Because books.

Jesse's financial guys rules.

Toddson, that sounds complicated. I hope your boss can help get it untangled.

Gud, I know next to nothing about Philly transit (unfortunately)! I live out here past where the Main Line ends, and I rarely (read: never) get into Philly proper. Sox knows the city very well, though, and I know what others have said about the airport is true. If you're not going to be venturing much past the center of the city, no need for a rental car (and honestly, driving in Philly scares me in a way driving in NYC never did).

Cinnamon toast:

Adjacent to the conversation about doctor's names here, I started a list of names last night at work, from the various funeral homes I took calls from. (Attention: flea!)

Just a few:

Lissee (pronounced Lease)
Willodean
E'Lois
Zvi
Roylene
Kymeir
Pharis
Vidore
Ioakina
Draper

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's an amazing list, Amy.

Good luck with all of that, Toddson.

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

If Roylene wasn't a Southern woman, I'll be surprised.

Congrats, Teacups!

~ma for your father, Sue.

I have an Onerous Task at work, and I'm procrastinating.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Health~ma for your dad, Sue.

Doing laundry in order to pack for our next trip. We have to get up at stupid o'clock to catch our flight.

hip deep in pie

Thanks guys.

Apparently his regular doctor is on vacation and an old friend's dad is filling in. Though I thought he'd retired already.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The Saga of My Root Canal Re-do has ended well! After the first appointment for the re-do, I still had some pain and tenderness, and the endodontist said that can happen in a percentage of patients, and he put more medicine in the tooth to see if that would get stuff to calm down. Today was my follow-up appointment, and while the pain is gone and I can chew on that side, it seemed to me that there was still tenderness and swelling in the gum area. The endodontist took a look and said it all looks really good, and the gum tenderness is normal as it heals.

I was so sure I'd be getting that tooth pulled, because that's the only option on a failed root canal. I am SO RELIEVED.

Those are some great names!

I do not want to do work. I'm in teleconferences for hours today and I hate it.

Also my best friend here is moving away (about 3-4 hours away) and I hate it. :(

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hooray for a successful root canal.

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

What a mess, Theo! I hope it gets taken care of.

Yay for Jesse's financial guy. Wine, women and song is the new jookers and blow, right?

Yay, Tep.

I'm sorry, meara. That sucks.

I'm supposedly working from home but I think I will have to just cash in some sick time because some of the stuff that needs doing I can't seem to do. Between trying to work on my tiny netbook with a cracked screen, Citrix being unreliable, and my headache everything is very hard. t /whine
