back to work

[metaphortunate]

Back to work. Nine glorious, glorious societally sort of approved hours in which I won't be headbutted, clawed at, screamed at, bitten, elbowed in soft places, have my eyeballs poked at or my glasses ripped off, or need to wipe shit off anyone. If I had just remembered my Sudafed, I'd be a happy camper.

My mom's all "What a shame you have to go back for just the one day! How stupid!" I'm like, you have no idea.

Of course the daycare isn't open yet so all honor to Mr. E who gets more vacation than I do: so is home with the little monkeys. Every silver lining's got a cloud.

Heh. Glad you're having fun. (:

BTW, I haven't forgotten that we still need to get together!

[metaphortunate]

Yes! Hmmm. Let me check my calendar...

[kalmn]

aw, yeah. go you!

[metaphortunate]

Believe me, I went. :)

[hitchhiker]

hah :)

[thistleingrey]

Yes! I went to work today, too, with hardly anyone else in the office. (My mother did the childminding.)

[metaphortunate]

It's so peaceful and conducive to getting things done!

ETA: And the commute was so light!

It sounds like your mother is in town. If you bring your mother to farmers market tomorrow and we see you I promise to:

a) Be nice and all smooth-talky to her.
b) Drop a celery root on her foot.

YOU CHOOSE!

Can she pick both? I'm sure you could make b) look like an accident...

[metaphortunate]

Hee. No, we just talked on the phone. I'll keep it in mind for next time, though!

[azurelunatic]

Sudafed. That's one of the things I should start keeping stocked at work. (I already have alcohol wipes, generic blue pain pills, and lactase pills. Plus I know where the medicine cabinets are.)

I hardly ever need it, but it's the one thing that I have always had in a desk drawer for the past decade.

[metaphortunate]

I need to.

[metaphortunate]

YES EXACTLY
but including the bonus panel. Yes.

[thistleingrey]

Hee--also with the bonus panel, but very much yes.

I'm glad Mr. E holds up his end there with the childcare, but annoyed it's something that I have to call out for praise instead of it being a norm.

Hope to see you at FogCon?

[metaphortunate]

I hope so. Either the kids or I have been sick every year since the first. :/
