My one coworker hits "send" on the email and then walks over to talk to me about it. Unnecessary!!

I have a co-worker to whom I do this, but in his case it is necessary because he cannot or will not read emails. I send them anyway so that our correspondance is documented, but if I don't walk over and say "About that email I just sent..." then the whole thing just vanishes into the aether.

I believe it is sometimes necessary and appropriate, but not in these cases. I respond to emails!

Oh, lisah, if you're around, I have one more restaurant suggestion: Gobo.

I'm thankful all of my kids are beyond the age where they needed to follow me into the bathroom at home.

But also for family and for moving to a wonderful place and for this board.

Are any of you people following the gossip about how Kelly Preston wasn't really pregnant? This article about the new baby really never says that she gave birth, does it? [link]

I am thankful that Matilda got into her new preschool, as that's been a huge positive in our lives. Thank you, SFUSD.

I am thankful for the Buffistas pitching in to help us buy a new car. Things were falling apart right there and you helped buoy us. Thank you Buffistas!

I am grateful for our continued health and well-being. As I get closer to my fifties I am very aware of mortality as many of my friends have had to deal with serious health issues.

I am thankful that we live in San Francisco. I have never lived in a place before that was so beautiful and so continually delightful. Thank you, San Francisco.

I am thankful for my family. I have to spend a lot of time with them, so it's extremely fortunate that I enjoy everybody's company tremendously. My family is fun! (Except when they're not, but really everybody's very enjoyable.)

I've had coworkers who send me email asking to do something, and then walk to my cube to ask me if I've done it yet, before the original email arrives.

And I am thankful that my stress test was normal. Now, to find out WHY my first ekg seemed to show that my heart had been deprived of oxygen.

I'm glad it was normal, sumi! I had a stress test last year for diet reasons and everything checked out okay, which was great backup for the EKG I had yesterday, which apparently had little issues that added up to really nothing, according to my doctor, especially since that stress test was so good.

I'm thankful that I don't have the M* family EKG, which is what we've started calling the apparent genetic trend in my mom's family for EKGs that look like heart murmurs, but are actually perfectly all right. My sister, mom, two of my mom's brothers, and several cousins all have had their doctors freaking out over their initial EKGs, only to be given the all-clear after further testing.

I've had coworkers who send me email asking to do something, and then walk to my cube to ask me if I've done it yet, before the original email arrives.

This is the kind of shit I'm talking about. @@

Man, why the hell did I come in to the office today? There's nobody here, I have nothing to do. Feh. My meter runs out at 11:30, so I guess I'll try to hold out that long.
