Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I hope the medical thing went well, Gud. Thanks for everything you do for the board.

A friend of mine named her daughters using Irish Celtic spellings. I am not quite up to speed on connecting the letters with the pronunciations, but it's not like I write to them.

I just opened a checking account at my son's employer affiliated credit union for him.

It's great that he has a credit union option. (And a mom who gets him set up there.) I've had much better experiences with my credit union than I ever had with a regular bank.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm going to upgrade my irritation level with my coworker to "I AM GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU STOP COMPLICATING EVERYTHING I AM ON VACATION STARTING THURSDAY AND I AM NOT GOING TO WORK MYSELF TO DEATH JUST TO PLEASE YOU."

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

So, irritation level fuchsia? Have I got that right?

Recovery~ma, Gud! I hope the kid's internship is a great experience for him.

Zero desire to work today. Much desire to go back to bed.

Fuchsia is probably the color of my face right now, so yeah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm not going on vacation for six weeks and I'm still counting down.

I had a medical thing yesterday and I feel a bit like I've been run over by a bus.

Recovery~ma, Gud. Please take care of yourself!

Zero desire to work today. Much desire to go back to bed.

Wordy McWord.

I'm supposed to be on vacation Thursday, but I guess we'll see how much work I end up doing anyway.

Be well, Gud! An internship at 15 sounds awfully impressive to me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

1 week until vacation. I really need to force my coworkers to sit and train on my tasks. I also need to clear my desk.

Tomorrow I work from home so I'm gonna tackle as much as I can of stuff I have to do in the office.

Starting NOW!

I have no vacation planned but I definitely want to go back to bed.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm not going on vacation for six weeks and I'm still counting down.

8 weeks for me, and YES. I keep checking a beach webcam.
