That card is just baffling, erin. Also, I'm boggled that you need A/C in PDX; it's just wrong.
Grr argh, Laga, on the disappointing word from the repeal 8 people, but yay on making the contact.
I'm having a stupid hard time getting myself to redo my resume and work on a cover letter for something that just posted at my uni that is basically my dream job (if I must have a day job). I've been home sick all day, and I'd kind of thought I'd be able to use that time to get everything together, but instead I've been in a cold-medication haze; I've managed to watch
Coraline
and boggle at a whole lot of alarmingly clue-deficient comments on one of the
Atlantic
blogs (Ta-Nehisi Coates: so many white people being so historically tone-deaf it hurts), but I haven't actually DONE a damn thing all day. Possibly I am in fact sick, not just sniffly.
Sounds like you might be real sick , JZ
erin , that card was disturbing.
Did I just hear The Count from Sesame Street singing about hands in a commercial for a faucet?
I agree that i really should not need AC in PDX. If i enjoyed this kind of weather i would have stayed in Va. There was much flaggellation when i purchased the window unit, but i was getting used to night shift and day sleeping and it felt justified.
Breaking news! Many in Clackamas lost power for a few hours today. Old people might die in hot weather and should be checked on frequently. We need to stay hydrated during Hotpocalypse. Yeah, yeah, yeah, i get it.
Did you get my e-mail?
Yes, I did. See: stupid. Thanks much, and if I can get my brain in gear I'll ping you with something tomorrow.
I have probably a dozen personal emails and various projects that need attention, but I'm just...dumb right now. I had to go in to work first thing in the morning to deal with some early-Monday stuff that couldn't be palmed off on anyone else, and then got caught with a couple of phone calls and scheduling snafus that required actual thoughtful, patient work, and by the time I came back home at 10:30 I was practically drooling.
Yeah, it's 102 degrees here right now. Which is just insane hot.
So I went to the doctor and oh yeah, I totally had a concussion. But my brain is no longer scrambled and still spicy. Wicked bruising but that's all. I have 5 mg Flexeril now and have taken one. I'm a little relieved that I passed the spicy brain test. And wear your seat belts, seriously.
Congratulations on your brain spice retention, Cass.
Did you get my e-mail?
Yes, I did. See: stupid.
No stupid; I just wanted to make sure you got it, because I'm happy to help.
