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.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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??
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.

I'm sorry -- I forget what a luxury community is.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
meara, how did you even stay awake? I can barely keep my focus on our one-hour every-other-week team meetings.
I can't stop coughing.

To be fair, I am not actually paying that much attention to the meeting. And it's a webbed, which helps some, because I don't have to look at a document and make sure I'm on the right page, I just have to glance at the screen.

That's something. I would have an even harder time staying awake, though, I think.
I have the impulse to invite you and your dad to my family Thanksgiving, Consuela, but it will probably be the Nitro Turkey 5k and take out again. But if your dad would be up for that...
And I need to revise my "every other day" work plan already. Saturdays off, obviously.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Looking at Five Thirty-Eight is not soothing me, you guys. I'm about a percentage point away from huddling in the corner and rocking.
