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. :(
Yeah... That went well.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just got out of a 4-hour deep dive meeting which I got roped into moderating at the last minute (my boss called in sick and grandboss asked if I could step in), and I am TIRED and want to NAP.

Because books.
Health ~ma for your dad, Sue! And supporting ~ma to you.
And congratulations to the Teacups! Man, I suck at meara'ing.
Four-hour meetings should not be allowed, and best friends should have to stay put.

You have EARNED a nap, Jessica.

Maybe I can fall asleep on the train. Because as soon as I get home it's off to plead my case for a bigger driveway to the zoning appeals board, yay!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
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).
Agree on the public transport situation. I mean, it's not the best city for it, but it'll get you around the centre of town (I can spell it centre because THAT'S HOW THEY DO IN PHILLY [link]
I would also agree on the driving, probably, if I'd ever gone driving in NYC. I can say that I'd made up my mind driving there would be ok while being shown some apartments by my estate agent. (I figured if he could reach the age he was while driving like he did, then I should do fine.)

I think Manhattan just makes more sense to me. It really is a grid, except for downtown, and you can't go too far wrong without hitting a river.
