Very easy and any of my flu germs will be terminated with extreme prejudice.
Call me an asshole, but I hope that the flu germs on your wife's potato survive.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
The 1980s *were* in some ways a long time ago.
Yes. And while the erosion of the public safety net and a lot of economic factors are not good, I'm glad that some social issues have improved.
I sometimes wonder what things would be like if we hadn't lost so many people to deliberately unaddressed disease. If we'd refrained from roiling up regional tensions during the first Gulf War. If our intelligence apparatus hadn't decided it was cool to do an end run around the Constitution to fund regime change via drug running. There's so much crap that started in the '80s that's still reverberating today.
Perhaps the hair was an early warning sign. Socio-political malaise expressed follicularly.
At least there was Prince.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Coworker, who was running this morning's 7AM meeting, showed up 10 minutes late with no explanation. Husband's VPN is mysteriously not working. The temperature dropped 30 degrees overnight, which may explain the blinding headache I had last night. WTF, Thursday.

Dearest colleagues, I love most of you and you are in many ways my (professional) people, but upon the 15th email I am sending to reschedule this meeting, a humble request: please update your availability in outlook calendars. Please.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Suddenly, I am not sleeping through the night and it is killing me. Does anyone have any solutions?

I'm sorry, Jesse. The only thing that cured my insomnia was getting up early and not stopping until a set time. My son has some success with melatonin.
I am heading over to see the siblings this afternoon. Staying until Saturday morning. I have to keep reminding myself that the reason my brother is so miserable and hateful is that he is sick and in pain. I think the only safe subject may be spring training for baseball.

I have people hounding me about things I need to deliver on, but I've been sick and focusing on putting out fires. I have a million things to do and very little motivation to work on them, so I need to think of ways to bribe myself into getting things done.
Also, my dad is having a stress test this morning because he probably needs surgery to put in more stents. I'm trying not to be mad at him for eating all the ice cream and NOT ANY GODDAMN VEGETABLES YOU HAVE DIABETES.
