I am D-O-N-E. What I should do this afternoon is type up call notes and get my act together for next week. What I probably will do is not that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, tennis. I need to pay attention to that.
I woke up this morning congested and with an aching head. I better not be getting a cold, because that is unacceptable.

Having an unique name, I rarely get misdirected emails. The one time I did, it was a parents newsletter from an elementary school in California, address to someone with a Chinese name that was nothing like mine.
However, all my promotional email from Old Navy lately are address to "Nikki".

If I get misdirected email it gets caught by a Spam filter. I can't remember the last time I saw any.
Actual mail addressed to my neighbors or people who used to live in my house, otoh, all the time. My mail carrier is not super accurate.

Punishingly Intricate
I get misdirected email to my gmail account all the time but almost never to my yahoo account. It's infrequent enough, though, that I always respond and tell them they got the wrong lisah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've given up. No more vacation. I emailed my boss to let her know that my vacation has ended a day early and I'm working today. I've been working, a couple hours a day, this whole week I've been on vacation. ISTG. If I hadn't, I'd have come back Monday to a supermassive black hole of suck.
This is nuts. I worked extra hard last week to make sure everything was taken care of and other people were handling the editing. Every single person (volunteers! getting paid extra!) whom I gave work to screwed up. I think I'm more stressed out than if I'd not taken vacation and just done the work myself.

I sometimes get email in French.
I fairly frequently get what is obviously spam in French.
That sucks, Zen. I hope your boss is aware of the screw ups.

That sucks so much, Zen. It makes me very angry on your behalf. A world of wrong.
In me news: I have begun composing my while-I'm-out email to my backups for Monday and it is cheering me up immensely because my days off are actual days off where I don't work.

I'll be informing her during my regular report, but she won't care much and can't do anything about it anyway.
I was afraid this was a bad time to take a vacation, turns out it was but not at all for the reason I thought it would be! I plan to take another vacation next month and try this whole "not working" thing again.
