Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Randomly, I was just saying I want to go to the Azores, and now there's a deal email in my inbox! Flights and a week at a nice hotel for $800/person! Dag.

...anyone want to go to the Azores??

Mmm, that sounds nice. But as great a deal as that sounds like it's still $800 I shouldn't be spending.

I have virtually no idea who's quippy. That seems like something I should have at least a passing acquaintance with.

When I think of quippy, I think of Spider-Man, Buffy, and Deadpool.

I would like to go to the Azores, but I suspect that it would be more than $800 for me...

True -- it would be $800+airfare to Boston. Which is true of most of you people, actually.

The Kimpton rewards dealie gives you access to wifi without paying for it (apropos of an earlier conversation), AND you get $10 to either eat an overpriced Snickers from the honor bar *or* towards your bar tab. So I'm going to have to get a snooty cocktail later.

Or maybe the overpriced Snickers. We'll see. But for now I have about 20 minutes to chill out before 4 hours of meetings that I'm sorely afraid will be stuff I already know (the session is titled "Word Tips For Editors"). But hey, if they want to pay to fly me out here and put me up in a Kimpton to show me Word stuff I already know, that's their call.

Welp, my brain is not functioning today:

I left the house in ballet shoes and no socks, and it's been snowing. I accidentally left a tip for $26.60 on a $10 lunch. (The cashier caught it and reimburse me.) Then I accidentally deleted almost all of my library holds.

I have about a half dozen work things to send to people for approvals, but I am certain I am going to screw them up, so I am leaving them for Monday.

Sounds like you should go home and wrap yourself in a blanket, Sue.

Yay snooty cocktail! Or overpriced Snickers, those both sound good. Maybe wacky chocolate and caramel cocktail?

I could be convinced

That sounds good. I do have tomorrow off, so maybe my brain will reboot.
