I saw all the bright people
In imposing flocks they landed
And they got what they demanded
And they scratched at the ground
—The Mercy of the Fallen, Dar Williams
Yes it’s random song lyrics night over here. There’s a Dar concert in May nearby I think… Sellersville Theater, anyone? I love songs with good lyrics, especially with a touch of random to them. The random puts me inside the writer’s head in a fun way. (There’s a good recording of the song I’m quoting here but if you prefer live, go here.)
I survived another really long day with some help. I continue to be frustrated, but at least I’m not alone. The cat continues to try to get in my lap whenever possible. He participated in 2 conference calls today. That’s right, Monster Cat does meetings. And the meetings he participates in tend to go pretty well - better than the others, in fact. Monster Cat Meeting Power. I should get that embossed on little leather portfolios and give them to MBA candidates. (Oh, it’s also random rambling night, did I mention that?) I think they’d be very stylish - all the rage next season and all that.
And that’s probably why I should go to sleep now.
And I hope some day
That the best of Falstaff’s planners
Give me seven half-built manors
Where half dreams may dream without end.

Long day because of work? Long day because of daylight savings time? Long day because you need chocolate?

Work. But chocolate would be a feature. ;)
I just need to make it through this week… then next week can be a whole new set of adventures in covering for someone’s vacation. (I’m covering for one guy the first half of the month and another the 2nd half.)

Can I borrow M-Cat and a box of prozac? While your nightmare has an end date, mine is still lingering around and the light at the end of my tunnel might just be a booster rocket igniting. Oh I mean… remain positive.
