The No Good Horrible VERY BAD Friday

[ase]

I was all set to argue myself out of an Aliph Jawbone 2 (Pros:
AWESOME; Cons: it costs as much as the phone I'm pairing it with, you
tool), but I lost my mp3 player today. Replacing my beloved Sansa Clip
trumps bluetooth headset.

Day Three of Understaffed Work-Related Insanity started today at 7:30 AM.

I have been sick for a week and a half.

When I get off my paid job, I go to Capclave, when what I really want
is a long bike ride, a hot shower and a stack of DVDs *this* *high*.
Starting with Moulin Rouge and going down

Thursday night was a series of subtle failures to triumph over my
fundamental desire for 12 hours of sleep and a functional lactase
gene.

I started this at 3 PM, during my "lunch", and now it's six and I'm
finally done at work and I have missed the Friday gripe window. Now
someone's going to try and give me internet hugs, and I will try to
reach back through the fiber-optic cable to smack them, because I feel
in my heart and soul that internet hugs are a prime example of the
false intimacy of the internet.

Will this week just end already, please. Please.

Well, I'll try my best not to hug you over the internet then. ;-p

But please forgive me if I forget, since that is often a natural response of mine. I'm a huggy person and tend to find it a comfortable shorthand for sympathy. Whether I'd actually hug the person on the other end is a matter for question. Usually, yes, but since I haven't met a lot of them, you never know! If you can, do please assume I meant a more suitable expression of sympathy/empathy/consideration. ;-p

I'm glad the week was better!

You get a pass because that's what you would do, and we've interacted online enough that I know you would. :-) It's the occasions when people pop up out of lurkerdom that drive me to distraction.

Ha! Cool! You shouldn't have said that because now I will hug you unmercifully! ;-p

Good to know though, I wouldn't have wanted to make you uncomfortable.

Did you see Sean? Isn't he adorable? (the youtube vid I put up of him)
