Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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'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.

Sara, I'm sorry about your loss.

And your crappy quote from the contractor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so sorry, Sara.

I'm sorry, Sara.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm so sorry, sarameg. It's always sudden.

"It's like he wasn't listening" is such a good reason to be done.
