Dying on endless conference call.
Plus side: It's about an investor pitch where the investors are hot to trot, which means I'd get back pay for all the months of unpaid work I've done on this thing.
So...that's worth it.
Darn your sinister attraction!

I was pseudo dieting over the weekend, but I don't think missing meals due to sleeping in has much of a net effect.
Steph, I would advise you to save the e-mail chain for the inevitable questions from the Editor-in-Chief. (For what it's worth, I tend to run into the opposite situation where my counterpart in Print Coordination raises questions about making major changes after something has been approved as is by the EiC or the Big Boss. She's technically the last set of eyes to look at outgoing products, but I wish she'd do a thorough review pass BEFORE it goes to the bigwigs instead of just rubber stamping at that point so she could raise these issues before things are approved as final.)

I just got my diet back to vaguely healthsome after the post-election eating of feelings. Salad actually tasted really good last night. OK, the bacon crumbles probably helped. Still--salad.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Bacon has protein. Maybe not the healthiest source of protein, but at least not empty calories. And better than most of what I've been eating lately.

I save all my work emails because I'm paranoid.

Though, for the record, I did buy Brussels sprouts yesterday. So I could roast them and put bacon on them.

Woot! The revised Thanksgiving schedule is out, and I'm off on Thursday! Time to go to the fancy grocery store on Wednesday and get something decadent to eat in my bathrobe. My SIL called last night to invite me to the friend's place she goes to on T-Day, but I really don't want to a pity guest. "This is my widowed sister-in-law, she has nowhere to go." I do have somewhere to go--my comfy chair with the entire run of Avengers movies on the TV.
