Consuela, does your dad have any friends who are in better shape? I ask because my mother and I generally get invited somewhere on holidays (and we do or don't go, depending).
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I woke up worried about work at like 4 this morning, so I guess I should go in, but it just seems so excessive to be in the office before 7!

Well, it's 4pm where I am, and I'm rapidly losing the will to be productive.

Got to work so early, I had to use my badge in the elevator. So that's something I learned today.

Work that anxiety off, Jesse!
I had a 4am meeting, due to time zone issues. It is a six hour meeting. Of programmers and biostatisticians arguing over details. And it didn't get started until 415 or 420 because east coasters were late. Seriously??

A six hour meeting hashing out details? I think after two hours I'd just agree to anything if it would help make it stop.

I've mostly not been paying close attention and hoping they will prompt me if they need me.

OMG. Pretty sure I would have fallen back asleep by now.

Wow meara. Just wow. The barest details of that meeting are bad and it just gets worse!
I may need to revise my long held opinion that working five days in a row is too much. Two days in a row is too much. I could probably work every other day pretty consistently.

4AM? Hells to the no.
Jesse, no, Dad's entire social network is us.
Two more days of this contract-management training. It's a crapshoot if I can make it to the end of each day before I entirely lose the will to live. SO AWFUL.
