And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was putting my foot down on a certain tahini brand (Al Jamal), nevermind if a certain U.S. buffista had room for it in her luggage or not.

I suspect this is your way of making sure I come back because there is no English anywhere on this package so I don't think it's available in the US!!

I will neither confirm nor deny. Just still sad that we didn't have the time to go for the original plan of sandwiches and k'nafeh.

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

{{{Maria}}} I'm so sorry.

Sorry you are sick, Jess, but what an amazing trip!

Did I mention yesterday that I couldn't get into our system to do my work? Today nobody can. I am trying not to feel like it's my fault. And trying to think of something I can do to keep busy...

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

This day is a most Epic day! Happy birthday to EpicTangent! May the day be filled with love and treats. May this year return you to good health so that you can fully celebrate next year.

Thank you! I will take those good wishes!

I did not have yesterday off; in fact, it was my first day back to work post-surgery. My laptop decided it couldn't connect to my wi-fi properly (despite the fact that I purposely turned everything on & logged in to everything on Saturday night to ensure that I would be able to start Monday morning without a hitch. *sigh* Best laid plans...) and it was a solid 3 and a half to 4 hours before I happened on the one IT guy who recognized the problem and knew how to fix it. But it was 3 and a half to four hours where I was getting paid to watch Friends re-runs while IT tried to figure stuff out, so not that much of a hardship from my end.

Congrats on your return to work, askye! I hope things continue to improve for you.

Maria, I'm so sorry. Lots of love headed your way.

I'm so sorry, Maria. My thoughts are with you and your family. I know how tightly woven you are.
