I've made a to do list, so it's almost like I've already been productive. I keep dealing with fires and low hanging fruit, so the stuff on my list now is stuff that has been put off so long it might raise issues once I start acting on it. I expect to hear "I thought this had been taken care of already" at least once today.

I did some personal TCB yesterday in setting up appts. I hope I can do a bit more of that today also.

I'm pretty close to setting people on fire today.

Ooh. I'm bored. Can I watch?

I can make some nominations.

Peanut and Juliana update: things are progressing, but Peanut is still taking her time making an appearance. Juliana's mom and I are splitting our time between the L&D room and the waiting room. I will post more when there is something more to report.

Aw, I'm sorry you don't actually feel better!

I actually do! But not, you know, actually well. But thanks!

Go msbelle! Kind of sucks when the low-hanging fruit is all gone, but it does demonstrate your effectiveness. And now I am picturing us all as Lamarckian giraffes.

Who apparently have mastered fire.

It's a brave new world.

Thanks, Lee!

Yay, peanut!

Also, huge layoffs at Gawker, including Annalee Newitz, who apparently had another job lined up and quit of her own accord.

Thanks Lee!! Go peanut go!!

There was an article in the Times saying Gawker was transitioning to a politics site.
