Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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?

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??

I could be convinced

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

I can't go to Azores since the incident.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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

I could be persuaded. How many people can go?

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

Classic my boss, he asked me this morning to figure out what to do with extra desk we have in order to clear out an office. Then he goes to lunch with 2 co-workers and they discuss options for the desk over lunch making decisions I know nothing about. Classic.
