering?

OK. Meeting that I am now somewhat prepared for. Totally unrelated to above rant, btw, which is part of why I was so annoyed, I did not really have time and attention to spare to making someone else do their job.

Back to school stuff is starting. Isn't it a little early?

Which means we're about two weeks away from THREAT LEVEL: PUMPKIN hitting all the craft stores! Deliver unto me all the glittery skulls!

Sometimes I feel like that's a distressingly large part of my job.
