soaked, sick and irritable

this morning started out grand, i had a proper breakfast (granola, coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice) and plenty of time to get to the train station.

i finished what i was working on yesterday, and spent the remainder of the "work" day on a project that's going quite nicely. the "meeting" part of the day was terrible. it was a meta-meeting explaining to us the potential ramifications of not identifying potential problem areas before we begin on what is essentially a project in potentia.

let's all roll our eyes in unison.

the astronaut sits behind the partition by my desk and complained that he can't work if i talk on the phone. i didn't know how to respond to that, apparently he really expects me to leave the office for every call.

the seller's lawyer has found something to bitch about in a standard form mortgage bank contract - i hope that doesn't cause any delays - and i found a plumber who has some interesting ideas and comes highly recommended. now all i have to do is measure and plan.

i got caught in a downpour on the way home, and got absolutely drenched. it did make my headache lesson, which i find a bit strange. i was horrified at how bad the drainage problem is this year.

i'm going to brave the washing machine. then i'm going to go out and drink and bang my head on the bar.
