Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My treatment this week didn't break the headache. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. It doesn't involve not working tomorrow, because tomorrow is the ridiculous presentation to the directors (I don't get to go to this meeting normally--I'm at least two levels too low on the org chart--but I'm presenting for forty five minutes? In this condition?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh dear, ita. Can you go to the hospital today for anything?

My biggest problem is my tights being too short, which I think I'm going to fix right now with some scissors.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, no, ita! I wish I had an answer for you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ita, can you call your doctor and ask for advice? I'm sorry the treatment didn't help this week.

If anyone's still interested in the Pope, his name, and being a Jesuit, here's a quick piece by Colbert Nation chaplain Jim Martin.

My treatment this week didn't break the headache

Oh, no. I'm so sorry, ita. Sounds like calling the pain doc is a good move.

I have so much to do at home, and enough going on with my folks, that I just lay awake for large stretches of the night, unable to sleep. And then of course I dropped off and had a horrible time getting up. Hate that so much.

I suspect it must be spring break here: my bus was pleasantly empty of the under-18 set. So nice and peaceful.

I don't get to actually speak to the neuro, but I should call the coordinating nurse. I should go do that now. Now that I'm in the office, that is.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thanks for that, Jesse!

Wow, you guys are quiet this morning!

I have a headache that won't go away, the news that the ERs are forbidden to treat me, and a presentation that keeps expanding in scope, and developers that won't reply to my emails. Well, one developer, anyway, and she's pretty much hamstringing me with her silence. If I ask a question on Friday morning about a Tuesday meeting, please feel a little guilty about taking Monday off to shovel snow without telling me if you're able to present tomorrow. And guilty in the way that pays off somehow.

Shithead.

Oh jeez. That's a lot of No Good.

I need to make up work to do. My least favorite part of my job!
