A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

"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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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

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!

You should pitch a new TV series!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sadly, that's not my job.
