Well they shut off LJ access at work. Then I quit that job back in September and got a new job also with LJ firewalled. I'm home sick today, though. Also, I sorta hate my new job. Alas.

Oh, and I'm way pregnant. Like, I'm due next week. I'm having contractions right now, even.

I'd love to dig into all the bits and pieces, but I don't have time. Still, I wanted to comment on this:

If you wanted concrete answers...not so much. If you wanted a satisfying ending to the journeys of these particular characters...yes. Very much so.

I thought it was beautiful and emotional. I'm still feeling joyful despite being sad that it is

So. The Cleveland Cavaliers, the team with the best regular season record and led by incredible talent and league MVP LeBron James, got bounced from the second round of the playoffs last night by the veteran Boston Celtics ( Read more... )

The guy I just spoke to on the phone for work is a known shit-stirrer, a gossip, and a disorganized work-shirker. But I'll tell you what, he's a pleasant fellow to talk to and he always, always compliments me, my work, and my department- both to me and to my boss. So, yeah, I totally know he's blowing smoke, but I much prefer working with him than ( Read more... )

I'm bored. I either need a new job or a new hobby.

Suggestions?

I made it, no real problems. I'm working from home today so I could sleep in a bit, wait around for the water heater inspector, and avoid the snow storm we're going to get hit with.

It is gooooood to be home.

With any luck, the airport is clear here tomorrow, the weather is bad enough to delay my flight in Stockholm for a little while (my connection is really, really tight), but not enough to ground us, so I make my flight in Copenhagen. If I don't, and I'm stuck overnight in Europe, then I run the risk of not being able to get into DC tomorrow in the ( Read more... )

It has been snowing all day. The Swedes are all like, "damn, that's a lot of snow." I'm just awed by how beautiful it is- as I don't have to drive in it or anything, I'm just enjoying it. Everyone says this is the most "traditional" Swedish winter they've had in several years, and although I can't attest to that, I can say that it looks exactly ( Read more... )

Well, I'm in Sweden. It is snowing lightly, but because it is Sunday the hotel restaurant is closed so I had to go across the street and get fast food (Max burgers are good, though, this isn't really a hardship). My first and second flights were both delayed- I caught my third plane with literally five minutes to spare. I was not one bit surprised ( Read more... )

Rachel is recovering from the nastiest-looking case of Hand, Foot, & Mouth disease that I've ever seen. The other two kids at daycare have it now, too (thanks, Rachel!). I'm home from work with an ear ache. The doctor looked in my ear and said I just needed a nasal decongestant to reduce some middle-ear fluid. So I'm doing that and trying to work ( Read more... )
