Not sure where to start here

mousmeTonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness and harmony
I need someone to comfort me...
Feeling a bit fragile today. I guess the week has been a bit stressful. I have a splitting headache (though not a migraine, yay!) which isn't helping matters. Took some Tylenol, hope it goes away soon. I hate waking up with headaches, it just lends a bad taste to the rest of the day.
First day of taking calls yesterday. Super stressful, but ultimately not as bad as I imagined. I'm going to have to work hard at it, though. There's a lot of stuff to remember, and clients tend to be all over the place with their questions, which makes it really hard to keep calls to four minutes or less. In fact, I don't think I had a single call which lasted less than ten minutes (except the one where the customer hung up by mistake).
I was meant to be online most of last night to post to the PBeM, then ICQ kind of went wonky. Got that stupid "the requested server could not be found on the network" or something like that message, so rebooted and tried again. Decided to have a nap while I was waiting for things to fall back into place (usually it just means there are too many people online), and slept right through everything until quarter past twelve today.
Feel really bad about it. I think I really hurt Firewillow's feelings by not being online. Called her the minute I woke up today (we were meant to have lunch), and she was super quiet and noncommittal on the phone. That and her LJ entry kinda got me worried. I mean, I'd like it not to be my fault, but on the other hand it'd be better if it *was* my fault 'cause then I wouldn't have to worry that something worse was going on that she's not telling me about. Oy...
In other news, have a date with Poms tonight, after coffee and Valet with Firewillow. Ought to be fun, at least. We're going to see The Royal Tennenbaums, then he's offered to cook me dinner. We'll probably have that fish soup he's so proud of, which is very sweet. :)
Will likely post details of how that goes later.
My father just came in to ask me if I had any nail polish remover. I live with a bunch of nutcases, I swear. It's a good thing I know he uses it to remove spots on his antique books, or else I'd be really worried. ;)
