It's funny, I've been mildly resentful for years about the fact that not once since I got here in 2007 have I been called out and recognized at an all hands meeting, despite doing what I think is pretty good work (and occasionally great work). So now I'm finally getting recognized, and I'm grumpy because it won't be a surprise! Can't be pleased, I guess.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Oh, no! One of my small joys is now ruined: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, the flour??
I'm glad you're getting recognized, Consuela, even if you have to do some of the work.

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

Gary's dad and stepmom took care of the little guy today (including bringing him to the pediatrician, who said he probably has a virus) so Gary and I could take care of work and other commitments.
Got a prescription for eyeglasses today. (I'm mildly near-sighted) When I will get a chance to fill it, I don't know.

Screw it, I never buy bleached flour. I'm going to continue to eat the occasional spoonful of cookie dough.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Seriously, if I haven't gotten sick already...

OK, it's traced back to a specific batch of flour that's contaminated. Buy new flour to make your raw dough!

question for the swimmers. I am going to try to get myself going to a nearby gym with a pool. I'd like to swim to see if I can semi-zone out with that in a way that I can't seem to with running (too much bouncing and jiggling). I can swim fine, but have never swam/swum laps. I expect to be winded quickly and be very slow. Like I may only make it 1-2 laps (the lanes are 25 yards).
My hope if I can get myself up and get there early is that I will have a lane to myself, but if I have to share a lane, what is the least annoying way for me to be a lane sharer? My guess was to identify the slowest swimmer and start a lap when they are at the other end so we pass in the middle - hug the lane divider and generally try to be as small as possible.

Fingers crossed for your mom, Sean.
