I'm REALLY tired and thus having trouble comprehending your posts, tehresa, but it sounds like you've had a bad day!

Also feeling frustrated that I cannot wave a magic wand and cure people. UNFAIR

You should learn Mandarin so you can officiate.

AFAIK mandarin always sounds like an argument about to get violent.

ugh is it really monday AGAIN!?

i could do without this day.

It's a day that exists to remind us how well the other days can be in comparison.

At least on Monday the week is fresh and shiny, full of the hope of productivity. By Wednesday all is smudged, scratched and filled with the despair of reality.

In between is Tuesday, the nexus point of slough.

Only four hours of clinical tonight, from 6 to 10, and then I can jump in to writing a billion pages for Thursday. Clinical is going to be the highlight.

my sister (the one who is NOT mad at me!) is on her way up from d.c. for visiting today and tomorrow with her bff, and i am sad because i have to go to class both nights. stupid school.

"stupid school" = painfully OTM

I hope you get to have some fun with your sister and her bff anyway, tza!

fukkin hate computers

My computer hates me, but it's usually not the other way around. So I'm thinking this is a programmer thing.

wha-?

Am I the only person to look at that and think OMG CHILDHOOD OBESITY OMG

No, I don't think you are

Okay, feeling less crazy now. See, I can always count on HI DERE for that. :)

tom morello wants to be my facebook friend.

NO

how can i do your stupid hw when you don't give a clear assignment?! a;sldkgja

Oh, school. Blah. But hey, my clinicals are over!!! Now I have to write a million pages, though.

xp I don't even know who that is!!! (plz tell me this is not someone superfamous or something)

I would totally friend Tom Morello but that's just because of alumni loyalty. Also I tend to blame Zach for most of the suckiness, regardless of whether that's warranted or not.

(Sara: guitarist for popular-when-we-were-in-college beat combo Rage Against The Machine and later Audioslave)

Happily, none of RATM has asked to be my friend.

I hate Tom Morello after that damn Guitar Hero challenge.

But hey, my clinicals are over!!!

Yay! But boo about the million pages.

I'm reading for this final paper I need to write for G's class. SO BORRRINNNG! I did entry-level English 15 years ago. Going through it again is horrible. I expect a very fancy dinner out of this.

my boss is not here. again.
my job is really boring.
what do i do!?

turn up the rehearsal monitor?

they have not started yet and it's just pit musicians tuning/screwing around :-\

bah, can you wander around the fly galleries, explore interesting spaces whilst carrying some important looking papers?

Hey teh, are you going to be around during whatever show H34th3r Buck is going to be making her Met debut in? She was just in Freischutz up here and she's a lot of fun.

hmm, i can't tell what opera she'll be in - it's not listed on the roster or our internal program. is she just covering something?

Possibly... I'll have to look for our program and see what it is she'll be doing.

Grateful to be awake and at home and NOT wearing scrubs and also now to know who the hell Tom Morello is, thank you all.

Slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow day at work.

Nobody here.

Playing loud evil music.

Tired.

stop fronting, we all know you are bumping "Womanizer" today

I don't know what "Womanizer" is, and thus I may now have a distorted picture of what Ned is doing at work today.

Okay, d3ll had an org-wide mtg this morning about "organizational changes" (read: layoffs) and I have not heard from G since. eek.

Okay, that is kind of scary. Sending good thoughts your say, Susan.

Yeah last week they announced "voluntary" severance packages. They were only applicable at a level higher than him but everyone was encouraged to take a week off w/out pay if they didn't take the package.

We've kind of been waiting for the axe to fall any day. It's unusual for him to not e-mail me during the day so I'm not sure if he's busy or at home.

Guess I'll find out soon enough.

cant you call?

My phone situation is complicated by extreme dislike of them: currently without cell, his is long-distance so I can't call from work, don't know his work phone and we don't have a home phone. haha, ridiculous huh? Ah well, I'm leaving in a few minutes anyway.

That really sucks; best of luck to you.

In other ridiculous news, J031 just called me frantic because she thought she'd lost her bank card and her driver's license. Turns out she put them in the pocket of a coat she decided not to wear yesterday. We are now 16 minutes late (and counting) for drinking because of this.

I hope it all works out, Susan.

Dan, you know that being 16 minutes late for drinking is completely unacceptable. You'll have to make amends to the thread later, my friend.

20 minutes

CURSE YOU, PUFFY COAT

"CURSE YOU, PUFFY COAT" has got to become some kind of new internet meme

CURE YOU, PUFFY'S GOAT

"Puffy the Magic Goat" was a disappointing sequel to "Puff the Magic Dragon"

ding ding ding

Date of separation, Jan 30. Job not being elimnated but transferred to Asia. His role until then, training those employees.

I'm looking up how much it will cost to add him to my insurance and then we're going for drinks.

damn that sucks :(

Very. My best for you both! Get those drinks!

Ugh, that does suck. I hope the drinks are good and that he is able to find a better, more awesome job that can't be transferred to Asia.

u_u

best of luck, susan!

i just had 2 drinks with my sister and her friend and some other people i don't know. it is nice that my sister was here briefly, but i have to say that i'd almost rather have just come home after class than have to go out.

Okay, next week after our final our next class starts - maternal/child/family health. New prof wants to know what song represents "nursing" to us. (New prof = awesome or the fun kind of crazy?)
