Get an f*ing grip, people. Just get an f*ing grip. It's Christmas. It's a national holiday and people can cope.
I walked into my office today and got stung on the hand by a wasp that had caught a ride in my hair. Wow that hurt.
The security guy in our building called the EMT that my company has on staff. (Hooray for the company deciding to have a 90 second emergency response). He was very nice and gave me ice packs. He interviewed me for a while so we could see whether I was allergic, since I've never been stung by a wasp before. It turns out I'm not.
The only fun part was his look of awe when he took my pulse and BP. Pulse: 68 BP:116/78
I now return myself to my regularly scheduled work day.
I've had no posts of note, since I haven't done much this week. Mostly I've been working at home, which means that I'm at the kitchen table with my work and personal laptops up and running. Not commuting was my way of sparing the air. Really (I have this bridge I could sell, you, too). Today I'm in the office to take advantage of the free AC.
So, my accomplishments this week:
- sent email for work
- updated the budget
- attended three conference calls
- caught up with email to family (so, now I have two cousins in Iraq)
- washed the dusty wine glasses on our rack (inspired by putting the clean champagne flutes away after the strawberry wobblers)
- cut out new dresses for the neices
- fixed Opa, Bunny, and Bjorn. Gave Bjorn extra stuffing
- loved on the kitty who has adopted me. Poor hot kitty
- gave hat suggestions to A, who emailed me with questions about what to wear with her 12th night dress
- embroidered a bit on the trim of all trimliness
Let's just say I've spent a lot of the rest of my time websurfing.
Tomorrow I'm home again. This time it's to watch over the handyman while he fixes the problems the old one left. If he shows up. This guy we've had in before. The landlord likes him. He does a good job, when he shows up.
Today, the fellow with the cube behind mine has brought in something which ribbits. Not often enough to be annoying, fortunately, but it's really surreal to have a frog croaking next door.
Just got this note from Facilities.
I think this means I should turn off my computer. Really, its for the greater good ;-)

misagillian, I found out that the 3:00 meeting had been rescheduled to 4:00. Le sigh. This, like 8 am, may be part of the work day, but it is not a good time to schedule a meeting.Between putting in 20 hours of work on the Tempus M-W, Babysitting the Noah on Thursday, the fire on Friday, and Investiture on Sat, I didn't get to bed before midnight for a week. I am certainly feeling the lack of sleep now.
I hope I don't get all-out sick, but I started losing my voice last night and have a sore throat today. I'll see how well I last at work. My boss will be on vacation next week, so I'd like to make sure we're on the same page before he goes.
