Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

There's a show on PBS this Sunday, a Dickens mash-up called Dickensian.

It's on Netflix in Canada.

On the other hand, I am extraordinarily organized and have wonderful calendars and lists. My work knowledge base is fabulous. I may not remember, but I generally can find the info.

I used to have a crack memory, which I relied on to keep me organized and on time. Now, I'm a mess with no organizational skills.

Yes, Sue. DH had an amazing memory that impressed me so much in college. Never studied, the jerk, because if he heard it in class or read it ONCE it was there forever. Now apparently his memory banks are full and it is tremendously frustrating to him because writing things down just doesn't come naturally.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who forgets stuff that used to be easy.

Why is it even when I wait until 7:29, I'm still the second person to sign on to a 7:30 meeting? What if I have to make awkward conversation?

Oh, and of course I'm the only English speaker in the room, so they all have to speak English for me.

This happens so often to me! A number of my medical offices are Spanish speaking. As I wind my way through the offices the language changes to English as I pass through the room then changes back as I depart. Note to self for the billionth time: learn Spanish.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry about your uncle, sarameg.

Today I get to present on one of the learning technologies I support. It's fun, but I have to remember that "and here's the thing--isn't the thing cool?" isn't an appropriate presentation technique. (Even though the thing really is kinda cool.)

April 28th--I hope the snow has melted off the roads by now. It was snarling traffic earlier.

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

Snarl is a great word. Traffic snarls at you.

My uncle died last night & the contractor came back with proposed solutions and bids that are not to my liking on 2 of the projects- so I still gotta find someone to do the roof leak & the back door (it's like he wasn't fucking listening.Buh-bye, nope.)

I'm done.
