Sounds like DC is having a seriously screwed up commute this morning.

Happy birthday, Nora!
Then I told him the most likely reason for it was that they thought his mom was SUPER CUTE and he got all grossed out and chocked on his laughter.
Well, you are supercute.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday, Nora! Why do I suspect that I forget every year that you share a birthday with my sister?
Because I'm like that.
There is a company mug and a company ID card holder at my desk. Goodbye contracting company ID card holder. Except? Still keeping my contractor ID card. It is ID card #007. No rush to give that up.
Fingers still hurt. But yesterday's nurse didn't seem to think I needed medical attention.

The fridge has been beeping intermittently like it's trying to back up since we moved in.
Maybe it's trying to say that you're a real fine woman and you need to back that azz up?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
ita, sorry if my doctor comment last night was rude. It was a bitter amusement on your behalf, but I'm sure there's nothing funny at all about it to you.

Happy Birthday Nora!
ION, Casper just asked if I knew that Justin Bieber was gay. Just a lesson, for parents of younger kids, that once your kid is at loose on the world you have very little control over what they pick up. She did know what gay was (which I don't think we've ever discussed explicitly) and didn't seem to think it was anything more than a curiosity. But I don't think Bieber is gay, actually.
Perhaps Casper saw photos of someone she assumed to be Justin acting all couple-y with Chad Lowe?
Let's hope, right?
Yeah. While I realize that, for example, Palin helped Obama win by driving hordes of moderate voters away from McCain's ticket, I'd really prefer the option of lowered chances of Democrat victory against Republican opponents who aren't likely to regard Dr. Strangelove as a How-To instructional film.

That was a possibility I hadn't considered.
ita, I'm glad the nurse was a help. I love nurse help lines.

I saw a report on some of the mass e-mails he sent out with racist jokes aimed at Obama. I can't believe he won the nomination.
I fear that's why he WON the nomination.
In happier news: HAPPY HAPPY NORA DAY!!!
You are missed 'round these parts, but I'm loving the ground-level tour of NO on your blog (esp. on the food, beer and booze fronts). I'll probably be running over to CBC & Hungry Mother tonight, so I'll toast you with a beverage (or three).

No offense taken, Dana. I just guess I see more doctors than anyone actually outside a facility. At least two a week. It would be ironic for me to get struck by something woeful inbetween.
Amy, usually the nurse lines have been very useless for me. They seemed to be reading from WebMD. This was the first time the person told me something I hadn't already googled.
Man, I'm tempted to leave my posts unedited.
